Lyndhurst RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Sleeping is not an ordinary parking use | The selected rule says the equipment may not be used for living or sleeping. A place to park is not a campsite. A claimed Police Department notice exception needs individual confirmation; the checker does not interpret that broad exception as automatic permission to sleep. |
| An approved hard surface outside | Equipment outside a garage must use a hard-surface driveway or turnabout approved by the City. Lawn, gravel or an unconfirmed paved area is not automatically an approved location. A location in the driveway does not establish its approval. |
| Clear the public right of way | No parked recreational vehicle may extend into or within 10 feet of the public right of way. Measure from the right-of-way boundary, not merely the curb or pavement. The phrase within 10 feet can raise an exact-boundary question: the checker flags less than 10 feet and leaves exactly 10 feet for confirmation. |
| Only one outside; maintain the equipment | No more than one recreational vehicle may be outside a completely enclosed structure on any property. Keep equipment in good repair, including coverings and paint, and maintain a current license or registration that is not commercial. |
Start with the property and vehicle
Section 1160.04(a)(3) addresses defined recreational equipment, including travel trailers, pickup campers, motor homes, folding tent trailers and equipment trailers. Its ordinary exception is residential property owned by the equipment owner. A postal address or an RV classification elsewhere is not enough to establish local coverage.
Sleeping is not an ordinary parking use
The selected rule says the equipment may not be used for living or sleeping. A place to park is not a campsite. A claimed Police Department notice exception needs individual confirmation; the checker does not interpret that broad exception as automatic permission to sleep.
An approved hard surface outside
Equipment outside a garage must use a hard-surface driveway or turnabout approved by the City. Lawn, gravel or an unconfirmed paved area is not automatically an approved location. A location in the driveway does not establish its approval.
Clear the public right of way
No parked recreational vehicle may extend into or within 10 feet of the public right of way. Measure from the right-of-way boundary, not merely the curb or pavement. The phrase within 10 feet can raise an exact-boundary question: the checker flags less than 10 feet and leaves exactly 10 feet for confirmation.
Only one outside; maintain the equipment
No more than one recreational vehicle may be outside a completely enclosed structure on any property. Keep equipment in good repair, including coverings and paint, and maintain a current license or registration that is not commercial.
Utilities and temporary preparation
Fixed electric, water, gas or sanitary sewer connections are excluded, with text recognizing temporary connections to prepare or recharge. The checkbox for using utilities does not determine whether a connection is fixed, temporary or within this exception. The checker leaves claimed temporary preparation connections unresolved rather than approving a hookup.
Seasonal dates and the 24-foot distinction
The text identifies May 1 through October 1 for ordinary seasonal equipment and November 15 through March 15 for winter equipment. It also distinguishes motor homes and equipment or trailers over 24 feet and sets a maximum 10 days for listed preparation purposes. The motor-home wording and the period over which those 10 days are counted are not fully clear. This checker does not invent an annual allowance, approve a particular season, or use the seasonal clause to override other requirements.
Police notice and other exceptions
After notice to the Police Department, the section permits exceptions to facilitate loading or unloading or accommodate a resident guest vehicle for no more than 10 days. The exact exception scope and counting period need confirmation. Street parking, guest arrangements, loading and claimed special exceptions remain unknown in this checker rather than inheriting the ordinary property rules.
How currentness was checked
The posted code edition identifies local legislation through September 8, 2026. The official passed-legislation register through October 19 ordinance 2026-79, actual September 22 and October 5 minutes, and adopted recodification 2026-72 were reviewed. No later change to the selected residential recreational-equipment provision was identified. The recodification changes traffic provisions, so this guide does not establish street-parking permission. October 19 minutes were not available; ordinance 2026-79 and the passed register, not its agenda, establish the observed culvert-contract action.
