Can I keep an RV on my Medina driveway?
Section 1155.08(a) generally places the listed living-quarter vehicles, camping trailers, truck campers, boats and boat trailers on a hard-surfaced side or rear pad behind the front building line. Its seasonal driveway exception runs April 1 through October 31. A driveway is not the year-round default.
What conditions apply to home storage?
Only two listed vehicles in any combination may be on a residential lot at once. Each must be operable with valid plates and registration. Trailer wheels or similar transport devices must remain except during service, and a trailer cannot be permanently fixed to the ground. Restrictive covenants may be stricter.
Can someone sleep in the RV or connect utilities?
Section 1155.08(d) bars human habitation and business in a vehicle parked or stored on the residential lot. Sewer, electric and water connections are barred except when servicing the vehicle or preparing it for travel. Those exceptions do not allow camping.
What about a heavier trailer or street parking?
Section 1155.09 separately restricts commercial vehicles, buses, trailers or trucks of any type over 7,000 pounds gross vehicle weight on residential driveways or yards. It names emergency, delivery, loading and police towing-policy exceptions, with a 14,000-pound ceiling and no-yard condition on the approved vehicle. Ask zoning staff how it applies alongside §1155.08 to your exact RV. Neither seasonal driveway parking nor the loading exception authorizes street parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact parcel or facility, current approvals and later ordinances with the city. Street signs, temporary restrictions, private covenants and lease rules can impose additional limits.
Use the Medina City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
