Crafton Borough RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | No general driveway placement approval; front-yard restrictions and required parking remain relevant. |
| yard | Ordinary outdoor storage belongs behind the principal building in the rear and has permit, screening and setback conditions. |
| street | Street storage prohibited; street parking is outside these three private-site scenarios. |
| loading | Not a general loading exemption. The chapter’s duration calculation still applies. |
| guest | Dwelling or habitation on the owner’s property is prohibited. |
| hookups | No utility installation or connection approval is issued. |
The 72-hour distinction and reset
Up to 72 hours is parking; longer is storage. A break resets continuity only after at least 72 consecutive hours off the owner’s premises. Outdoor parking or storage is limited to one RV, and dwelling use is prohibited.
Outdoor storage requires a current permit
§214-93 requires a storage permit obtained by the lot owner, expiring no later than January 1 after issuance and renewable for at most a year at a time. Application details include a scaled site plan and screening. Placement and required vehicle parking remain separate constraints.
A temporary permit is discretionary
The Zoning Officer may permit temporary parking or storage for at most 14 days after findings about adjoining-lot appearance and light/air. This does not itself permit habitation. Current §225-29(I)(6) retains the §214-93 storage-permit requirement.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the municipality’s zoning or code official to confirm the parcel, current law, classification and any approval before acting.
Use the Crafton Borough parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
