Public streets and short activity stops
Section 20.05.003 generally bars listed RVs, campers and travel trailers on public streets, rights-of-way, highways and alleys. The activity exception covers temporary loading or unloading of passengers or contents, connection or disconnection, and performance of the intended function. It is limited to 7 a.m. through 10 p.m. and only the time necessary. Do not read the intended-function wording as permission to sleep in an RV. Residential permit requirements must be resolved with police before relying on an activity exception there.
A specific residential weekend permit
A person seeking listed-vehicle parking in a residentially zoned district must first obtain a police permit. The code states a $25 fee and at most four permits per household and premises in a 365-day year. Each permit runs from Friday after 6 p.m. until Monday at 7 a.m., rather than a freely chosen 72-hour period. A permit covers a qualifying coupled combination of no more than two vehicles, with an additional boat-on-trailer condition. Issuance, dates and the actual combination must all be confirmed; eligibility is not itself a permit.
Other restrictions remain in force
Section 20.05.001 prohibits parking on nonpaved surfaces on public or private property and lists restricted street segments and school-hour areas. Section 20.05.002 separately regulates certain heavy trucks and trailers in residential districts overnight. A street permit does not erase those restrictions, traffic hazards or posted signs. This checker deliberately leaves private storage, sleeping, utility connections, heavy commercial vehicles and other special arrangements undecided. Confirm the address and restrictions with the City before parking.
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.
