Media RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Owner/resident storage-only exemption from Chapter 279. |
| Public parking or loading | Nonexempt placement over 72 hours requires license. |
| Occupancy | License is not occupancy approval. |
Storage exemption
Chapter 279 excludes RVs and trailered boats owned by the property owner or a resident when present solely for storage, without use or occupancy. Visiting or occupied RVs do not receive this exemption merely because the host consents.
72-hour license trigger
Other covered trailers kept at one site beyond 72 hours require a Borough Secretary license. The code specifies a $25 fee, property-owner consent for private property, and a statement of use, location and duration.
License duration and limits
Initial authorization lasts for the requested use, at most three months. A necessary renewal can extend total time to six months; further good-cause relief is for Council. Chapter 279 expressly preserves street, health, building and zoning rules, so a license is not camping approval.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Administrative license screening only. Current 2026 ordinance index reviewed; other land-use requirements deliberately remain unresolved.
Use the Media parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
