Full Breakdown
Zoning Code § 59-10400 lets residents park a recreational vehicle, boat-on-trailer, or trailer at home in RA, R-1 through R-4, R-MH-1, and similar residential districts, but only indoors, on a hard-surfaced side or rear yard behind sight-proof screening, or in the front yard if there's no reasonable side/rear access. Front-yard units must sit on a hard surface, perpendicular to the curb, with the body at least 11 feet back from the curb face, and can't block the sidewalk or sight triangle. Trailers, including empty watercraft trailers and detached truck campers, are barred from the front yard outright, and every trailer is barred from parking on a City street, period. Separately, § 59-10450 bars commercial vehicles, trucks, and semi-trailers from parking or being stored anywhere in a residential zoning district except while actively loading or unloading.
Violations & Fines
Code enforcement can cite the property owner for a zoning violation; each day the unit remains improperly parked can count as a separate offense under the Municipal Code's general penalty provisions.
