Residential size and placement
Section 156.092(F) limits open storage to two RVs. Each must stay at or below 9 feet high, 34 feet long and 10,000 pounds gross weight; length includes attachments. Ordinary outdoor locations are the interior side or rear yard, at least 3 feet from side and 5 feet from rear lot lines. Only one interior side yard may be used, and RVs including attachments must remain at least 1 foot from a public sidewalk.
Trip loading and the parking surface
Front and corner-side yards are restricted to actual loading or unloading for up to 48 hours before and after a trip. The Zoning Administrator may extend that period; an extension requires individual review. Outside vehicles require an approved all-weather surface reached only from a residential driveway, kept free of weeds and debris. Asphalt, brick and concrete are listed; other surfaces and ribbon strips require the specified approval. Temporary guests have a residency exception, but that does not erase RV registration and other conditions.
No residential use and limited hookups
Parked or stored RVs cannot be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping. Gas, water and sanitary-sewer connections are prohibited; temporary electricity is allowed. RVs must be usable, in repair, have inflated tires and wheels retained, and remain readily removable. Required state licensing and registration to the parking location apply. Unsafe placement and using an RV as an accessory structure are prohibited. This checker does not approve buildings, public streets, vacant lots or special rights.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the parcel and proposal with the local building or zoning office. This limited check is not a permit or a complete legal approval.
Use the Lockport parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
