Cole Camp RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | A camping/travel trailer needs lawful placement and the shared one-unit-per-residence allowance; beyond one week it must be behind the front-yard building line. |
| guest | The code bars permanent camping/travel-trailer occupancy outside an authorized travel trailer court. It does not establish an ordinary guest-stay allowance here. |
| street | The private residential-storage provision does not establish street parking permission. |
| loading | No separate loading exception is established by this storage checker. |
| hookups | Utility connections and occupancy are outside the checked storage arrangement. |
| uncertainty | The checker evaluates camping/travel trailers. Motorhome application of the sentence referring to “said trailer”, floodplain placement and enclosed-building alternatives need separate review. |
Count the shared allowance
Section 405.250 permits no more than one camping or travel trailer, RV or enclosed trailer per living residence on the lot. These are a shared group, not separate allowances for each type. A separate utility-trailer allowance has its own size definition and must not be mistaken for a second travel trailer.
One week changes the placement test
The provision says the trailer must be behind the front-yard building line when parked or stored for more than one week. A period of exactly seven days does not trigger that particular beyond-one-week condition, but every other placement condition still applies. No departure-and-return reset is established by this guide.
Choose the actual parking position
The code permits a driveway position that does not block the sidewalk, a side-yard position on paving or an impervious surface, or a rear-yard position. Confirm the actual yard boundaries and building line; a postal description such as “at home” is not enough to determine them.
Outdoor licensing is a separate rule
Automotive vehicles or trailers without current license plates cannot be parked or stored on residentially zoned property unless inside a completely enclosed building. This checker assesses outdoor storage only. A garage alternative is not evaluated, and an unknown plate status is not treated as current registration.
Storage is not an occupancy permit
Permanent occupancy of a camping or travel trailer is restricted to an authorized travel trailer court. That does not prove short guest sleeping is allowed. Floodplain areas also have a separate approval requirement for protective measures. The checker excludes those arrangements and motorhome interpretations that the trailer wording does not clearly resolve.
