Resident storage has one-unit and dimension limits
Section 150-25B allows one resident-owned-and-used boat or covered RV in R-1/R-2, no more than 36 feet overall length and 102 inches wide. It may not be occupied while parked. Enclosed-building placement is the baseline; outdoor storage has further placement rules. Official source.
Outdoor storage must be behind the rear building line
The outdoor unit cannot be in front of the dwelling or infringe the district’s side or rear yards. It must be behind the rear building line and either behind the dwelling or effectively screened from the street, including both streets on a corner lot. The checker does not invent one universal yard setback. Official source.
Guest parking needs a Police permit and stays unoccupied
Section 150-25C permits a resident to host one guest-owned covered unit no longer than 36 feet, for no more than 15 total days in each calendar year, only with a Police Department permit. The unit cannot be resided in or occupied. This exception is for parking, not sleeping. Official source.
Night parking and snow removal are independent restrictions
Section 145-6 prohibits street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., with specified law-enforcement and emergency exceptions. Ordinance 12-26 prohibits parking when snow accumulation covers streets and highways; the prohibition remains until snow has stopped and roads are sufficiently plowed for normal traffic, as determined by Police. The old rule requiring temporary emergency signs is not used. Official source.
Private habitation is prohibited
Chapter 133 covers self-propelled and towable units intended for temporary dwelling or sleeping and prohibits placement while used for habitation on public or private property. Its limited street/highway transit stopping exception is at most two hours, and it preserves unoccupied private-garage parking. Neither exception is a general guest-sleeping approval. Official source.
Other parking restrictions remain applicable
Section 150-26 prohibits keeping an unlicensed motor vehicle for one month or more unless in a completely enclosed garage. Street time limits do not override stricter state law, posted restrictions or school-property rules. The checker returns unresolved results for unclassified, specially authorized or unregistered arrangements. Official source.
