Where can I store major recreational equipment?
Section 27-2204 includes boats and trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers/coaches, motorized dwellings, tent trailers and similar equipment. At an approved lot, it identifies a carport, completely enclosed building, side/rear position at least five feet from a property line, or qualifying front-yard driveway. It also identifies a nonresidential lot previously approved for storing such equipment.
Can an RV sit in the front driveway?
Yes under the stated location route, if the driveway is paved or modified/crushed stone and the equipment does not create ingress/egress sight-line or safety problems for adjacent driveways, as determined by Police or the Zoning Officer. No more than two major recreational equipment items may be outside on a parcel; additional items must be in a completely enclosed structure.
Which residential properties qualify?
The accessory-use paragraph identifies single-family detached dwellings and two-family attached dwellings. It does not give every apartment or commercial lot the same entitlement. No living, sleeping or housekeeping use is allowed on a residential lot or a location not approved for that lot.
How long can an RV stay on the street?
Section 27-2204(3) restricts public-street parking/storage to no more than 48 hours in any seven consecutive days in the districts printed as R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, CCRC, CCRC-2 and AOC. The text uses AOC here while nearby provisions use AQC; obtain a district interpretation rather than silently replacing it. This time cap does not override road-specific prohibitions or grant 48 hours everywhere.
What changed in September 2026?
Ordinance 787, adopted September 3, 2026, adds Park Heights Avenue and Rogers Road to §15-405, which excludes vehicles other than qualifying passenger cars. The ordinance states the entire length of both streets and also gives “From: St Davids Avenue / To: Sinkler Road.” Confirm the exact affected segment with Police. Motorhomes and passenger cars towing trailers are excluded from the passenger-car exception. The older code table still says Reserved.
What should I ask before parking?
Give zoning staff the parcel address, vehicle type, parking position, intended use and duration. Ask about legal yard boundaries, easements, impervious coverage, floodplain restrictions and any later ordinance. Sleeping, utility installation and repair work need their own answers. A storage business is not automatically an overnight campground. Private covenants and leases can be stricter.
