Front driveways and approved side pads have different conditions
Section 9-12-2G requires residential yard parking to use a regularly constructed driveway, beyond the sidewalk and without visual or other hazards. Subsection H expressly permits an RV on a front-yard driveway if it clears sidewalks and creates no hazard. Its side-of-home route requires the owner’s property, no encroachment into a neighbor’s yard, no safety hazard or visual obstruction, a concrete pad approved by the Building Department, an operable vehicle used for its designed purpose, an actual position beside the home and valid registration. A lawn, a proposed pad or a rear-yard location is not treated as an approved side pad by this checker.

The 72-hour residential-street exception requires Police approval
The ordinary rule prohibits the listed RVs and utility trailers on a residential street or parking lot. An RV too large to fit in the driveway or side concrete pad may be parked by a resident property owner or guest on the street in front of that house for loading, unloading or visiting, for no more than 72 hours. There must be no visual or other hazard, and notification to the Police Department and its approval must precede parking. Notification alone is insufficient. This checker does not extend the exception to other streets, a convenient empty lot, a smaller RV that fits on-site, or a different activity. Applicable traffic restrictions and Police conditions remain separate requirements.

Temporary residence is a narrow section exception, not complete approval
Subsection H says this section does not apply to an RV used as a temporary residence in front of or beside the home, still on the homeowner’s property, for no more than 120 hours. That language must not be converted into unconditional camping, utility, sanitation or occupancy approval, and this checker returns an unresolved result for sleeping. Required off-street parking is also preserved by subsections A through E; changes of use or expansion can require a new parking determination. The full current S-13 provision and the original adopted 2023 amendment were reconciled with the official October 2026 surplus-equipment ordinance, which does not change these RV provisions.
