Jurisdiction and research scope
Lee’s Summit city limits only. Full current City vehicle-storage guidance readOctober 21,2026. The 2022 adopted parking reform’s passage record and attachment were also read, but the unsigned bill attachment is not treated as a certified final consolidated code. The City’s current table is the guide’s decision source; unconfirmed district, count, setback and exception details remain conditions.

Lee’s Summit RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway storage | The ordinary single-drive row is not permitted. Equipment up to 20 feet can use the listed two-car or three-plus-car configurations; larger RVs need a listed accessory pad or separate corner-lot drive. |
| Yard storage | The exact current Chapter 16 layout, item count, zoning, surface and clearance conditions still need review; the official table is not complete parcel approval. |
| Street parking | The home-storage table does not establish street parking or loading permission; current curb rules need separate review. |
| Guest sleeping | Current guidance prohibits long-term dwelling and permanent hookups. Short-term guidance describes up to 28 days per year and four seven-day occurrences; disputed patterns need City clarification. |
Can I store an RV on a single driveway?
The City table lists an ordinary single drive as not permitted for the RV/travel-trailer/toy-hauler/utility-trailer categories and for boats, personal watercraft, ATVs and associated trailers. A single drive with an accessory pad has a different row. Simply calling the vehicle small does not turn an ordinary single drive into an approved layout.
What changes at 20 feet?
For RVs, travel trailers, toy haulers and utility trailers 20 feet or less, two-car and three-or-more-car drives are listed as permitted configurations. For equipment greater than 20 feet those drives without an accessory pad are listed not permitted. Exactly 20 feet belongs in the smaller category. The table does not establish that every permit, setback or site condition is satisfied.
Where must a larger RV sit?
On a listed drive with an accessory pad, an RV over 20 feet is permitted on the accessory pad only. Parking it on the drive beside an unused pad does not satisfy that row. The table separately lists a separate drive on a corner lot as permitted for all three equipment columns. Confirm that the built layout qualifies rather than assuming every corner property has that drive.
Are boats treated like large travel trailers?
The official table places boats, personal watercraft, ATVs and associated trailers in their own column, without the 20-foot division used for RVs and utility trailers. Do not apply the RV length column to an unrelated boat configuration. Vehicle type, actual driveway and current code conditions must all agree.
Can visitors live or sleep in the RV?
Current City guidance prohibits long-term on-site dwelling and permanent sewer, gas, electrical or water connections. It describes short-term dwelling up to 28 days per year, with no more than four occurrences and a seven-day duration per occurrence. The unsigned 2022 attachment describes variations within annual limits, so this checker does not resolve disputed stay patterns or approve a guest setup from a clock alone. Ask the City which current terms apply.
Why does the guide refer to Chapter 16?
The clerk’s passage record confirms the December 2022 reform moved private-property vehicle rules from the UDO into Property Maintenance Chapter 16. Do not rely on an older UDO summary alone. The current City table does not reproduce every district, count, clearance or surface condition; ask Development Services to check the actual current text and parcel before relying on a permitted configuration.
Does the home-storage table allow street parking?
No. The table concerns private parking/storage layouts. It does not establish a universal RV curbside clock, loading permit or public-street sleeping allowance. Describe the exact curb and loading activity to Police and check signs and access separately.
