Outdoor U-1 storage needs approval

In U-1 districts, the Planning and Zoning Commission can authorize outdoor storage in specific cases with conditions and safeguards. Screening recommendations may be sought. A rear-yard location alone is not that authorization.

Other vehicle rules remain

Outdoor vehicles must use pavement outside the public right-of-way. The section also addresses plates, inoperable vehicles and a 10,000-pound motor-vehicle weight threshold. This checker determines only the ordinary no-authorization outdoor RV-storage restriction.

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. Existing approvals and enclosed storage are held for separate review, not denied.

Use the Orange parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
