Dardenne Prairie RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Residential loading normally has a two-consecutive-calendar-day limit followed by at least two clear calendar days; any part of a day counts as a whole day. |
| yard | A separate R-1A Single-Family Residential exception allows no more than one RV; confirm actual zoning, paving and other applicable requirements. |
| street | RV street and adjacent right-of-way parking is prohibited except temporary active loading/unloading for no more than two aggregate hours in any 24-hour period. |
| loading | The two-hour street clock is different from the residential calendar-day loading rule. |
| guest | The selected parking exceptions do not establish permission to sleep or reside in an RV. |
| hookups | No utility-connection approval is established by these parking exceptions. |
At the curb, loading must be active
Section 350.340(B)(4)(a) prohibits parking recreational vehicles, equipment and trailers on a street or adjacent right-of-way except temporary active loading or unloading. A vehicle waiting empty before a trip is not automatically being actively loaded. The checker supports a confirmed recreational vehicle, not a vehicle requiring separate business or commercial classification.
Count the whole two-hour aggregate
The street exception lasts no more than two hours in aggregate in any 24-hour period. Exactly two hours is within that stated ceiling; more is not. It is not a fresh allowance every time the vehicle is moved or each time someone carries an item. Other street signs, safety and traffic restrictions still apply.
A residential lot has a different calendar clock
Outside the separate R-1A exception, residential loading/unloading cannot exceed two consecutive calendar days. Any portion of a day counts as the entire day, and the RV then must remain off the same lot for at least two consecutive calendar days. This is not a 48-hour stopwatch and should not be substituted for the street clock.
Confirm R-1A rather than assuming it
Subparagraph(B)(4)(b) separately allows no more than one RV on a lot zoned R-1A Single-Family Residential. A postal address or a detached house does not establish that zoning. Other residential lots do not inherit this specific exception. The checker leaves private-property scenarios for individual review rather than assuming the district or the effect of other applicable rules.
Paving and enclosed storage still matter
General lot-parking rules require a paved area covering the whole vehicle footprint; specified surfaces include concrete, asphalt, brick, interlocking pavers or similar City-approved materials and must remain free of grass and weeds. Equipment/material storage on vehicles must be screened except secured ladders. The chapter separately permits excess equipment or vehicles in a completely enclosed garage; this is not permission for an open yard.
Keep sleeping and hookups separate
These are selected parking exceptions, not camping or residence approvals. Do not use a compliant loading result as permission for guest sleeping or utility connections. The published code edition includes legislation through June 3, 2026; the later-law list was checked separately for relevant amendments.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask municipal staff to confirm the exact parcel, vehicle classification, applicable code sections and any necessary approval. The official code and later-law sources are linked below.
