Jurisdiction and research scope
Village of Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin only, with the outdoor RV route limited to R zoning districts; not another Mount Pleasant or neighboring Racine. Current codified §90-420.110, Ordinance 19-2020 adopted June 8, 2020; read November 6, 2026. Division 90-420 also incorporates 2025–2026 changes to other parking sections.

Length and parcel-area limits
Section 90-420.110 governs R zoning districts. Outside a completely enclosed building, the listed recreational vehicles and equipment must be shorter than 41 feet. Units shorter than 22 feet can be in side or rear yards or a hard-surfaced front driveway, with two such vehicles per 20, 000 square feet of parcel area. Units 22 through 40 feet have a one-per 20, 000-square-foot ratio. Have the Village confirm the count calculation for the actual parcel and mixed equipment; this guide does not invent rounding for undersized lots.
Seasonal front-driveway placement
For units 22 through 40 feet, ordinary placement is in a side or rear yard at least 2 feet from every lot line. From May 1 through September 30 these units may also use a hard-surfaced front driveway. From October 1 through April 30 driveway placement is limited to loading or unloading for no more than 48 hours. They must remain outside public rights-of-way, sight-clearance triangles, drainage easements and utility easements. The text leaves a fractional-length gap above 40 but below 41 feet; ask the Village rather than assuming a route.
Storage is not camping or a street permit
The outdoor storage section is not a grant of street parking, sleeping, dwelling, utility or sewage-disposal permission. Fully enclosed storage and non-R districts require their own applicable requirements. The separate heavy-vehicle subsection has different enclosure and work exceptions; its active-loading language should not be used to erase the recreational-vehicle seasonal 48-hour condition. Keep the vehicle lawful and safe and confirm all applicable parcel requirements before parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Mount Pleasant Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Mount Pleasant parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
