| guest | Temporary housing outside parks: short Chief of Police permit route and separate written Building Department route. |
Does a short trailer stay need a permit?
Section 16.6 addresses trailers and mobile homes used as temporary housing outside mobile-home and trailer parks. For periods of seven days or fewer it says such permits may be granted by the Chief of Police and are not renewable. Owner consent or a suitable driveway does not establish that permit.
Confirm that this temporary-housing provision applies to the proposed guest or other occupancy and obtain the actual permit and conditions before relying on it.
What does the ordinance say about longer occupancy?
The published text describes a longer period starting at more than one year and not exceeding eighteen months, provided a written Building Department permit has been granted. It allows that department to renew a permit for one or more additional periods of six months or less.
The text does not clearly supply a route for eight days through one year. Do not silently change its wording to assume that every stay up to eighteen months is allowed. Ask the Building Department to resolve the duration and exact authority for the intended stay.
Which vehicles are covered by the trailer definition?
The ordinance defines trailer as a vehicle that is or can be used for sleeping, living or working and is, has been or can be mounted on wheels. The classification is broader than an ordinary towable-trailer label; confirm its application to a particular motorhome or camper with the City.
Does the temporary-housing route clear home storage or street parking?
No. Section 16.6 is about temporary housing outside parks. It does not resolve unoccupied RV storage, yard setbacks, ordinary street parking, repairs or hookups. Park approvals and permit renewals must also be considered separately rather than inferred from an initial short stay.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City of Leominster building or zoning staff about vehicle classification, the exact parcel, approvals and later amendments. Ask police about street signs and temporary traffic restrictions. Check lease, HOA and deed restrictions separately.
Use the Leominster parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
