Where residential equipment may be stored
Sections 11-403(6), 11-404(6) and 11-405(6) require major recreational equipment, including travel trailers, boats and related equipment, to be in a carport, enclosed building or behind the part of a building nearest the street. This route covers only confirmed R-1, R-2 and R-3 lots. Required automobile parking must still be supplied.
The loading exception is short
The placement restriction has an exception for loading or unloading periods not exceeding 48 hours. It is not a general allowance for two days of storage, camping or residence. Vehicles or trailers without current plates must be within a completely enclosed building, so the loading exception does not waive that requirement.
No residential sleeping allowance
The same clauses prohibit living, sleeping or housekeeping in the recreational equipment on a residential lot or another location not approved for that use. Carport or behind-building placement is not permission to occupy it. The checker does not approve utility installation, building suitability, variances or other districts.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the address and proposal with the local planning or police office before relying on this limited rule check. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Lenoir City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
