Full Breakdown

Zoning Regulations Section 8.C.8.d restricts parking and storage of currently licensed camping trailers, camping vehicles, and boats with trailers on residential lots. A lot may hold no more than one of each type, for a combined maximum of two, each no longer than 36 feet. None may sit within a required front, side, or rear yard setback, and none may extend forward past the front of the house. The rule sits alongside the separate unlicensed-vehicle rule in Section 8.C.8.c, which bars unregistered vehicles and trailers from being stored outside an enclosed building.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the two-unit cap, parking an oversized trailer, storing one in a setback, or letting it project past the house's front line is a zoning violation the Zoning Enforcement Officer can cite and order corrected.
