Placement and fourteen-day threshold
The adopted 2026 zoning law allows up to two weeks in a driveway, rear yard, or non-address side yard on a corner lot. A regular side yard or street is not substituted. The RV definition concerns readily transportable temporary living units, not manufactured housing.
Extended occupancy requires time-limited approvals
Beyond 14 days, a permit and fee apply. Its validity ends at 90 days or September 15, whichever comes first. RV occupancy beyond 14 days also requires Code Enforcement Officer inspection and approval. The screen does not treat a payment or application as an issued permit.
Sanitation and temporary utilities remain controlled
RVs must generally meet NFPA 1192, including alarms and extinguishers. Supply cords or water hoses cannot cross public sidewalks or other public places. Provide a proper sewage-system connection or continuously available sanitary facilities within a walking path no longer than 500 feet.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm district, site conditions and current requirements with the relevant municipal zoning or code official before acting. Administrative screening of cited local provisions only. Not a permit, legal opinion, safety assurance or complete land-use approval.
