Pine Lawn RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Front-yard RV parking needs an improved hard surface; driveway/improved coverage cannot exceed 67% of the front yard. |
| yard | Corner-lot side and rear yards also require improved surfaces; heavy licensed trailers face a separate yard prohibition. |
| street | Trailers licensed over 12,000 pounds face a 1-hour residential-street limit when not actively loading/unloading. |
| loading | The heavy-trailer street clause excepts active loading/unloading; other street rules still apply. |
| guest | These parking-surface rules do not establish permission for sleeping or residence. |
| hookups | No utility-connection permission is established by the reviewed parking provisions. |
The surface rule expressly includes RVs
Section 355.120 defines vehicles to include motor houses, recreational vehicles, campers, trailers and fifth-wheel trailers. Its residential surface rule applies to single-family, duplex and townhouse lots; it is not limited to cars.
Front-yard parking needs an improved surface
A front-yard vehicle must be on concrete, asphalt, paving stones or another durable hard material approved by the building official. The code defines a driveway separately, so calling an area a driveway does not make an unimproved surface compliant.
The 67% cap applies to the front yard
Driveways and improved parking surfaces may cover no more than 67% of the residential front yard. Exactly 67% meets this selected numerical ceiling; a larger share does not. Confirm the front-yard boundary and calculation with the City.
Corner lots include side and rear yards
On corner lots, side- and rear-yard vehicle parking also must use an improved surface. The provision does not create a blanket parking entitlement for the side or rear yard of an ordinary non-corner lot.
Heavy trailers have separate restrictions
Section 355.040 addresses commercial vehicles, trucks and trailers licensed above 12,000 pounds. Such trailers cannot remain more than 1 hour on public residential-use-area streets when not loading/unloading, and cannot be parked on any residential yard. Exactly 12,000 pounds is not above this threshold; other rules still apply. RVs with uncertain truck classification need review.
Maintain the surface and separate occupancy
Improved surfaces must remain safe and free from holes, cracks or other failures affecting use, safety, appearance or drainage. These surface provisions do not authorize sleeping, residence, hookups or a campsite; those questions remain unresolved by this source scope.
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.
