Staff to draft updates to Coventry's RV and vehicle-storage rules after contested variance

Sep 3, 2026

Board members and staff said the town will pursue zoning-code clean-up (including RV height and rear-storage language) after approving a conditional variance for an oversized RV; staff expects to prepare amendments for council consideration around the turn of the year.

During discussion of the Gilman RV variance the planning staff and board members noted that the town's 10-foot maximum for RV height appears outdated and that the phrase "stored in the rear yard where possible" creates subjective interpretations. Staff told the board it plans to prepare a set of zoning amendments and code clean-ups to modernize vehicle-storage language and to bring those changes to the council near the turn of the year.
