San Juan RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The occupancy chapter does not establish a driveway-storage permission. Unoccupied storage needs separate zoning and site review. |
| Street / loading | No public-street RV parking allowance is established by these provisions. No independent timed loading exception is established here. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Ordinary off-park use or occupancy is prohibited; approved park/subdivision rules remain separate. Water, sewer and electrical connections require placement in a duly licensed travel-trailer or RV park. |
Ordinary residential use
Sections 3.04.002 and 3.04.003 restrict residential RV occupancy and rental. The latter recognizes only express exceptions elsewhere in the regulations. Do not treat a driveway, private-owner consent or a short rental as a residential-use approval.
Approved locations and utilities
Section 3.04.006 limits recreational vehicle or travel-trailer use and occupancy to a city-approved travel-trailer park or subdivision meeting the regulations. Section 3.04.003 separately limits water, sewer and electrical service connections to a duly licensed travel-trailer or recreational-vehicle park. Subdivision approval and park licensing are not interchangeable for utilities.
Storage and loading remain separate
These provisions address use, occupancy and services rather than giving complete unoccupied parking dimensions or loading periods. Confirm zoning, setbacks, surface and street restrictions for an unused RV. Special approvals, approved parks and subdivisions require their own current review; the checker leaves those routes unresolved instead of approving them by analogy.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask San Juan 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 San Juan parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
