Olyphant RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| One transportable, uninhabited RV | Section 1007 permits at most one outdoor RV in transportable condition. It must be uninhabited and owned by the property’s occupants or their authorized visitors. The provision does not approve guest sleeping. |
| Street-facing visibility | An RV in a yard abutting a street must not obstruct the clear-sight triangle or vehicle sight line. Yard labels alone do not resolve this requirement; the site’s actual visibility must be confirmed. |
| Eight-foot height threshold | In an R district an RV eight feet high or taller cannot be stored in the front yard. Side/rear parking of such a vehicle must be accessory to that property and meet the applicable principal-structure side and/or rear setbacks. Vehicles below eight feet still must meet all other applicable rules. |
