Jurisdiction and research scope
Coloma separates outdoor residential trailer storage from temporary lodging: one covered unit, side/rear placement, and a thirty-day calendar-year lodging limit on a lot containing a dwelling. These selected checks do not supply complete parking or accommodation permission.

Coloma RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Outdoor storage is limited to one unit | Section 480-3I(1) limits outdoor parking or storage of camping trailers, travel trailers and motor homes on a residential lot to one. This is not permission for every other vehicle or an exemption from general zoning requirements. |
| Side or rear means relative to the building | The same clause requires the covered outdoor unit at the side or rear of the principal building. A front driveway is not automatically a side or rear location. The checker asks for the actual building-relative position rather than guessing from the word driveway. |
| Temporary lodging has a calendar-year limit | Section 480-3I(3) provides a separate temporary-lodging route on a lot containing a dwelling, limited to thirty days in a calendar year. Meeting that number does not establish compliance with every parking, safety or accommodation rule. The checker does not approve residential habitation. |
| Construction and damaged-home permits are separate | Section 480-3I(2) addresses temporary permits for construction office or storage and interim dwellings during construction or after damage. Location, removal, expiry and written-extension requirements apply. These are excluded from the ordinary checker instead of being treated as automatic exceptions. |
Confirm the Village and covered equipment
This guide concerns the Village of Coloma, not the surrounding Town. Section 480-1 distinguishes camping trailers under 130 square feet without built-in sanitary facilities from travel trailers of at least 130 but under 220 square feet. Motor homes are expressly included in the selected parking and temporary-lodging clauses. An uncertain classification needs direct review.
Outdoor storage is limited to one unit
Section 480-3I(1) limits outdoor parking or storage of camping trailers, travel trailers and motor homes on a residential lot to one. This is not permission for every other vehicle or an exemption from general zoning requirements.
Side or rear means relative to the building
The same clause requires the covered outdoor unit at the side or rear of the principal building. A front driveway is not automatically a side or rear location. The checker asks for the actual building-relative position rather than guessing from the word driveway.
Temporary lodging has a calendar-year limit
Section 480-3I(3) provides a separate temporary-lodging route on a lot containing a dwelling, limited to thirty days in a calendar year. Meeting that number does not establish compliance with every parking, safety or accommodation rule. The checker does not approve residential habitation.
Construction and damaged-home permits are separate
Section 480-3I(2) addresses temporary permits for construction office or storage and interim dwellings during construction or after damage. Location, removal, expiry and written-extension requirements apply. These are excluded from the ordinary checker instead of being treated as automatic exceptions.
Other vehicles and unresolved utilities
Section 480-3I(4) separately addresses boats, snowmobiles, cargo trailers, recreational vehicles and similar equipment, including the required front yard and major-repair restrictions. Overlapping category questions require direct review. These selected provisions do not establish utility hookup permission or public-street parking rules.
