Davison RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Rear-yard and side-yard routes differ | Rear-yard storage needs adequate access available or potentially available. Side-yard storage additionally needs asphalt, concrete or pavers approved by the Building Official and is limited to two RVs. The ordinary parking-pad provision is not interchangeable with this storage surface. |
| Three feet from side and rear boundaries | All placements under the section must retain at least three feet between the RV and side/rear lot lines. Exactly three feet meets only this distance test; it does not establish access, surface or site-plan compliance. |
| Front extensions require an official determination | Only a permanent side/rear access difficulty determined by the Building Official can support the front-extension route. Placement is within the extended side-yard area, outside twenty feet from road right-of-way, on the specified approved surface. The checker does not decide this discretionary route. |
| Occupant ownership, credentials and condition | Stored units must be owned and licensed or registered to the lot occupant. They must remain in good condition and operable, with current state license or registration prominently displayed. A neighbor’s permission alone is not enough. |
Confirm Davison city and the residential site
This guide covers the City of Davison, not Davison Township. The checker is limited to parcels confirmed outside the DDA Overlay District, because Ordinance 2026-05 adds controlling overlay rules. Section 1288.21 otherwise addresses property zoned or used residentially with a principal building. Apartment and mobile-home-park site-plan conditions can add requirements.

Edition and unverified routes
The publisher overview states legislation through December 31, 2024 while the city index labels the linked code through 2025. Reviewed later ordinances include 2026-02 codification and 2026-05 DDA overlay. No change to §1288.21 was found in that reviewed set, but the overlay must be checked separately. Confirm later amendments; loading, street and discretionary routes remain unresolved.
