Can I park an RV in a Susquehanna front yard?
Section 27-2109(1) regulates unenclosed storage in residential districts. Its sentence names boats, campers, recreational vehicles, trailers and trucks with more than two axles, except personal pickup trucks, in the front-yard prohibition. Because the axle phrase follows the list, obtain the Zoning Officer’s interpretation for your specific vehicle instead of assuming a two-axle RV is exempt.
A general driveway parking allowance elsewhere does not automatically override this specific vehicle-storage provision. Confirm the legal front yard, including a front driveway.
What about a side or rear yard?
The same subsection requires vehicles stored in the side or rear yard to be at least five feet from the property line. Meeting that distance does not establish all required setbacks, screening, surface or other zoning compliance.
Can I keep an RV at an apartment or multifamily development?
The subsection says no such vehicle may be parked in a multiple-family residential development unless a remote screened storage area is provided for that purpose. A vacant ordinary parking stall is not automatically that area. Confirm the approved site plan and owner restrictions.
Does storage permission authorize guest sleeping or street parking?
No such authorization is established by the unenclosed-storage rule. Street signs and traffic rules, occupancy, utilities and sewage disposal require separate determinations. Part 21 separately governs waste disposal; do not discharge waste onto the lot or into a watercourse.
