Residential parking
Section 603.D(16)(g) requires RVs and boats to be maintained against fuel or mechanical-fluid leakage. An RV at least 26 feet long cannot remain in the front yard of a dwelling in a residential district for more than four days in any seven-day period. This is not a blanket allowance for every front-yard space: applicable accessory-use setbacks and parking requirements still apply.

Using an RV as a residence
Sections 603.D(16)(i) and 1301.D cap residential use at five days in any 30-day period. The approved-campground exception requires its own approval and is not evaluated here. Staying within the numerical cap does not waive zoning, sanitation or other restrictions.

Confirm the parcel first
The Borough lists later zoning amendments, including energy and information-technology provisions and zoning-map changes. The reviewed amendments leave these RV-specific provisions unchanged, but the exact current district and allowed residential accessory use must be confirmed. This route does not authorize hookups, commercial uses, repair work or street parking.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No campground, commercial-use, repair, utility, street or floodplain approval. Current parcel district and all other restrictions require confirmation.
Use the Jessup parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
