Full Breakdown
Johns Creek's zoning code, App. A § 18.5 (Parking for Specialized Vehicles), lets recreational vehicles, campers, buses (including school buses), trailers, mobile home coaches, boats and boat trailers be parked or stored in residential zoning districts, but only if the vehicle is not used as living quarters and the parking or storage area sits within the lot's buildable area rather than in front of the principal structure. Heavy construction equipment like earth movers and tractors gets a separate, stricter rule limiting it to active construction with a building or land-disturbance permit.
