Flushing Charter Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway clearance and one-RV rule | Section 36-319(J) requires a driveway RV to remain at least 100 feet from any window or door of a residence adjoining the property or across the street. Only one RV may occupy the driveway at a time. This is not a blanket one-RV limit for every location on the parcel. |
| Frontage and yard choice | For frontage below 125 feet, the amendment identifies the rear yard; at 125 feet or more it identifies the side or rear yard. The checker flags ordinary side-yard storage on narrower parcels, but does not declare all other locations lawful. Confirm side-yard definitions; the relationship between the independent driveway provision and side-yard frontage rule is unresolved, so a compliant side-yard driveway is not flagged solely for frontage. |
| Front setback is still protected | The amendment prohibits parking in the required front-yard setback. Existing section 36-319(B) also addresses the area between the established setback and curb. A driveway clearance measurement alone cannot authorize parking within that setback. |
| Condition, credentials and covers | While in the driveway, an RV must be operable and display its current plate or appropriate registration. Any vehicle cover must be intact and securely fastened. The junk-automobile permit provisions in Chapter 19 are not general RV storage permission. |
Confirm township and vehicle classification
The City of Flushing is a separate jurisdiction. The 2026 definition is broad, but a unit at least 40 feet long connected to water or sewer is treated as a mobile home. Confirm the classification before using this selected RV route; mobile-home permissions are not modeled.
Driveway clearance and one-RV rule
Section 36-319(J) requires a driveway RV to remain at least 100 feet from any window or door of a residence adjoining the property or across the street. Only one RV may occupy the driveway at a time. This is not a blanket one-RV limit for every location on the parcel.
Frontage and yard choice
For frontage below 125 feet, the amendment identifies the rear yard; at 125 feet or more it identifies the side or rear yard. The checker flags ordinary side-yard storage on narrower parcels, but does not declare all other locations lawful. Confirm side-yard definitions; the relationship between the independent driveway provision and side-yard frontage rule is unresolved, so a compliant side-yard driveway is not flagged solely for frontage.
Front setback is still protected
The amendment prohibits parking in the required front-yard setback. Existing section 36-319(B) also addresses the area between the established setback and curb. A driveway clearance measurement alone cannot authorize parking within that setback.
Condition, credentials and covers
While in the driveway, an RV must be operable and display its current plate or appropriate registration. Any vehicle cover must be intact and securely fastened. The junk-automobile permit provisions in Chapter 19 are not general RV storage permission.
Duration and occupancy remain separate
The amendment expressly leaves sections 36-319(A)–(F) and (H)–(I) unchanged. The older code includes a more-than-48-hour temporary-permit requirement outside licensed RV parks, occupancy restrictions, sanitation and attachment controls. Their interaction with the new storage paragraph and any visitor or construction approval needs township review. This checker therefore does not issue a permitted result, decide sleeping or residence, or turn passing storage checks into a time allowance.
Current text and next steps
The township currently posts the certified April 14, 2026 amendment as its approved RV ordinance and issued an April 16 adoption notice. The ordinance ties effectiveness to publication; this guide does not invent the exact effective date from the website timestamp. Use the approved amendment with the unchanged code sections, confirm later amendments and parcel-specific approvals, and obtain a written answer before relying on a storage arrangement.
