Non-paying guest limits
Section 174.12 applies additional RV and boat conditions in residential districts. Temporary RV housing for non-paying guests has a maximum of three consecutive days and 14 total days in a calendar year. Both limits apply; this is not a permanent-residence or paid-accommodation approval.
Cooking and utility connections
The section prohibits cooking in the recreational vehicle at all times within this residential-rule context. It also prohibits permanent utility-line connections for RVs and boats. A temporary connection is not affirmatively approved by this restriction; separate utility and site requirements remain.
Resident ownership and vehicle count
No more than two recreational vehicles or boats may be parked on a single property at once. Each RV or boat parked there must be owned at least partly by the resident. The non-paying guest housing clause does not waive this ownership condition, so a visiting guest’s independently owned RV is not automatically covered by permission.
Front setbacks and storage
RVs and boats must be outside required front-yard setbacks. The applicable setback depends on the property and zoning requirements; this guide does not invent a universal distance. Storage of goods or equipment unrelated to use of the vehicle is prohibited.
Condition and gas containers
RVs and boats must be clean and well kept. Equipped liquefied petroleum gas containers must meet the standards specified in the code, leaks must be repaired immediately, and valves must be closed unless the vehicle is being prepared for immediate use. Obtain appropriate professional help rather than treating this parking guide as a gas-system inspection.
Scope and current code
These are additional residential conditions, not a substitute for personal-vehicle parking requirements or street rules. The 2026 code was adopted June 15, 2026 by Ordinance 26-01; the official final council recap corroborates adoption. Confirm current parcel zoning, setbacks and later changes with the city.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the address, current zoning and any later ordinance changes with Windsor Heights City Hall using its official code page. A mailing address alone does not establish city jurisdiction.
