Maize RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Residential front and street-side yards | Ordinance 1096 changed III-D.7.b.(11), effective October 1, 2025. In a required front-yard setback or a side yard facing a public street, no more than one RV owned by the dwelling occupant or a visitor may be stored for up to 72 hours. A driveway is not automatically outside a required yard. |
| Removal and return are separate limits | At least 24 hours must pass between removal of the RV and its return. Moving briefly away does not restart the 72-hour limit. Exactly 72 hours is the maximum ordinary stay and exactly 24 hours is the minimum break, but meeting those figures alone does not establish complete site approval. |
| Occupied does not mean unrestricted residence | The amended storage provision expressly covers occupied and unoccupied RVs. Do not turn that wording into a general right to live permanently in a yard, connect services or camp on the street. Occupancy, sanitation, floodplain and parcel-specific restrictions require separate checks. |
| Requests for extra time | A residential occupant can make a written request explaining exigent circumstances. The Police Chief or designee may approve an exception to the 72-hour duration. Visitor use for a defined short time or a disaster affecting the primary home are examples, not guaranteed approvals. The text addresses extra time, not a blanket waiver of the RV-count or return-break conditions. |
Residential front and street-side yards
Ordinance 1096 changed III-D.7.b.(11), effective October 1, 2025. In a required front-yard setback or a side yard facing a public street, no more than one RV owned by the dwelling occupant or a visitor may be stored for up to 72 hours. A driveway is not automatically outside a required yard.
Removal and return are separate limits
At least 24 hours must pass between removal of the RV and its return. Moving briefly away does not restart the 72-hour limit. Exactly 72 hours is the maximum ordinary stay and exactly 24 hours is the minimum break, but meeting those figures alone does not establish complete site approval.
Occupied does not mean unrestricted residence
The amended storage provision expressly covers occupied and unoccupied RVs. Do not turn that wording into a general right to live permanently in a yard, connect services or camp on the street. Occupancy, sanitation, floodplain and parcel-specific restrictions require separate checks.
Requests for extra time
A residential occupant can make a written request explaining exigent circumstances. The Police Chief or designee may approve an exception to the 72-hour duration. Visitor use for a defined short time or a disaster affecting the primary home are examples, not guaranteed approvals. The text addresses extra time, not a blanket waiver of the RV-count or return-break conditions.
Home-business storage and other locations
Outdoor storage of RVs used in a home occupation is not allowed as a residential accessory use under paragraph(c). The ordinary accessory-storage provision is tied to personal property of the dwelling occupant; the express visitor language appears in the front/street-side RV clause. Other yards, commercial storage and streets need separate review; the front-yard clock should not be exported to them.
Source version and practical checks
This guide uses the separately published adopted 1096 amendment, which is listed in the current comparative table, alongside the city’s later-publication ledger. The online appendix is not used as a substitute for that amendment’s text. Verify actual city limits, residential zoning, the required yard boundaries and any written exception before relying on a storage arrangement.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Maize city staff to confirm city limits, vehicle classification, parcel zoning, approvals and later amendments. An unknown result is not permission.
Use the Maize parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
