Residential RV parking must be inside a garage
Chapter 203 applies to the BB, B-4, B, A and C Residence Districts. Its RV category includes recreationally designed vehicles and trailers. Parking includes storage and unattended standing beyond reasonably necessary loading or unloading. Section 203-3D prohibits residential RV parking outside an enclosed garage; that garage must satisfy zoning and setbacks.
Temporary habitations also have a one-unit and building limit
Chapter 193 independently prohibits more than one temporary habitation on a parcel in single ownership. A habitation not being used under Board approval must be left, stored and maintained inside an accessory building. For the RVs covered by this guide, the residential garage rule and this accessory-building rule both need to be satisfied.
Sleeping approval and storage exemptions are different
Temporary living or sleeping in trailers, motorhomes, campers and RVs requires approval by the Board of Trustees after a public hearing; the Board may impose protective conditions. Separately, section 203-5 allows the Clerk to issue an exemption certificate for at most 30 days, and the Board may consider additional hardship certificates after a hearing. This screen does not treat a storage certificate as habitation approval or as a waiver of Chapter 193.
