Jurisdiction and research scope
Town of Firestone, Colorado, confirmed public right-of-way. Adopted Ordinance 1060 of March 12, 2025, establishing §10.04.285 / Model Traffic Code §1214, read October 23, 2026. This is the enacted parking provision, not a complete current zoning or occupancy review. Residential size restrictions remain separate from RV loading and permit routes.

Which vehicles does this rule cover?
The ordinance defines a recreational vehicle as a motor vehicle constructed for temporary dwelling or sleeping occupancy. It separately defines travel trailers, including folding types, and trailers used to carry property. Adventure vans, camper vans and pickups with attached camper shells are expressly excluded from the RV definition; that exclusion does not establish unrestricted parking for them.
Can I load my RV in front of my home?
The ordinary exception allows an RV, travel trailer or trailer directly in front of its registered owner’s single-family or multifamily dwelling for no more than 72 hours while being loaded or unloaded. A friend’s house, an unrelated curb or unoccupied storage between trips does not establish this loading route.
What if I need more than 72 hours?
Code Enforcement may issue a permit for a longer stay on public right-of-way adjacent to a residentially zoned lot. The vehicle must be directly in front of the applicant’s single-family or multifamily dwelling. The allowance may not exceed 15 calendar days within a calendar year. Confirm the issued permit, registered owner and every actual condition; requesting one is not approval.
Do large vehicles face another residential restriction?
Yes. On either side of public right-of-way adjacent to a residentially zoned lot, subsection (2) separately restricts commercial vehicles and trailers, motor vehicles over 25 feet long, trailer-and-motor-vehicle combinations over 25 feet long or over 8 feet wide, and trailers or travel trailers over 25 feet long. The motor-vehicle length calculation excludes towing gear, bumpers and attached cargo racks. A loading or RV permit route is not treated here as overriding these separate restrictions.
Is there a service-vehicle exception?
The residential prohibition has an exception when the vehicle is being used to render services to property within 200 feet. This checker leaves a claimed service exception for case-specific confirmation rather than assuming that trip preparation or parking for guests is a qualifying service.
Does moving to another curb reset the rule?
No. The ordinance says moving the vehicle elsewhere within the right-of-way is not a defense; the vehicle must be removed from the right-of-way to comply. This is not an automatic new 72-hour entitlement every time it moves.
What about driveway storage, sleeping or hookups?
These public-right-of-way exceptions do not establish complete home-storage zoning, occupied-use or utility-connection permission. Confirm the actual parcel and activity separately. The camper-van exclusion also needs the other applicable parking rules checked.
