Front-yard storage has a seasonal driveway exception
Section 165.07 bars front-yard RV parking or storage exceeding 48 hours. It separately allows longer seasonal use on a paved driveway between April 1 and October 31 if the vehicle does not encroach into public rights-of-way or pedestrian routes. This exception does not approve occupied use or waive the other conditions.
Rear yard first; side yard needs inaccessible rear
The selected clause allows rear-yard storage or parking. If the rear yard is not accessible, it describes side-yard storage outside the required side-yard and front-yard areas for principal buildings. Check the actual district setbacks in Section 165.06; a generic side-yard label is insufficient.
Residential storage size caps
An RV exceeding 40 feet in length or 14 feet in height may not be stored in a residential area. Exactly 40 feet or 14 feet does not exceed the stated cap, but that alone is not full site approval. The checker does not turn this storage rule into a blanket size ban for temporary parking or other zones.
Current registration and permanent utilities
RVs must have current registration. Permanent connections to sewer, water, gas or electricity are prohibited. The section separately permits temporary electrical supply for battery charging; it does not broadly approve temporary water, sewer or occupied-use hookups.
The zoning definition must fit
Section 165.04 defines an RV using a single chassis, no more than 400 square feet at the largest horizontal projection, self-propelled or permanently light-truck-towable design, and temporary recreational living rather than permanent dwelling design. Larger or differently classified units require separate review rather than an assumed RV answer.
Overlapping storage rules remain important
Section 165.07 also contains general vehicle-storage and parking-area restrictions tied to permitted district uses. The checker gives selected prohibited outcomes or an unresolved result; it does not approve every rear-yard or seasonal driveway arrangement. Sleeping, residence, street parking and complete site-use approval remain separate.
