R-1 and R-2 outdoor size limits
The outdoor route applies to the named R-1 and R-2 districts. An RV, boat or non-commercial trailer must not exceed 20 feet in length or 8 feet 6 inches in height, measured from grade to its tallest point. A larger vehicle is not cleared by adding screening.
Position and surface
Outdoor parking must be behind the building line, at least five feet from a side property line and ten feet from a rear property line, without encroaching on an easement. It must be screened from view from any street and stand on a paved surface such as concrete, brick pavers or asphalt.
Indoor storage and other uses
Appropriately licensed and plated boats, RVs and trailers may be parked in an enclosed building in any zoning district. This does not remove building, safety or other use restrictions. The cited parking section does not authorize sleeping, guest lodging, utilities or street parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Schererville Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm the governing parcel, district, vehicle classification, exact position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions and the building or health official about utilities and occupied use. Private covenants, leases and easements remain separate.
Use the Schererville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
