Pasadena Hills RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Outdoor driveway storage is not the default: use an enclosed garage, a qualifying loading exception or an actual temporary permit. |
| yard | The ordinary private-property rule requires an enclosed garage; boat and utility-trailer exceptions are not RV exceptions. |
| street | Ordinary RV street parking is prohibited. A qualifying loading exception or actual temporary permit needs separate conditions. |
| loading | Loading or unloading may use a qualifying driveway or adjacent street for at most 24 hours in any 30-day period. |
| guest | A temporary RV permit forbids living or housekeeping. Garage and loading rules do not establish other sleeping permission. |
| hookups | Temporary RV permits prohibit fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary-sewer connections. |
An enclosed garage is the ordinary storage route
Section 390.020(C)(3) requires RVs, recreational equipment and personal utility trailers on private property to be within an enclosed garage, unless a stated exception applies. A carport, cover or screened outdoor pad is not the enclosed garage described in this rule. The checker separates outdoor storage from an entirely enclosed arrangement.
Loading is limited across a 30-day period
The loading exception covers a private driveway or street immediately adjacent to property owned or occupied by the vehicle owner. It is limited to 24 hours in any 30-day period, not a fresh 24 hours every time the vehicle moves. Confirm accumulated loading time and the relationship between the vehicle owner and the adjacent property before relying on it.
Street parking is not generally allowed
Section 390.020(B)(3) prohibits parking or standing RVs or recreational equipment on streets, alleys, thoroughfares and public property. The express loading exception and permit provisions need to be read with that prohibition. A quiet street, valid registration or a short intended stay is not by itself an exemption.
Temporary permits involve an actual decision
Section 390.030(B) allows the Chief of Police to issue a temporary RV permit for no more than 14 days in any six-month period. The Chief considers the vehicle, location, screening, neighborhood, welfare, emergency protection and neighbors. A pending application or an assumed hardship does not substitute for the issued permit; the checker sends claimed permits for individual confirmation.
Permit conditions are not optional
An RV permit requires good repair, no repair work, no fixed electricity, water, gas or sanitary-sewer connections, and no living or housekeeping use. The vehicle must be on pavement without overhanging it and must satisfy any additional conditions imposed by the Chief. A permit to park should never be described as permission to camp.
Do not borrow the boat exception
The chapter has separate outdoor exceptions for boats with associated trailers and for personal utility trailers. Those do not turn a travel trailer or motorhome into an allowed outdoor storage use. Commercial vehicles and repairs also have distinct rules, so the checker requires a confirmed noncommercial recreational classification and leaves other categories unresolved.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle category, applicable rules and any actual permit before relying on an exception. Official code sources are linked below.
