Upper Moreland Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | A side-yard driveway is excepted from the stated five-foot property-line buffer after consent. After consent, use the rear or side yard, ordinarily at least five feet from property lines; retain required on-lot parking. |
| Street / loading | The private-storage consent does not authorize street parking. No separate short loading permission is established by this private-storage rule. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Storage consent does not establish permission for sleeping or dwelling. Utility connections and occupied use require separate approval; the storage permit alone does not authorize them. |
When annual consent is needed
An RV exceeding 20 feet stored outdoors for more than two weeks needs advance Township Commissioners or Zoning Officer consent. Approved permits last one year and may be renewed annually. Fully enclosed storage is exempt from this consent requirement, not from all other zoning or building rules.
Placement after consent
In residential districts, vehicles after consent may be stored in the side or rear yard, at least five feet from a property line except on a side-yard driveway. Storage may not diminish the required on-lot parking spaces. The Township evaluates safety, light and air, appearance, proximity and intended use when deciding consent.
Short stays are not camping approval
A shorter vehicle or shorter stay does not automatically clear the site. Confirm the applicable accessory use and placement rules. This storage provision does not establish street loading, sleeping or utility permission; obtain the separate zoning, electrical and plumbing approvals needed for the intended activity.
Who to ask about your setup
Ask Upper Moreland Township Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Upper Moreland Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
