RA residential restrictions
Section 250-17D(6)(d) excludes ordinary RV parking from street rights-of-way and front-yard setbacks. Residential storage must be screened by an enclosed structure, suitable fencing or dense evergreen planting. Vehicles over one ton load weight are prohibited in residential areas under this RA provision. Load weight is not assumed to mean empty weight or gross vehicle weight.

The general rule still matters
Section 250-88A(4) requires enclosed-structure screening for residential properties of three acres or less, and excludes vehicles over two tons load weight on properties under three acres. RA owners should not treat this general two-ton limit as overriding the stricter RA provision. Approved all-weather surfacing, safe access and required parking also apply.

Current amendment and next steps
Ordinance 1-2026, adopted July 27, 2026, adds data-center definitions, conditional-use standards and employee parking, not a residential RV exception. This check requires confirmed RA scope and the Township meaning of load weight. Sleeping, utility connections, other districts and discretionary approvals are outside the result.

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. No occupancy, agricultural, other-district, delivery, nonconforming or hookup approval.
