| Occupancy | Parking provision does not settle sleeping. |
Street and public-right-of-way restriction
Section 6-5-11 prohibits the covered recreational-type vehicles, including camping trucks and trailers, on streets and public rights-of-way. The regularly constructed residential driveway exception is a private-property route; it does not turn the street into a storage area.
Driveway and side/rear placement
Front-yard placement is permitted on a regularly constructed residential driveway. To the rear or side of the principal building, recreational vehicles may use a pad with a proper base approved by the Village zoning official. Confirm the actual approval and footprint; gravel or paving alone is not proof.
Limited loading notice
An owner may use the front yard for loading or unloading for no more than 48 hours after notifying the Mokena Police Department. Notification is an express condition. This limited route is described but not automatically approved by the ordinary-storage checker.
Sleeping remains a separate question
The captured parking section does not establish sleeping, dwelling or utility-connection permission. The current publisher pending-ordinance page contains no listed ordinance text. The full Section 6-5-11 recapture on November 7, 2026 and the pending ledger both carry 2026 S-19. The overview is current through Ordinance 2026-O-034, passed August 24, 2026. The recaptured operative parking text is unchanged from the earlier S-17 capture, so the edition mismatch is resolved.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact proposal with the municipality. This is limited administrative screening, not a permit or complete legal approval. No automatic police-notified loading, occupancy, utility or broader zoning approval; the applicable driveway construction or side/rear pad-base approval remains a site-specific fact.
Use the Mokena parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
