Seven-day yard restriction
Section 180-133 prohibits RV or travel-trailer parking/storage for more than seven consecutive days in any front yard or a required side/rear yard. The distinction matters: a required yard is the zoning setback area, not necessarily the whole side or rear of the parcel. The checker requires the yard classification to be confirmed before applying this provision.
Owner or renter exception and count
The required side/rear-yard exception applies if the RV is owned or rented by the property owner and has current state registration and inspection. It does not extend the exception to the front yard. Where permitted as an accessory use, at most one RV or travel trailer is allowed. A guest’s vehicle is not assumed to be the property owner’s vehicle.
General accessory-use safeguards
Section 180-128 requires accessory uses on the same lot and incidental to a permitted principal use, with all other chapter standards met. Accessory uses must remain at least ten feet from property/right-of-way lines, outside sight triangles and off septic tanks and primary/backup drainfields. The checker does not resolve occupancy, street parking, utilities or special zoning relief.
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 broader yard, street, occupancy, hookup or special approval; general accessory safeguards still apply.
