Temporary street loading
Section 12.08.037(c) allows an RV to park on a public street for up to 96 hours for listed purposes: loading or unloading the vehicle or passengers, preparing for use or storage, specified maintenance/preparation, travel-incidental activities or hosting property visitors. This checker evaluates only loading/unloading. It does not resolve the separate general ban on roadway washing or repairs by treating all maintenance as allowed. Remaining at one street location more than 96 hours creates a presumption of prohibited storage; no reset by moving is inferred.
Storage and street clearances
Ordinary street RV storage, display, repair or waiting for repairs is prohibited under 12.08.037(b). The temporary exception is purpose-specific, not a general 96-hour storage right. Sections 12.08.031 and 12.08.036 require at least ten feet of roadway for traffic and prohibit sidewalks, blocked driveways, intersections, crosswalks, double parking and other obstruction. Keep at least fifteen feet from hydrants and ten feet from intersection crosswalks. Posted school, hazardous-area and other traffic restrictions still apply.
Residence requires the specified park setting
Section 3.05.036(b) prohibits using RVs as temporary or permanent residences anywhere in the city except approved permitted RV parks or manufactured-home parks. Hosting visitors in the street-parking exception therefore does not independently authorize living in the RV. This packet does not approve private-yard storage or a park operation. Adopted Ordinance O-565-10126 adds structure setback and corner-visibility standards; it does not amend the cited RV street or residence provisions and does not supply an RV storage permit.
