|---|---|
| Storage | Unoccupied motorhomes/camping trailers may use side/rear yards; front-yard cap 48 hours. |

Unoccupied side and rear yards
Section 1180.10c permits unoccupied motorhomes and camping trailers in side and rear yards in residential districts. Boats and noncommercial utility trailers are also listed. This express unoccupied condition is not an occupancy license. Commercial trailers, mobile-home installations and other uses need their own provisions.
Front yards and residential streets
Section 1180.10b prohibits commercial vehicles, motorhomes and all trailers on residential streets or in residential front yards for more than 48 hours. The cap is an additional limitation, not an exemption from signs, obstruction, setbacks or other requirements. Section 1180.10a separately applies a 48-hour cap to mobile-home units outside parks or sales areas; this guide does not treat mobile homes as motorhomes.
Nighttime public-way restriction
Section 351.10 prohibits trailers, semitrailers, pole trailers, buses, school buses, commercial and agricultural tractors and trucks or vans above three-quarter-ton capacity on residential public ways from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise. The 48-hour zoning cap cannot override this shorter nighttime ban. Uncertain motorhome classification is referred for review, rather than assumed exempt.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No mobile-home, commercial-storage, classification, hookup or special approval.
Use the Celina parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
