The operative text remains in the publisher’s adopted New Laws list rather than the main Chapter 355 text; use the signed ordinance, not a meeting agenda.

Use the adopted ordinance, not the earlier proposal

Ordinance 2140 was passed and approved on March 14, 2024. Its adopted text adds Sections 355.110 through 355.130 and is still listed by the publisher as uncodified legislation. A 2022 meeting agenda is not the basis for this guide.

Street storage cannot exceed twenty-four hours

The ordinance prohibits parking or storing a defined truck-tractor, trailer or recreational motor vehicle on city streets for a period exceeding twenty-four hours, outside its stated exception. Exactly twenty-four hours meets only this ceiling.

The exception is for materials or merchandise

The text excepts parking for delivering or picking up materials or merchandise. It does not say that every trip-preparation task, visit or overnight stay qualifies. The checker leaves an asserted exception for City review rather than granting blanket permission.

Confirm the exact vehicle class

A recreational motor vehicle must meet the adopted definition involving temporary housing quarters and sleeping/eating facilities. The ordinance also defines recreational trailer, trailer and truck-tractor. Uncertain classification should be resolved with the City rather than treated as an exemption.

Other street rules still apply

Posted restrictions, traffic safety requirements and other ordinances can prohibit a shorter stay. Ordinance 2278 separately restricts using City streets, rights-of-way or adjoining property for construction staging, including construction-trailer placement. Ordinance 2282 requires no-parking signs on specified flag-lot private access drives. The delivery exception does not waive those controls. The checker identifies exceeding the street time ceiling, not construction-site or private-access approval.

Do not extend the rule to home storage or camping

This street-focused ordinance does not itself establish driveway, yard, utility-connection or occupancy approval. Ask for the separate zoning and use requirements before storing an RV on private property or sleeping in it.

Who to contact for your setup
