Wright City RV parking at a glance

Where outdoor RV parking belongs
Section 405.110 allows parking and storage on private residential property only with its listed conditions. Outdoor RVs and utility trailers must be behind the residence or beside it on a paved surface adjacent and parallel to the residence wall and driveway.
Check size and total count
The residential limit is two utility trailers and/or recreational vehicles per single-family residence. Each is limited to thirty feet long, including any tongue, and eight feet six inches wide. Measure the whole vehicle, not only its living compartment.
Surface and footprint matter
The specified side-position paving must be at least as wide and long as the vehicle. General parking-area rules require Portland or asphaltic concrete, with approval required for permeable pavement. Defined existing residential gravel driveways and driveways connected directly to private gravel roads have exceptions; these are not blanket permission for grass or an unapproved new pad.
No occupancy or utility connections
Residential parked or stored camping and recreational equipment cannot be occupied or used for living, sleeping or housekeeping. Utility connections are prohibited. The RV must not create a dangerous or unsafe condition.
Outdoor equipment must remain functional
Derelict equipment or equipment no longer capable of its intended function may not be stored outdoors in an inoperative or unregistered condition. Confirm both condition and registration before relying on the outdoor route.
Public stops have a twelve-hour ceiling
Camping and recreational equipment generally cannot park on a street, alley, highway or other public place. An emergency or temporary stop may last no longer than twelve hours. That ceiling does not override other street restrictions.
Check the separate overnight motor-vehicle rule
The code also limits residential-zone overnight motor-vehicle parking to passenger vehicles with specified exceptions. Overnight means more than four hours between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. This is not expressly limited to public streets. Ask the City how that provision applies to a motorhome kept at home; the checker does not assume the recreational-equipment clause overrides it. The street result also remains unresolved within twelve hours.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Wright City planning or code enforcement to confirm the exact address, proposed use and any additional site-specific restrictions. Refer to the sections linked below.
Use the Wright City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
