Valley Park RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Residential RV storage needs a compliant designated parking area; this checker does not certify every storage condition. |
| yard | Grass or unpaved parking is prohibited; ordinary RV/trailer storage cannot be ahead of the controlling building/front line. |
| guest | RVs, motorhomes, travel trailers and campers stored on residential property may not be occupied or used as a residence. |
| street | RV and trailer parking in the right-of-way is prohibited unless necessary to provide emergency service. |
| loading | No ordinary RV loading exemption to the right-of-way restriction is established. |
| hookups | Residential stored vehicles may have only utility connections required for vehicle maintenance. |
| uncertainty | The October 19, 2026 zoning replacement and detailed vehicle/site conditions require review before any affirmative storage conclusion. |
Confirm residential scope
Section 355.110 defines residential property to include land zoned non-urban or residential, and land primarily used for residential purposes regardless of zoning. The checker requires this scope to be confirmed.
Guest occupancy is not a storage use
Section 355.110(C)(2)(g) says the listed RVs, motorhomes, travel trailers and campers must not be occupied or used as a residence. An ordinary guest sleeping arrangement is not approved by an unoccupied-storage provision.
No routine right-of-way parking
Section 355.110(B)(4)(g) prohibits RV, trailer and boat parking in the right-of-way unless necessary to provide emergency service. A claimed emergency-service arrangement is left for separate confirmation, not automatically approved.
Grass and front positions are restricted
Residential vehicles and trailers may not park on grass or unpaved areas. RVs and trailers may not be ahead of the building line or front line of the main structure, whichever is farther from the street; both street sides count on corner lots. Pickup-coach classifications and special approvals require separate review.
Storage has further conditions
The RV subsection specifies one outdoor vehicle in an approved parking area, three-foot side/rear clearance, the greater of ten feet from a street line or the front setback, and limits of 35 feet long and eight feet wide. Registration/licensing must be to a resident listed on an issued residential occupancy permit. Trailer-specific wording and additional zoning rules also apply, so the checker does not turn these measurements alone into permission.
Utility and material storage are limited
The stored vehicles may not hold unrelated recreational materials and may have no utility connections other than those required for vehicle maintenance. These rules are not a live-in hookup allowance.
Use the October 2026 amendments
Ordinance 2191, enacted October 19, 2026, replaces Chapters 405 and 410. Its Section 405.020(4) preserves more restrictive provisions of other local laws; 405.160(C) prohibits temporary dwelling structures. Because full property approval may depend on the new zoning text, this checker makes only the definite Chapter 355 prohibition findings described here.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Valley Park city staff to confirm the address, property use, vehicle classification and any approval. Refer to Section 355.110 and the October 19, 2026 zoning amendment.
Use the Valley Park parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
