RV parking rules in North Fayette Township

North Fayette Township RV parking at a glance

Can I sleep or work on an RV at a storage facility?

Section 27-699.17 expressly includes recreational vehicles in outdoor storage-yard rules. Storage yards may not be occupied or used for living or sleeping, and stored items may not be serviced or repaired there. Vehicle sales, retail sales and other commercial or industrial activities are also excluded. A rented storage space is not an overnight campsite.

What condition must the stored RV be in?

Vehicles in designated storage areas must be operable and have current registration and/or inspection as required. Repossessed, disabled, wrecked, unlicensed or partially dismantled vehicles are prohibited. Ask the facility about admission before bringing an RV that cannot run, is damaged, or has expired documents.

What should I ask the storage operator?

The ordinance treats a storage yard as a conditional use requiring an application narrative and site plan. Ask whether the intended space is within the approved storage area, outside required setbacks, and covered by the facility’s approval. The yard must be at least 50 feet from property bearing a residential dwelling. Paving is the default; the outdoor-storage gravel alternative requires at least three inches, dust-free maintenance and full-depth vertical concrete curbing, and still counts as impervious for stormwater.

Does an accessory storage yard have different conditions?

Accessory storage yards must be in the rear yard, at least 50 feet from residential zoning, cannot consume required principal-use parking or obstruct circulation, and cannot exceed 50% of the principal building’s area. Both accessory and principal yards require applicable industrial-use bufferyards and a six-foot minimum opaque fence or vegetated hedge facing the public road. Principal storage yards are not permitted in a planned nonresidential development. These are facility conditions, not permission to create an RV storage yard at a residence.

What remains outside this guide?

Ordinary home-driveway, street, loading and camping rules are unresolved here. The publisher edition is through October 8, 2024; later Ordinances 535 (June 17, 2025) and 551 (August 18, 2026) change zoning and parking provisions but do not replace the quoted storage-yard subsection. Surface, driveway and parcel approvals must be read with those later changes. This guide makes no complete facility-approval determination.

What should I confirm before parking?

Confirm the parcel and legal yard boundaries with municipal zoning staff. Ask whether the proposed surface, setbacks, access, drainage and required parking spaces comply, and whether later ordinances apply. For a street or public lot, ask Police about posted restrictions and the intended activity. Owner permission, private covenants and utility approvals remain separate. An unoccupied storage rule does not approve sleeping, repairs or utility connections.

Who to contact for your setup

Contact North Fayette Township zoning staff about the parcel, vehicle classification and intended use. Contact local Police for street restrictions and loading. Do not rely on a postal city name alone.
