Boats, travel trailers, pickup coaches and recreational vehicles may park in a Florissant driveway only on an approved paved or permitted-gravel surface under Section 365.090, and an RV may sit on the public street for just twenty-four hours at a time with a police-issued windshield permit.
Any automobile, motorcycle, commercial vehicle which is not licensed in excess of twelve thousand (12,000) pounds, van or pickup truck, boat, travel trailer, pickup coach or recreational vehicle may be parked at any time in a driveway having a parking surface composed of concrete, asphalt or pavement bricks or on a non-conforming gravel driveway as permitted under Chapter 405 of this Code (Section 405.225) or may be parked adjacent to a driveway on a surface composed of concrete, asphalt, pavement bricks or grass pavers. ... Any recreational vehicle may be parked on the public street, where not otherwise prohibited by any other ordinance of the City, for a twenty-four (24) hour period, so long as a permit, which shall be issued on a form to be obtained from the Police Department indicating the twenty-four (24) hour period, shall be attached to the windshield or other visible place on such recreational vehicle.

Full Breakdown
Section 365.090(A)(3) allows a boat, travel trailer, pickup coach or recreational vehicle, along with lighter commercial vehicles and pickup trucks, to park in a driveway on concrete, asphalt or pavement bricks, or on a non-conforming gravel driveway permitted under Section 405.225, or adjacent to the driveway on concrete, asphalt, pavement bricks or grass pavers. A parallel provision, (A)(2), lets the same vehicle types park at any time behind the front setback line established under Chapter 405, again on an approved surface. Separately, Section 365.090(A)(5) lets a recreational vehicle sit on the public street for a twenty-four hour period, but only if a permit obtained from the Police Department is attached to the windshield or another visible spot, and only where no other City ordinance already bans parking there. Section 365.090 sets no fine of its own for violating these surface or duration rules, so enforcement runs through the City's general penalty clause.
Violations & Fines
Section 365.090 sets no separate fine, so parking an RV, boat or trailer outside these surface and duration rules is enforced through the City's general penalty, Section 100.080: up to a $1,000 fine, up to three months in the City or County Jail, or both.
