Vacant lots and living quarters
Section 15.01(2) prohibits RV storage on a vacant residential lot. Living-quarters use beyond two weeks requires both Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approval. A shorter stay is not a blanket parking or utility authorization.
Separate emergency route
The emergency-use provision addresses factory-built/mobile homes and has its own permit requirements. It is not automatically an RV exception. The reviewed city-hosted compilation is named Final 2020; the ordinance cover records adoption April 2, 2012. Relevant RV provisions were read, not every code section.
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. Special approvals and emergency arrangements must be reviewed individually. No positive storage or occupancy decisions.
Use the Parkersburg parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
