Florissant RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | A driveway may use concrete, asphalt or pavement bricks; a gravel driveway requires lawful nonconforming status confirmation. |
| yard | Behind the established front setback, listed surfaces include pavement, grass pavers, gravel and railroad ties. Adjacent-to-driveway surfaces are narrower. |
| street | Residential street RV parking needs a visible Police Department permit for a 24-hour period; licensed weight above 12,000 pounds is prohibited. |
| loading | No separate unlimited loading exemption is established by these provisions; the parking location and permit rules still matter. |
| guest | Section 340.200 prohibits use as a residence. Short guest sleeping is not automatically approved by parking permission. |
| hookups | The selected parking provisions do not authorize utility connections; confirm those separately. |
Location changes the permitted surface
Section 365.090(A)(2) covers parking behind the front setback lines established under Chapter 405. Its surface list includes concrete, asphalt, pavement bricks, grass pavers, gravel and railroad ties. Do not substitute the edge of a porch or another guessed line for the legally established front setback. The checker prioritizes the behind-setback rule even when the vehicle is also in or beside a driveway; use the forward-of-setback driveway choices only when that broader location rule does not apply.
Driveways and adjacent pads differ
Inside a driveway, the cited rule lists concrete, asphalt and pavement bricks, plus a nonconforming gravel driveway permitted under Chapter 405. An area adjacent to a driveway may use concrete, asphalt, pavement bricks or grass pavers. A gravel strip beside a driveway is not the same as a lawful nonconforming gravel driveway.
Street parking needs a visible 24-hour permit
Section 365.090(A)(5) requires the Police Department form identifying the actual 24-hour period to be attached to the windshield or another visible place on the RV. The rule also preserves other street prohibitions. A permit for yesterday, an application not yet approved, or permission from a neighbor does not establish compliance.
Check licensed weight before selecting the curb
Section 365.090(A)(6) prohibits any motor vehicle or trailer with licensed weight exceeding 12,000 pounds on residential streets. This is a licensed-weight test, not the owner’s estimate of how light the RV is when empty. Exactly 12,000 is not above the threshold, but the permit and other street rules still apply.
Converted buses need a separate review
Vehicles built as buses or commercial delivery trucks and converted to RVs are prohibited in residential zones unless the specific Director of Finance permit provision applies. It requires proof of ownership predating the passage of the section. The checker does not guess that historical date or assume a modern conversion qualifies.
Parking is not residential occupancy
Section 340.200 prohibits occupying or allowing a trailer, camper or house car to be occupied as a residence in the City; its defined trailer category includes campers, house cars and buses. The checker treats confirmed residential use as prohibited. A short guest stay whose legal classification is uncertain remains unresolved rather than being turned into automatic camping permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle category, applicable rules and any actual permit before relying on an exception. Official code sources are linked below.
Use the Florissant parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
