|---|---|

Front, rear and side yards
Section 9.03.187 bars front-yard RV parking or storage exceeding 48 hours. Rear-yard parking or storage is the ordinary location. Side-yard storage is available when the rear yard is inaccessible, and may not encroach into the required principal-building side or front yard. This is a parking limit, not a separate 48-hour occupancy permission.
Size, registration and applicable zoning
Residential storage is barred for an RV exceeding 40 feet long or 14 feet high. Current registration is required. Section 9.03.186(b) also addresses storage in parking areas; this screen requires confirmation that the parcel and storage use satisfy applicable zoning rather than treating the RV clause as a universal land-use approval.
Connections and parking-area standards
Permanent connections to sewer, water, gas or electricity are prohibited. Temporary electrical supply to charge batteries is expressly allowed by the RV clause, subject to other safety requirements. Other temporary connections and habitation are not approved here. Applicable parking surfaces, drainage, access and maintenance remain separate under §§9.03.182–185.
Who to contact for your setup
Limited administrative screening only. The municipality must confirm classification, jurisdiction, parcel conditions and any required approvals. No permit, camping right or utility authorization is issued. Official code and 2026 new-law list reviewed November 7, 2026. Ordinance 26-05 changes named CBD parcels to C-2; the RV text is unchanged. The checker requires confirmed residential jurisdiction and excludes rezoned commercial parcels.
