Home storage locations
Section 400.460A14 lists private garages, private-home driveways and the side or rear yards of private homes. A separate open front yard is not one of the listed storage locations. This is an accessory residential use, not permission to operate a storage business.
Asphalt or concrete
The RV-specific clause requires asphalt or concrete parking areas. Grass and gravel do not meet that listed surface requirement. A surface that is acceptable for some other use is not automatically acceptable for RV storage.
Leave required spaces available
Do not let the stored equipment extend onto public property or block a sidewalk. Required off-street parking spaces must remain available rather than becoming RV or equipment storage. Measure the full vehicle and equipment, including any projecting parts.
Check the parking layout
Section 400.500 retains off-street parking standards. In R-3 and less intensive districts, required setbacks generally cannot contain off-street parking except customary driveways. Single-family and duplex driveway width and minimum parking layout standards also apply. Confirm the zoning and layout rather than treating every paved side yard as approved.
Sleeping is a separate question
The code prohibits RV living or sleeping on the premises for more than 14 days in a calendar year. Count earlier stays in the same year. Staying below that ceiling does not by itself authorize a residence, campsite or utility connections.
Before parking on a street
The private-home storage clause is not a street-parking permit. Check the exact street, signs, right-of-way and traffic rules separately. This checker leaves street parking unresolved rather than inventing an overnight allowance.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Riverside Community Development to confirm the address, zoning, required parking spaces and approved driveway or yard layout before relying on a storage location. Use the official code sources below when describing the proposed arrangement.
Use the Riverside parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
