Buckeye's Development Code allows residential outdoor storage of vehicles, boats, trailers, campers, and unoccupied RVs, but only one semi-truck and/or one RV per lot. RVs and semi-trucks must be in a garage or the side or rear yard, screened by a minimum 6-foot block wall or opaque wood fence. RVs may not be lived in.
Buckeye regulates residential RV and boat storage in the Development Code (Chapter 7) under Outdoor Storage (Vehicles), Residential. It allows 'outdoor storage of vehicles, trucks, utility trailers, boats, truck campers, camping trailers, and unoccupied recreational vehicles... as an accessory use in residential zoning districts' subject to several requirements: off-street parking spaces must be provided and paved to the city's surfacing standard; 'only a single semi-trailer truck and/or a single recreational vehicle can be stored on a single residential lot'; 'all semi-trailer trucks and recreational vehicles shall be parked within a garage or in the side, or rear yard'; and 'the truck or recreational vehicle shall be screened by a minimum six-foot high block wall or opaque wood fence.' Recreational vehicles on residentially zoned property 'may not be utilized for living by any person,' and no vehicle of any type may be stored on a vacant parcel of land. The overnight use of travel trailers, motor homes, and RVs for camping or staying overnight within city limits is regulated separately under Buckeye Municipal Code Section 11-1-7 (Picnic, Camping Areas... Urban Camping Prohibited). Boats and utility/camping trailers fall under the same residential outdoor-storage allowance, parked off-street.
Storing more than one RV or semi-truck on a lot, leaving an RV/truck in the front yard or unscreened, living in a parked RV, or storing vehicles on a vacant parcel violates the Development Code and is enforceable as a zoning violation under the city code; overnight RV camping is enforced under Section 11-1-7.
