Solon Township (Kent County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Required setbacks and the sale exception | Ordinary outdoor RV parking/storage may not occupy required front, rear or side setbacks. Section 3.19(A) has a narrow exception for display solely for sale in the required front setback for no more than 30 consecutive days. This does not extend to another required yard, and the checker does not approve that exception as complete permission. |
| An inhabited dwelling on the same parcel | Section 3.19(B) limits storage and parking to a lot or parcel with an inhabited dwelling. A nearby home, vacant building or mailing address does not establish that condition. |
| No paid leased storage space | The same subsection prohibits leasing space for RV parking or storage for compensation in a residential district. This is different from displaying a vehicle for sale under the front-yard exception. |
| Corner-lot street sides | On street sides of a corner lot, the vehicle must not project beyond the side of the principal or accessory building. Confirm the specific layout rather than treating every driveway as a safe location. |
Confirm Solon Township in Kent County
This guide is for Solon Township, Kent County, Michigan, not another Solon jurisdiction. Selected section 3.19 applies to outdoor RV storage or parking in residential districts. Confirm current zoning, actual parcel boundaries and any special approval.
Required setbacks and the sale exception
Ordinary outdoor RV parking/storage may not occupy required front, rear or side setbacks. Section 3.19(A) has a narrow exception for display solely for sale in the required front setback for no more than 30 consecutive days. This does not extend to another required yard, and the checker does not approve that exception as complete permission.
An inhabited dwelling on the same parcel
Section 3.19(B) limits storage and parking to a lot or parcel with an inhabited dwelling. A nearby home, vacant building or mailing address does not establish that condition.
No paid leased storage space
The same subsection prohibits leasing space for RV parking or storage for compensation in a residential district. This is different from displaying a vehicle for sale under the front-yard exception.
Corner-lot street sides
On street sides of a corner lot, the vehicle must not project beyond the side of the principal or accessory building. Confirm the specific layout rather than treating every driveway as a safe location.
Unoccupied equipment and utilities
Sleeping-capable vehicles or equipment must remain unoccupied and not connect to sanitary sewer or have fixed electricity, water or gas connections. Section 3.19(C) separately describes limited living/housekeeping for up to 14 days in any six-month period without using running water or indoor sewage facilities. That occupancy exception is not modeled here, and generic utilities checkbox settings do not establish a fixed connection.
Current sources and draft proposals
The official current index links the September 14, 2026 zoning compilation and separately labels data-center and rezoning proposals as drafts. The posted October 12 board minutes are explicitly draft minutes: they record both listed rezonings being tabled, not adopted. The indexed October 28 hearing concerns section 9.03 landscaping and snowplowing special uses in the NC district, not an adopted RV amendment. This bounded review identified no replacement of selected section 3.19; it does not establish an exhaustive subsequent enactment history or override current parcel-specific decisions.
