The adopted 2026 rule
The city-hosted PDF is titled Ordinance 2485, adopted August 11, 2026 and effective August 26, 2026, despite its older-looking URL. Section 4.23 requires major recreational equipment in residential districts to be stored on hard-surfaced parking in the side or rear yard. Its examples include travel trailers, pickup campers, motorhomes, camping buses and tent trailers.
Paving and sidewalk space
Section 4.23 excludes encroachment on an existing sidewalk or the area where a future sidewalk would be built. Section 7.01.03 requires residential driveways, circulation and off-street parking areas to use concrete, asphalt or asphaltic concrete. Gravel is not treated as satisfying this residential paving provision. The checker requires the future-sidewalk area to be confirmed, not guessed from the current pavement.
Required parking and scope
Section 7.01 requires two off-street spaces per dwelling and vehicular street/alley access, with additional rules for special uses. Section 4.23 refers to those standards rather than replacing them. This guide covers only ordinary residential RV storage inside city limits. It supplies no street-parking, sleeping, campground, hookup or discretionary-permit approval.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No extraterritorial, nonresidential, street, sleeping, campground or hookup approval. Source URL date is not the adoption date.
Use the Lexington parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
