Muhlenberg Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Twenty-foot outdoor storage route | Section 355-113N allows major recreational equipment within a carport or completely enclosed building, in the side or rear of an approved lot at least 20 feet from the property line, or on a previously approved nonresidential storage lot. The checker covers only the ordinary side/rear residential route and uses the closest property line. Building and nonresidential alternatives need their own review. |
| Surface and public streets | Section 326-19 applies vehicle-parking rules to RVs, boats, trailers, campers and coaches. R3, R4 and R5 residential parking uses paved driveways, paved lots or mud- and dust-free paved areas at least five feet from side and rear lines; residential uses in nonresidential districts have similar requirements. R1/R2 locations also carry five-foot side/rear buffers. Front parking generally must use an approved or preexisting nonconforming driveway. More than one unscreened motor vehicle on residential property must use the specified parking areas. The checker conservatively requires an approved paved surface and the RV-specific 20-foot buffer. Section 355-113N prohibits parking or storing major recreational equipment on any township public street. |
| No residential occupancy | Section 355-113O prohibits living, sleeping, housekeeping or similar activity in this equipment on any lot except normal functions of a commercial campground or similar use. Required off-street spaces must remain available under §355-113H. Section 355-112 supplements other land-use restrictions and preserves more restrictive requirements; zoning-officer interpretation and separate building or utility approval remain necessary where applicable. |
