Lee's Summit, MO Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

11, Vehicle Parking and Storage Regulations, which governs where recreational vehicles, boats, personal watercraft, all-terrain vehicles, campers and utility trailers can sit on residential property. 1 be on a hard surface only, defined as asphaltic concrete, Portland cement concrete, or masonry pavers engineered to carry the vehicle's weight; an accessory storage or parking pad must be permanently connected to the driveway with the same hard materials, and a separate driveway on a corner lot must be permanently connected to the street or curb the same way.

1, which sets how many of these vehicles a lot can hold depending on driveway configuration: a single drive with no accessory pad cannot store or park any boat, ATV, or RV/trailer at all, while a two-car or three-car drive, or any drive with an accessory pad, can hold one such item, and only a drive with an accessory pad can hold one over 20 feet long. Two exceptions soften the hard-surface mandate: a gravel driveway or parking pad already in place before the ordinance's adoption is grandfathered, and the entire hard-surface and quantity scheme drops away for any parcel of one acre or more.

A further exception lets utility trailers kept outside a garage skip the hard-surface pad rule as long as they're licensed, free of debris, and kept in good repair.
