Driveway and clearances
Section 625-3.2(A)(1) requires a principal structure and driveway storage, more than three feet from side and rear lot lines and more than six feet from the front lot line. Storage cannot take away required parking spaces under the Residential Site Improvement Standards or obstruct intersection sight triangles.

Length is a separate check
The code has a combined-length schedule tied to stated lot dimensions, plus exceptions for personal vehicles, certain small nonmotorized boats and boats on trailers. Do not substitute lot area alone or assume the RV length is the whole calculation. Ask the Zoning Officer to apply the schedule to the exact lot and stored items; the checker does not calculate this limit.

Storage is not housing
Dwelling use and storage of household or commercial items are prohibited under subsection A(4). A temporary dwelling permit route exists for a motor vehicle or trailer during construction or repair after emergency damage, initially for 90 days with a possible further 90-day permit. Boats cannot use that exception. Utility connections are restricted except for maintenance; this checker does not approve connections.

Flood locations need another review
Sections 333-115.1 through 333-115.3 impose separate flood-area restrictions, including a placement prohibition in coastal high-hazard areas and floodways. The checker excludes flood hazard locations rather than treating the ordinary storage provisions as flood approval.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No positive overall verdict. Exact aggregate-length classification, flood status, nonconforming rights and emergency permits require separate review.
Use the Ocean Gate parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
