Jurisdiction and research scope
Village of Lakemoor, Illinois, residential zoning districts only. Screens the outdoor one-RV limit, principal-residence requirement, front/corner-side yard prohibition and ordinary no-occupancy/no-gas-water-sewer rules. It does not decide surface/collapsible-equipment interpretation, indoor storage, commercial or park uses, street parking or a temporary living approval by the President and Board of Trustees. No general storage permission is issued.
Administrative screening of the cited provisions only. Not a permit, legal opinion, safety assurance or complete parking or land-use approval.

The outdoor count includes the broad local RV definition
Section 22.113(A) limits outdoor parking or storage in a residential district to one recreational vehicle. The definition in §22.011 includes more than motorhomes: it also identifies travel and utility trailers, boats and certain other recreational vehicles. Count all covered units, not only the RV being checked.
The section also prohibits placing an RV on a parcel with no principal residential home or structure. A vacant parcel does not become an RV-storage site merely because the owner also owns a nearby house.
Front and corner-side yards are prohibited locations
Section 22.113(A)(5) says an RV may not be parked in the front or corner side yard. A paved surface does not remove that geographic prohibition. Identify the legal yard classification rather than treating any driveway as a permitted area.
The source also includes collapsible-equipment and surface language, with an “or” between clauses (3) and (4). This narrow screen does not decide that relationship or approve a surface. Side or rear placement must still be reviewed against those clauses and all remaining district requirements.
Living approval is separate from the listed utility ban
Ordinary living or sleeping in an RV is prohibited, except as the President and Board of Trustees may allow on a temporary basis. A claimed approval is referred for review rather than treated as either automatic permission or an automatic violation.
The next clause prohibits natural-gas, water and sanitary-sewer connections. It does not list electricity in that clause; no electrical permission is inferred. A temporary living approval must not be assumed to waive utility, fire, building or other rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the municipality to confirm the exact location, vehicle classification and proposal. This packet does not issue an approval.
Use the Lakemoor Village parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
