Is there a seven-day RV street rule?
Section 14-12(B) prohibits street and alley storage of motor homes, trailers and towed vehicles. A motor home is deemed stored after more than seven days parked per calendar month. For a trailer or towed vehicle, that test applies while it is parked unattached to a motorized towing vehicle. Exactly seven days does not trigger this particular threshold, but it is not seven days of guaranteed permission. Signs, parking position, access and other restrictions remain separate. Do not assume a short move resets a monthly total.
Can I extend slide-outs at the curb?
Street-parked RVs and travel/camper trailers must not have slide-outs or extensions projecting into the street or sidewalk. Check the entire vehicle footprint before deploying equipment. A space large enough for the closed vehicle may not accommodate an extended unit.
Does current registration matter?
Section 14-12(A), amended by Ordinance 878 effective June 1, 2025, prohibits leaving a partially dismantled, nonoperating, wrecked or junked vehicle, or one without current registration, on a city street, alley or highway. A current registration without the current sticker attached to the plates is also a violation. A vehicle need not exceed the seven-day storage threshold for this separate restriction to matter.
Can I keep an RV in the front yard?
Section 14-13(D) prohibits vehicle, RV and utility-trailer parking/storage in residential front yards except temporary parking during actual moving, loading or unloading. The code also restricts improved parking surfaces directly in front of residences and recognizes certain previously established surfaces. Do not assume every old driveway qualifies for grandfathering. Have the City verify the surface, its history and yard classification before relying on that provision. Published Ordinance 859 also adds §14-13(E): an approval-based exception procedure for claimed decorative lawn art after a violation notice. A label alone is not approval; the City Council decides and may impose conditions. This checker sends claimed exceptions to City review.
What qualifies in a side yard?
Section 14-13(A) requires a garage, authorized storage building or qualifying improved parking surface for side-yard parking/storage. Temporary parking on an unimproved surface is limited to actual moving, loading or unloading. Section 14-13(B) separately prohibits vehicles in disrepair in a side yard. An improved surface uses cement, crushed rock, gravel, asphalt or similar material; it must cover the vehicle footprint, be at least three inches deep and be free of debris, weeds and objectionable material. Location restrictions and special approval for half-moon driveways also apply.
Are back yards unrestricted?
No. Section 14-13(C) limits a residential back yard to two operable vehicles. It separately allows at most one vehicle in disrepair, subject to screening from ordinary public view under §11-20 or placement in a garage or authorized storage building. Confirm the total count, operability, screening and parcel restrictions with the City. The checker deliberately does not decide these more detailed backyard situations.
What about working or business trailers?
Section 14-12 provides exceptions for unattached trailers used at active construction/work sites and traffic-safety trailers. A separate business-trailer route requires an annual City permit and multiple conditions; Ordinance 878 adds identification/display detail and a one-business-trailer limit beside the business owner’s residence. Calling a personal RV a business trailer is not enough. Ask the City to review the exact use and all current permit conditions.
Does parking compliance let me sleep or connect utilities?
No occupancy or utility permission is established by these parking/storage provisions. This guide does not verify a visitor-stay allowance or an ongoing RV-residence route. For sleeping, living, hookups, commercial sites or land outside city limits, obtain the applicable zoning and utility requirements before making plans. Private covenants may add restrictions.
What should I confirm before parking?
Give the City the exact address, vehicle classification, registration/sticker status, occupied use, calendar-month parking history and any claimed exception. For a residential lot, identify the yard, surface dimensions/depth, vehicle condition and existing approvals. The official City site links the codifier used here. Indexed Chapter 14 incorporates the 2025 amendment, but this review does not claim a verified global codification cutoff or complete reconciliation of later uncodified legislation. The indexed code omits the published 859 exception and gives earlier dates; the final City ordinance notice supplies the omitted provision and states May 18, 2021 adoption and June 1, 2021 effect. Confirm current implementation with the City.
