Does this cover Doylestown Township?
No. Doylestown Borough and Doylestown Township have separate zoning codes. This guide addresses the Borough’s travel-trailer storage use, §27-406 Use 66, rather than extending that rule to every motorhome or campground.
What does Use 66 require?
In all districts, no more than one travel trailer may be stored on a lot; it must be owned by the lot occupant and remain unoccupied. The count and ownership conditions do not apply where trailer storage is a permitted principal use. That exception does not remove the unoccupied requirement or the incorporated outside-storage conditions.
Where can outdoor trailer storage go?
Use 66 incorporates Use 64. Outside storage cannot occupy a street right-of-way, sidewalk or other pedestrian area, required parking, or a required front yard. Its area must be less than half the existing building coverage and it must be shielded from public-street view.
Are there special exceptions?
Use 64B allows certain more land-intensive storage uses to seek a Zoning Hearing Board special exception from the area and screening clauses, subject to additional limits including a 25% lot-area ceiling. It is not an automatic homeowner exception. The ordinary checker does not approve that route, street parking, loading, living use or hookups.
What should I ask before parking?
Give zoning staff the parcel address, vehicle type, parking position, intended use and duration. Ask about legal yard boundaries, easements, impervious coverage, floodplain restrictions and any later ordinance. Sleeping, utility installation and repair work need their own answers. A storage business is not automatically an overnight campground. Private covenants and leases can be stricter.
