Riverton RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Private storage is outside these street provisions. Confirm parcel setbacks, surfaces and other zoning conditions before outdoor storage. |
| Street / loading | Nighttime size restriction on paved streets under 45 ft; separate residential 10,000-lb restriction. Marked loading zone: necessary loading only, passengers up to 3 minutes; freight up to 30 minutes. |
| Sleeping / utilities | RV weight exception is not permission to sleep. Confirm utility connections separately; parking permission is not a hookup permit. |
Length, width and street width
Between sundown and sunup, §10.16.110(B) restricts vehicles at least 20 feet long and described as eight feet wide on paved streets narrower than 45 feet. Because the wording does not explicitly say “at least” for width, confirm wider-vehicle cases rather than treating them as exempt.
Weight and vehicle class
In R-1, R-2, R-2A, R-3 and R-4, the nighttime 10,000-pound vehicle restriction excepts an RV as locally defined: a self-propelled living/sleeping vehicle. A towed house trailer is separately defined. The RV weight exception does not cancel the narrow-street size clause.
Curb position and loading
Ordinary parking is parallel, right wheels within 18 inches of the back of curb, with no vehicle between curb and property line. Marked loading zones allow only necessary loading, capped at three minutes for passengers or 30 for freight. Private storage, sleeping and connections need separate rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Riverton Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Riverton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
