Jurisdiction and research scope
St. Peters, Missouri city limits only. Full current publisher section 365.070 was read October 21, 2026, including general paving, A.4(a)-(f), enclosed-storage and public-vehicle exceptions. The checker keeps ordinary outdoor storage separate from garage and seasonal-preparation routes. It does not assume those exceptions waive all other limits, or certify every later uncodified amendment.

St. Peters RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway storage | Ordinary outdoor storage: one listed item no longer than 22 feet and no wider than eight feet, behind all front building lines on full-footprint paving. |
| Yard storage | Ordinary front-yard projection is restricted. Enclosed garage and seasonal-preparation routes require separate review. |
| Street parking | Only active loading or unloading, at most four aggregate hours in any 24-hour period, with emergency access clear. |
| Guest sleeping | Fixed connections and living or housekeeping are prohibited. Preparation-related utility provisions do not establish guest accommodation. |
What are the ordinary outdoor size and count limits?
Section 365.070(A)(4)(a) allows no more than one listed recreational equipment, vehicle or trailer item on a residential lot. The ordinary maximum is 22 feet long and eight feet wide, including those exact dimensions. Larger equipment or a second item does not fit this ordinary route. Claimed garage or preparation exceptions need their actual terms reviewed.
Can I keep the RV ahead of the house?
The ordinary rule places equipment behind all front building lines and prohibits extending past the front of the house into a front yard. A fence or paved front driveway does not override that condition. A corner lot can have more than one front building line; identify the entire legal footprint before relying on it.
What surface is required?
The whole footprint must stand on a paved area or driveway made of concrete, asphalt, brick, interlocking pavers or similar material approved by the City Engineer or designee. The area must be free of grass and weeds and extend under the equipment’s full length and width. A strip under each tire does not establish the required surface.
How long may I load on the street?
Subsection A.4(e) permits temporary street or adjacent right-of-way parking only during active loading or unloading, for at most four hours in the aggregate in any 24-hour period. Earlier loading stops count. Emergency vehicle access must stay clear. Ordinary parking, storage and passive preparation do not qualify as active loading.
What is the seasonal preparation allowance?
The chapter describes temporary RV or equipment parking on a residential lot for seasonal preparation, totaling no more than 10 days per calendar year. Related utility connections may not exceed two days. A separate trailer or commercial-trailer driveway clause also uses 10 calendar days. This review did not resolve which ordinary location or dimension conditions those clauses displace. Confirm the exact exception rather than treating the clock as a blanket front-yard allowance.
Can people live or sleep in it?
Subsection A.4(f) prohibits fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary-sewer connections and prohibits living or housekeeping use. Preparation-related utility connections do not establish camping permission. The checker does not classify every isolated guest sleep, but an explicit living or housekeeping proposal fails the examined ordinary route.
Does an enclosed garage allow larger equipment?
Subsection B provides a completely enclosed garage route for equipment exceeding the maximum permitted in residential zoning. The Police Chief or designee may still prohibit parking that disrupts neighborhood character through noise, fumes, traffic or other safety hazards. This form does not approve a particular garage or establish all its building and use requirements.
