River Grove RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Complete screening at least six feet; driveway maximum 48 hours. |
| Public parking or loading | More than 48 hours prohibited; shorter public stays unresolved. |
| Occupancy | Living, sleeping and housekeeping prohibited. |
Screening in every district
Section 6-12-12 includes trailers, campers, motorhomes, boats and recreational-equipment trailers. Outdoor parking/storage requires complete screening by solid wood fence, masonry wall or slatted chain-link fence at least six feet high. Enclosed permanent buildings are another route; temporary tents do not qualify.
Driveway and right-of-way duration
An RV or licensed recreational-equipment trailer cannot remain in a public right-of-way or residential driveway beyond 48 hours. Being below that threshold does not waive screening, traffic or other restrictions. This checker declines public parking approval.
Occupancy and dealership exception
Living, sleeping and housekeeping in RVs are prohibited in every zoning district. Approved outdoor dealership sales/display areas are excluded from this section, but that exclusion is not residential permission.
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 dealership, enclosed storage, public parking, utility or permit approval.
Use the River Grove parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
