Street parking and trailer loading
Section 355.120 prohibits listed RV and trailer parking on City streets, with a narrow allowance for a trailer only for the time reasonably necessary to load or unload its contents. This is not a general RV overnight exception.
Where home storage is listed
Section 400.270A1m lists private garages, private-home driveways, and the side or rear yards of private homes for storage of recreational equipment. An open front yard is not automatically a driveway.
Keep required parking available
Stored equipment must not extend onto public property or block a sidewalk. It also must not be stored within required off-street parking spaces. A driveway being large enough does not prove these conditions are met.
Living or sleeping: count the calendar year
An RV stored on the premises cannot be used for living or sleeping for more than 14 days in a calendar year. Count annual use, not just the current visit. This ceiling does not independently authorize permanent residence or utility connections.
Other accessory requirements remain
Residential accessory uses remain subordinate to the main permitted use and subject to applicable zoning regulations. The checklist evaluates the selected RV-storage conditions, not every property approval or private restriction.
Off-street wording needs context
Section 355.120 refers both to an off-street prohibition and to permissible resident driveways or approved parking spaces. Read this alongside the specific zoning-storage clause; do not treat any unapproved parking area as acceptable.
