One vehicle on a developed residential lot
Section 215-40 permits one recreational vehicle, or a boat and trailer, measuring 35 feet or less on a developed residential lot. The vehicle must be in good working order and behind the front setback line of any required yard. A postal address, an empty parcel or the presence of a driveway does not establish these conditions. Count the covered equipment already on the lot before adding another unit.
Placement is more than driveway space
The same article requires parking areas to comply with applicable district standards. Fire lanes cannot be used for parking or storage; parking access, surfacing and drainage requirements also matter. The checker therefore asks for confirmation of those requirements instead of treating the 35-foot maximum as a complete site approval. A vehicle that fits the numerical limit can still fail its setback or other placement rules.
Loading and sleeping need their own answer
Section 215-40 prohibits other parking, storage or use except in Planning Board-approved designated areas on nonresidential land. It does not provide a residential guest-sleeping or utility-hookup exception. The ordinary residential checker treats sleeping or residence as outside the permitted parking/storage use. Loading is not given a separate time window by this section; street loading, nonresidential sites and utility connections require their own review.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address, vehicle class and activity with the municipal code or police office before relying on a permit or exception. Private restrictions and other applicable laws remain in force.
Use the Stony Point parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
