There are hundreds of RVs parked by houses here. I'm sure it is allowed.

I wold still check to see. Like I said, all it takes is on neighbor to complain.

Parking Location in the Front and Side Yard Areas
Parking and maneuvering in front yard areas of single-family residential zones for all vehicles, except recreational vehicles, that are regulated by Section 19.580.070 A 4 (Recreational Vehicle Parking in Residential Zones), shall be limited to the space within a carport or garage plus a paved driveway between such garage or carport and the street from which it is served, not exceeding the width of the garage. In addition, the following front and side yard areas may also be paved for the parking and maneuvering of vehicles, subject to the development standards contained in Section 19.580.070 A 3 (Permitted Driveway Locations). Hollywood style driveways that are paved wheel tracks meet the requirements of this Section.

I think I'm good.

You need to know the allowable side yard setback requirements and parking rules for your municipality. You wouldn't be the first one saying "I should be OK" only to find out you're not in compliance and your new parking area is all built for naught. A call to City Hall would straighten it all out.

My initial assumption is that your new parking area won't adhere to the setback requirements but each city is different.

Good luck.
