What is the front-yard rule?
Section 14-212(a) permits enclosed-garage or carport storage. Open front-yard parking is otherwise unlawful unless the RV or school bus is more than 20 feet from the road right-of-way. The front-yard combination cannot exceed two RVs, two school buses, or one of each.
What about side, rear and vacant lots?
The section also allows rear/side placement beside a dwelling. On a vacant or unimproved residential lot it permits no more than two combined units, at a minimum 20 feet from the road right-of-way. That vacant-lot wording includes exactly 20 feet; the front-yard exception says more than 20 feet.
May an RV have a deck or steps?
No permitted RV may have attachments such as stairs, steps, handrails, porches or decks. The broad RV definition includes boats, personal watercraft, ATVs, trailers and school buses, not only motorhomes.
Does placement authorize camping?
The parking provision does not settle sleeping, utility connections, street parking or a general loading allowance. Check the lot’s zoning and boundaries with Waleska. Do not import a county occupancy rule without confirming it governs inside the city.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Waleska planning or code enforcement to confirm the exact address, zoning, vehicle class, placement and proposed use. Ask the responsible police or facility staff about public parking. Obtain the conditions of any approval in writing. Private covenants, leases, easements and utility approvals are separate.
Use the Waleska parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
