Garage or side/rear storage
Section 7.03(B) applies to recreational equipment including motorhomes, travel trailers, camper bodies, boats and utility trailers in residential districts. Outside a garage, store in the side or rear yard with at least three feet between the unit and the side or rear lot line. Building and Fire Departments may review side/rear storage for safety.
Front-yard loading is brief
A front-yard position is available for loading and unloading for no more than 48 hours. It may not obstruct views of driveways or vehicular/pedestrian traffic on adjoining properties. The separate clear-vision rule includes 25-foot street-corner triangles and six-foot triangles at single-family driveway intersections, measured as described in §7.02. This is not a general 48-hour guest or street-parking allowance.
Ownership and condition
After 48 hours, residential storage is limited to equipment owned by and licensed or registered to the lot’s occupant. Units must be fully operable, in good repair and display appropriate current plates or registration. Flammable or explosive fuels/material cannot be stored contrary to other law. Multiple-family sites may require a screened area after the specified City review.
Sleeping and fixed connections
The equipment may never be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping on this residential route. Fixed connections to electricity, water, gas or sanitary sewer are prohibited. The fixed-connection wording does not automatically authorize every temporary hookup; get a separate answer for the exact connection and purpose.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Eastpointe Planning, Building or Code Enforcement to confirm the parcel jurisdiction, zoning district, vehicle classification, measured position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions. Bring the actual written terms of any permit or variance. Private covenants, leases, easements, access and later adopted amendments remain separate.
Use the Eastpointe parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
