Start with zoning and vehicle classification
Section 11.909 contains a broad residential restriction for heavy commercial vehicles and RVs, followed by special RV and boat conditions. Confirm the residential district, platted lot, vehicle classification and any specific approval with the Zoning Administrator rather than treating the conditions as a universal allowance.
Use a paved surface for outside placement
Section 11.909(b)(3)(c) addresses motor vehicles, towed trailers, RVs, boats and recreational equipment in the front, rear or side yard of a platted lot. It requires a paved surface. Other driveway, connectivity and impervious-area conditions may also matter; this checker does not approve the design of a parking pad.
Keep two feet from the lot lines
The special RV conditions require at least two feet from the front property line and side and rear lot lines. Measure to property boundaries, not simply to the street curb. Exactly two feet meets only this selected numerical minimum; other yard and setback requirements still apply.
Keep sidewalks and rights-of-way clear
No part of the vehicle may overhang a sidewalk or public right-of-way. Allow for projecting equipment as well as wheels and bodywork. The text also says to locate vehicles outside front and street-side yard setbacks if feasible; that feasibility issue is not decided automatically.
Guest parking is not automatic sleeping permission
The guest clause describes temporary parking by non-paying guests for a maximum of three consecutive days or fourteen total days in a calendar year, and prohibits cooking at all times. It does not expressly establish blanket sleeping or residence permission. Have the City resolve the exact guest arrangement and application of both time limits.
Utilities and maintenance have their own conditions
The chapter restricts utility connections beyond thirty consecutive days and also addresses cleanliness, LPG safety and storage of unrelated goods. A shorter connection is not automatically approved. This checker routes utility plans and occupied stays to separate review.
Source edition and limits
The current City-hosted Article 9 incorporates Ordinance 25-20 of September 9, 2025. The adopted minutes reproduce its paving and special RV conditions. Later City-linked meeting agendas were screened through October 13, 2026 without identifying a later amendment of these selected provisions. Confirm unposted changes and any property-specific approvals with the Zoning Administrator.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the City through its official website to confirm the property, vehicle, planned activity and any approval conditions.
Use the Waverly parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
