| Special sites | Marinas, CB and flood/overlay sites excluded. |
Residential eligibility and one-RV limit
Section 6.G.1 requires a dwelling as the primary lot use outside the Commercial Boating district. Storage is limited to one RV at the residence of its owner or occupant. Human habitation in that RV is prohibited. The commercial-marina provisions are a separate regime and do not create an exception for a homeowner.
Side/rear location and screening
Outside the CB district, storage must be in a side or rear yard. If it is within the minimum yard setback, screening from the street and adjacent properties must satisfy the Zoning Official. Front-yard storage is not an alternative merely because it is on a driveway.
Length caps and the longer-RV rule
The maximum length is 34 feet in LDR, 26 feet in MDR and 20 feet in HDR, CTC and CBD; RR has no length cap under this provision. Any RV longer than 16 feet is subject to a ten-foot clearance stated as being from a side or rear yard. Confirm the measurement reference and compliance with the Zoning Official. The checker neither changes that wording to property line nor assumes an exemption at an uncertain boundary.
Scope and concurrent controls
Section 6.G.2 regulates commercial marinas separately, including seasonal habitation and its own site conditions. Floodplain rules in Section 4.C also have independent RV requirements. Those locations, utility installations and special approvals are excluded from this residential-storage screen. A conditional result only reports the inputs against Section 6.G.1.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact location and proposal with the local zoning or traffic authority. Administrative screening only. Official regulations are amended to May 8, 2026 and linked by the current town zoning page. The over-16-foot rule literally refers to ten feet from a side or rear yard; its measurement reference must be confirmed by the Zoning Official, not silently rewritten as a lot line. No marina, floodplain, hookup or permit approval.
Use the Westbrook parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
