Front storage is limited to the garage driveway
Storage is allowed on residential-zone lots and multifamily-zone lots occupied by a single-family structure. A maximum of two RVs may be stored at a time and required licenses, registrations and inspections must be current. Front-yard or in-front-of-residence storage is prohibited unless in a driveway leading to a garage, without sidewalk or public-right-of-way encroachment. Required single-family parking remains separate.
Other-yard clearance, access and condition
Other-yard storage must be at least five feet from adjoining property lines, avoid sidewalk/ROW encroachment and preserve adjacent traffic visibility. Access uses an existing driveway; an owner remains responsible for damage from crossing curbs or sidewalks. The gross weight must not exceed the public-road limits needed for access. Storage surfaces must comply with property-maintenance standards, and vehicles and covers must be clean, secure and well maintained.
No living or right-of-way storage
An RV stored on residential or commercial property cannot be used for living at any time. Storage in a public right-of-way is prohibited. The living restriction does not turn this residential screen into approval for commercial storage or street parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the municipality’s zoning or code official to confirm the parcel, current law, classification, applicable site standards and any required approval before acting.
