Ste. Genevieve RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Private driveway ownership does not create an exception to the travel-trailer occupancy restriction. |
| yard | The same placement-for-occupancy rule applies to a private side, rear or front yard. |
| guest | Section 425.040 restricts travel-trailer placement for occupancy to a mobile home park; no short guest-stay allowance is stated there. |
| street | A street position does not create an occupancy exception; traffic restrictions also remain applicable. |
| loading | Unoccupied loading and storage are not resolved by the occupancy-only checker. |
| hookups | Water, sewer and electrical arrangements require separate review and are not authorized by a parking result. |
| uncertainty | The definition reclassifies a travel trailer used for habitation more than ninety days in twelve months as a mobile home. This is not a ninety-day driveway allowance. |
Start with occupancy, not ownership
Section 425.040 makes it unlawful to locate a travel trailer or mobile home for occupancy anywhere within the City except at a mobile home park. Owning a driveway or having permission from the homeowner does not supply a different exception.
The local definition can cover a motorized unit
Section 425.030 describes a vehicle with or without motive power that can travel on public streets and is designed for human habitation. Confirm the actual unit falls within that definition. The checker is not a manufactured-home placement assessment.
Ninety days changes classification, not permission
A vehicle used for human habitation for more than ninety days in a twelve-month period is classified as a mobile home under the chapter. That definition does not authorize ninety days of driveway camping. The placement restriction still has to be considered first.
A park is not automatically an approved stay
The chapter regulates park operation, permits, placement and occupant responsibilities. A park operator’s acceptance and the exact park’s approvals need checking. This checker returns unknown for a proposed park stay rather than inferring approval from the word park.
Unoccupied storage is a separate question
The cited occupancy restriction does not settle all unoccupied parking, storage or loading arrangements. Ask City staff about the exact parcel, zoning, traffic and site requirements. An unknown result is not permission.
A variance must actually exist
Section 425.080 describes a formal variation process involving the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen, not an automatic guest exemption. Any actual modification and its precise conditions require individual review. The checker does not infer authorization from an application.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Ste. Genevieve City staff to confirm the actual address, vehicle classification, zoning and any required approvals. Consult the official code and adopted-law index below.
Use the Ste. Genevieve parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
