RV street parking is limited to expeditious loading
Section 9-11-3 prohibits parking any RV or trailer on a Shelley city street or its right-of-way unless necessary to load or unload expeditiously. The personal-use RV exemption from the separate 10000-pound street-travel limit does not exempt an RV from this parking rule. The general 48-hour parking provision cannot be used as a 48-hour RV storage permission.
Alleys require loading and ten feet clear on each side
Chapter 9-4 permits motor-vehicle alley parking only while expeditiously loading or unloading and only with at least 10 feet of clearance between the vehicle and adjacent buildings or structures on each side. Parking on a street or alley for 48 or more consecutive hours in the same location is separately prohibited. This ceiling does not define what counts as expeditious loading.
Snow proclamations and other location restrictions can stop loading
When a snow-removal proclamation is effective, Chapter 9-9 prohibits vehicles and equipment, including RVs, from remaining parked on city streets. The proclamation states its effective date and time and may add restrictions. Other stricter parking rules remain controlling. Signs, sidewalks, driveways, intersections, hydrants and other prohibited locations still need checking, and ordinary curb parking must meet the 18-inch placement rule.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the actual boundary, site conditions, permit dates and current requirements with the relevant municipal official before acting. Administrative screening of the cited local provisions only. Not a permit, legal opinion, safety assurance or complete land-use approval.
Use the Shelley parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
