|---|---|

| Sleeping / utilities | The pickup/delivery exception does not establish sleeping or dwelling permission. |
Streets and alleys are restricted
The city Code Enforcement FAQ answers no to parking a semi-tractor or RV on the street in front of a house. Its restriction covers commercial motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, watercraft and trailers on any city street or alley. Ownership of the adjoining home does not create a routine RV parking exception. Confirm that the location is actually within New Haven, Indiana.
The limited pickup or delivery exception
The FAQ preserves only the time reasonably necessary for a bona fide pickup or delivery. It does not give a fixed number of hours, a camping window or an automatic allowance for every activity called loading. Explain the actual pickup or delivery and remaining work to Code Enforcement before relying on the exception. The checker leaves claimed exceptions for city confirmation instead of converting them into unrestricted parking permission.
Private storage, sleeping and services
This street FAQ does not establish home-storage setbacks, driveway surfaces, enclosed-garage treatment or utility hookups. Moving from the street to a driveway changes the applicable questions. Nor does a permitted pickup or delivery establish guest sleeping or full-time residential use. Ask Planning about the parcel and any applicable city or county permits. Private covenants may also apply; the city explains that HOA enforcement is separate.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the city or township planning and code office about the actual parcel, vehicle class and proposed use. Confirm road restrictions with the road authority and any utility connections separately.
Use the New Haven parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
