Lyons adopted RV provisions Lyons occupancy and utility prohibition
Side-yard exception
Side-yard placement requires the zoning administrator to determine that rear-yard access is impossible or infeasible. It remains limited to one screened RV beside the dwelling and behind its front building line. All zoning lot-line restrictions apply. This checker uses only the ordinary rear-yard route.
