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 overall storage approval. Flood areas and competing district controls require individual review.
Use the Riverdale parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
