Robinson Township (Allegheny County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Private property | Residential RV storage behind the front building line; other parcel approvals remain separate. |
| Street | No general street or loading permission established. |
| Sleeping / guests | Residential-lot parked/stored RV dwelling use prohibited. |
Where may an RV be stored on a residential lot?
Section 300-69B requires the RV to be behind the front building line of the residential lot. A driveway in front of the house does not satisfy that position merely because it is paved. This is a building-line rule, not a universal numeric distance from the street.
Which vehicles are covered?
The zoning definition covers self-propelled or non-self-propelled structures on wheels or capable of becoming mobile for travel, recreation and vacation, including travel trailers, mobile homes, motor homes, tent trailers, boats and their trailers, horse trailers and campers. The commercial-vehicle enclosed-building rule appears separately; RV classification matters.
Can a parked RV be used as a home?
No on a residential lot under §300-69B. Unoccupied storage and dwelling use are different activities. Guest sleeping, utility connections, repairs, street parking and nonresidential uses are not approved by this placement clause.
What parcel details require current confirmation?
The code edition is through April 1, 2024. Later adopted zoning Ordinances 2-, 3- and 4-2025 and 2-2026 change residential district dimensions or an overlay, not §300-69B. They can still matter to a parcel. The 2026 ordinance’s recital describes a side yard while its operative clause changes the front yard; do not use that text as a new RV setback. Confirm current district, building line, access and site approvals with zoning staff. This is not Robinson Township in Washington County.
What should I confirm before parking?
Confirm the parcel and legal yard boundaries with municipal zoning staff. Ask whether the proposed surface, setbacks, access, drainage and required parking spaces comply, and whether later ordinances apply. For a street or public lot, ask Police about posted restrictions and the intended activity. Owner permission, private covenants and utility approvals remain separate. An unoccupied storage rule does not approve sleeping, repairs or utility connections.
