Lake Tapawingo RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Class II RV storage belongs in qualifying side/rear locations; yard parking must use a driveway providing access to a garage, carport or dwelling parking area. |
| yard | For a side/rear position not adjacent to a street: at least ten feet from the street, five feet from the lot line and fifty feet from the seawall. |
| guest | RVs cannot be used as living quarters or for business purposes. |
| street | Street restrictions still apply; a non-motorized RV on the street must be attached to a tow vehicle. This checker does not approve street parking. |
| loading | The general over-24-foot loading exception expressly excludes RVs regulated by Section 220.025(A)-(F); do not use it to waive RV storage conditions. |
| hookups | Utility connections and flood-hazard placement need separate review; the checker excludes them. |
| uncertainty | Confirm the detailed RV definition and Class II status. Class I and street-adjacent yard arrangements are not automatically treated as this side/rear scenario. |
Use the City definition, not the marketing label
Section 220.025 defines a temporary living-quarter vehicle by specified equipment: at least four listed amenities, including at least two of propane cooking, potable water with sink/faucet and separate 110–125 volt power. Mobile homes and house trailers are excluded. Class I is under 20 feet long and under 6 feet high, with a limited-extension allowance; Class II includes units 20 feet or longer or 6 feet or higher. The code also states that Class II includes all personal RVs. Obtain confirmation where classification is unclear.
Count both outdoor classes
A residential lot can have one Class II RV, two Class I RVs, or one of each outside a building. This checker handles a confirmed Class II unit, so it allows only one Class II and at most one Class I outdoors. Include the proposed vehicle in your count. The code separately places no numerical limit on the stated indoor Class I or Class II personal-RV storage.
Measure the side or rear position
Class II units use parking surfaces in side and rear yards, at least ten feet from the street. For a side or rear yard not adjacent to a street, the code specifies five feet from the lot line and at least fifty feet from the seawall. The checker deliberately excludes street-adjacent yard and mapped flood-hazard scenarios rather than assuming the same setback treatment.
A clear patch of yard is not enough
Subsection F calls for a hard-surfaced driveway or a surface free from weeds or vegetation. Subsection H also restricts yard parking to a driveway providing access to a garage, carport or dwelling parking area. The checker applies these together; removing grass alone does not establish a compliant parking location.
Keep the RV registered and unoccupied
RVs must have current license registration, must not obstruct public rights-of-way or create safety hazards, and cannot be used as living quarters or for business purposes. A parking result does not authorize overnight guests to occupy the RV, utility connections or conversion to a workplace.
Do not borrow the general loading exception
Subsection G generally restricts motor vehicles exceeding 24 feet overall while recognizing active loading/unloading, but expressly excludes RVs regulated by subsections A–F. RV owners must use the RV provisions rather than treating the loading exception as a waiver. Non-motorized RVs on streets must be attached to tow vehicles, and other street rules remain applicable.
