| Location or use | What to check |

Keep outdoor storage out of the front yard
Section 175-131 permits outdoor storage of unoccupied RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, campers and small boats on single-family properties, but excludes the required front yard. The required yard is a zoning measurement rather than simply the lawn in front of the house. Other site and district restrictions remain relevant; an available driveway space is not enough to determine compliance.
Vehicle type changes the size rule
For a travel trailer, camper or small boat, the section sets a 35-foot length and eight-foot width maximum, allows only one outdoors at a single-family residence and limits consecutive storage to 12 months. It separately says RVs and motor homes longer than 35 feet must be within required building setback lines. Because these clauses use different vehicle categories, the checker evaluates travel trailers and campers only. A motor home should not be rejected solely for exceeding 35 feet under the trailer rule.
Storage does not allow occupancy
Vehicles stored under this section must remain unoccupied. Utility connections are prohibited except for vehicle maintenance. The checker does not authorize a maintenance connection without separate confirmation of its purpose and other applicable requirements. No street-parking or short loading exception follows from this outdoor-storage provision. Sleeping, ongoing dwelling use, enclosed storage, commercial sites and street loading need their distinct rules or approvals.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address, vehicle class and activity with the municipal code or police office before relying on a permit or exception. Private restrictions and other applicable laws remain in force.
