Where may an RV be stored in Monroeville?
Section 359-107(B) identifies a garage or rear yard. A legal rear yard is not simply an area behind a fence or a driveway that continues beside a house. Confirm the legal yard lines and the approved garage or storage location for the actual lot. Other development and access standards remain applicable.
What screening does the rear yard require?
A rear-yard RV must be fully screened from adjacent residential properties using a privacy fence or evergreen vegetation. Seasonal leaf cover or a partially opaque screen is not automatically full screening. The wording concerns adjacent residential properties; obtain a site-specific answer about the boundary and screening arrangement.
Can it stay in a front driveway, side yard or public street?
Subsection (C) says recreational vehicles shall not be stored or parked on a public street or in the front or side yard of a lot. A paved front driveway does not, by itself, create an exception. This review found no general number of loading hours that waives that paragraph.
Does the rule also cover trailers, boats and campers?
The section expressly includes recreational vehicles, campers, trailers, motorhomes, all-terrain vehicles, quads, boats, boat trailers and watercraft, snowmobiles and motorcycles. Do not borrow a passenger-car parking answer for the listed equipment. An unusual commercial use or issued variance needs its own review.
May the stored RV become living accommodation?
Subsection (A) prohibits an RV from being erected, used or maintained for living or residential purposes. A garage or screened rear-yard result is an unoccupied-storage answer. A proposed one-off guest sleeping arrangement or utility connection should receive a separate current interpretation; the storage route does not clear it.
Does rear-yard screening settle every permit and site condition?
No. The reviewed section identifies the RV location and screening route, not every zoning, garage, surface, access or property condition. Confirm applicable setbacks, legal access and any issued approvals with the Municipality before establishing a new space. A claimed exception remains unresolved until its scope is reviewed.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the governing municipality about the exact address, equipment, legal yard, proposed activity and current code. Bring measurements, prior-use dates and any issued approval; retain the written answer.
