Jurisdiction and research scope
Elm Grove outdoor RV placement distinguishes street yards, three-foot structure and six-foot lot margins, screening, condition and a separate visitor exception. These selected checks do not supply complete parking or accommodation permission.

Elm Grove RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street yards include the driveway portion | Subsection A2 prohibits RVs, trailers and their components in a street yard, including the portion of a driveway within that yard. A driveway selector therefore cannot establish permission. Corner lots also have both relevant street setbacks under A3; confirm the surveyed yard rather than relying on a front-door orientation. |
| Side and rear placement uses different structure and lot margins | The A1 RV route covers units no more than 45 feet long that are not primary housing units, with at least three feet to the principal structure and six feet to any lot line. Exactly those distances meet only those particular thresholds. Do not substitute the separate antique/special-interest vehicle lot-line rules from Section 335-37. |
| Screening and vehicle condition are independent requirements | A1 requires screening from adjacent lots by a compliant fence or continuous dense landscaping. C2 requires valid current licensing/registration where required and bars visibly disrepaired or partially constructed parked/stored RVs outside a conforming completely enclosed structure. A fence merely being present does not prove it meets the cited standards. |
| Habitation and the fourteen-day visitor provision are distinct | C1 excludes human habitation, including sleeping, eating, resting and conducting business, except as provided by D. D normally requires resident-owner or tenant ownership and provides an outside-community family/friend visitation exception not exceeding 14 days per calendar year. The checker does not interpret that exception as automatic accommodation or a waiver of street-yard rules; claimed visitor use is sent for direct review. |
Confirm the ordinary residential outdoor route
Section 335-33 controls RV and trailer parking/storage in Elm Grove Village. The checker selects ordinary outdoor residential placement by a resident owner or tenant. Enclosed structures, nonresidential Building Board approval, nonconforming premises and the separate outside-community visitor exception require individual review.
Street yards include the driveway portion
Subsection A2 prohibits RVs, trailers and their components in a street yard, including the portion of a driveway within that yard. A driveway selector therefore cannot establish permission. Corner lots also have both relevant street setbacks under A3; confirm the surveyed yard rather than relying on a front-door orientation.

D normally requires resident-owner or tenant ownership and provides an outside-community family/friend visitation exception not exceeding 14 days per calendar year. The checker does not interpret that exception as automatic accommodation or a waiver of street-yard rules; claimed visitor use is sent for direct review.
Enclosed and nonresidential routes are not ordinary outdoor clearance
A describes a fully enclosed accessory permanent structure for residential or nonconforming residential premises. B requires an application and Building Board review of site/operational plans for open nonresidential storage, excluding mobile homes. These routes cannot be replaced by the ordinary outdoor checker or a generic claim that parking is private.
Driveway work, general parking and utility questions remain separate
General parking and driveway provisions address surfacing, access, drainage, permits and other constraints. Creating or changing a driveway is not authorized by this checker. The selected RV storage language supplies no sewer, water or electrical connection permission, and no street-parking clearance.
Current published code and actual later-law listing checked
The published code includes legislation through March 24, 2026. The official later-law listing currently reports no known new laws. That bounded review does not guarantee the absence of unposted amendments or resolve parcel-specific approvals; confirm any exception and current application with the Village.
