Owner-property parking versus storage use
Section 10-18 distinguishes parking an RV on its owner’s property from using it as a residence or for permanent storage purposes. Parking is conditional on every other zoning provision. This is not an unconditional driveway or yard authorization, and this guide does not invent a day limit for the phrase permanent storage.

R-1 and R-2 street limit
Section 221-3 prohibits parking, standing or storing covered RVs, trailers, boat trailers and commercial vehicles on streets in R-1 or R-2 for more than two hours, unless actual loading or unloading is occurring. Chapter 10 otherwise prohibits their street parking except as provided in governing traffic law. This checker screens that limited traffic exception and requires remaining traffic rules to be confirmed.

Exceptions and residence prohibition
Chapter 221 exempts working contractors’ vehicles shorter than 17 feet, noncommercial passenger vans, passenger vans and passenger pickups shorter than 17 feet including attachments, emergency vehicles, and town or other government vehicles on official business. These classifications are referred for separate review rather than misclassified as ordinary motorhomes. Section 10-18 separately prohibits using covered units as residences or for permanent storage; a two-hour street allowance does not authorize living in the RV.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No determination of Delaware law, other zoning districts, utility hookups or the legal meaning of a disputed storage use. Current eCode new-law register shows no uncodified ordinances.
