Lexington RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Parking or storage longer than one week generally requires placement behind the home on a qualifying pad; required open space must remain available. |
| yard | Rear placement requires at least 5 feet from the rear lot line and 10 feet from the side lot line, with no sidewalk or right-of-way overhang. |
| guest | Vehicles may not be lived in on the street. Off-street dwelling has a separate seven-consecutive-days-per-year limit and no permanent utility connections. |
| street | A motorhome, camper or attached travel trailer may use the qualified residential-street exception for a single period up to 24 hours only with safe two-way traffic. |
| loading | The temporary residential-street conditions remain distinct from commercial delivery exceptions. |
| hookups | The off-street dwelling provision prohibits permanent sewer, water or electricity connections; it does not establish general hookup approval. |
| uncertainty | Existing side-yard pads have a limited continuation clause. Confirm that the pad actually existed when the section passed and meets its surface conditions. |
A residential-street stop is a single temporary period
Section 29-30(B)(2) limits the specified motorhomes, campers and travel trailers to a single residential-street parking period not exceeding twenty-four hours. A shorter stay must still satisfy other rules and signs.
Keep the towing vehicle attached and traffic moving
For campers and travel trailers, the temporary-street provision requires the tow vehicle to remain attached. The parked unit must leave the street safe for two-way traffic. Neither condition can be replaced by meeting the time limit.
Do not live in a vehicle on the street
The same paragraph expressly prohibits living in a vehicle parked on the street. It is not an overnight-camping permission, even when the vehicle has been there for less than twenty-four hours.
Longer private storage belongs behind the home
Section 29-30(B)(3) generally requires vehicles stored longer than one week to be behind the home on asphalt, concrete or at least three inches of gravel compacted against rutting. It retains a limited exception for pre-existing qualifying side-yard pads.
Setbacks and open space both matter
The cited private-storage conditions require five feet from the rear lot line and ten feet from the side lot line, with no sidewalk or right-of-way extension. Each vehicle occupies a parking space, and required rear-yard open space cannot be converted into parking. These are separate from the street check.
Off-street dwelling has its own conditions
The text limits off-street dwelling in a motorhome, camper or travel trailer to seven consecutive days per year and prohibits permanent sewer, water or electrical connections. Authorized travel-trailer parks have a separate provision; the checker does not generalize that permission to a house lot.
