R1-40 storage locations
Section 405.070(4) permits storage of its listed recreational equipment only inside a building, in a legally defined rear or side yard, or parked in a driveway. The list includes boats, boat trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers or coaches, camping buses or converted trucks, and tent trailers. This guide evaluates only the outdoor R1-40 route; it does not assume every motor vehicle or other district is identical.

Street size and vehicle-class limits
Section 355.110 covers school buses, trailers and stock trucks or trailers, as well as other vehicles longer than 25 feet, with GVWR over 18,000 pounds, or taller than 10 feet. They cannot park on streets or public rights-of-way except while loading or unloading. The checker treats any trailer as a listed class rather than giving a short trailer an automatic exemption. Meeting the size thresholds is not permission to ignore signs, clearances or other parking laws.

Who to contact for your setup

No determination for other residential districts, approved occupancy sites, special permits or parks. Current new-law register reviewed; its park amendments do not establish residential rights.
Use the Platte City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
