What is the usual residential storage position?

For the covered residential-lot provision, no more than one RV over eight feet high, plus no more than one boat/trailer combination over eight feet high, may be parked on a lot containing a principal single-family dwelling. The text then requires “such recreational vehicle” behind the rear building line and at least five feet from any property line, or in an enclosed garage. Ask the town how that reference applies to a shorter vehicle instead of assuming it is unrestricted.

What is the visiting-vehicle exception?

An RV belonging to visiting guests rather than the property owner may be forward of the front building line for up to 14 consecutive days, at most three parking events per calendar year. It must not impair motorists’ vision. This exception is for parking, not accommodation.

Does a large lot change the rule?

Subsection B excludes lots over five acres in R-1, R-2 and R-3. Both acreage and district must qualify. For multifamily developments, designated RV/boat parking areas must remain outside required setbacks, buffers and landscaped areas.

May anyone sleep in it?

Section 10.12(A) prohibits RV living, sleeping and housekeeping except in a camping/RV park or an approved space in a manufactured-home park. Neither the visiting-vehicle allowance nor storage approval authorizes residential hookups or guest accommodation.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask McAdenville Planning or Zoning staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle class, exact parking position, duration, intended use and any later ordinance or special approval. Ask the local traffic authority about a public street. HOA rules, leases, easements and utility approvals remain separate.

Use the McAdenville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
