Orland Park RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | One RV or utility/haul trailer; at least 5 feet from lot lines and 10 feet from adjoining home. No grass/gravel setback parking; Old Orland Historic front-setback restriction applies. |
| Street / loading | Driveway allowance does not approve public-street storage. Separate loading and public-way requirements remain. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No sleeping or housing permission established by the driveway provision. Utility and wastewater approvals remain separate. |
One driveway RV with measured clearances
LDC 6-306(E)(5) permits one RV or utility or haul trailer in a driveway. Keep it at least five feet from every side, rear and front lot line, and at least ten feet from an adjoining residential building. Measure to the actual legal boundary and building, not a hedge, curb or assumed lot edge. This is a shared one-vehicle allowance for the named categories, not one of each.
Paving and historic-district constraints still matter
Section 6-2-2-10 prohibits parking or storage on grass or gravel in front, side and rear setbacks. The driveway provision should not be read as approval for a lawn or gravel extension. LDC 6-306(E)(7)(c) bars front-setback parking for any use in the Old Orland Historic district. Confirm the district, legal driveway surface and access before relying on the ordinary driveway route.
Do not turn driveway parking into housing or repairs
The cited parking allowance does not establish guest sleeping, ongoing residence, hookups or street storage permission. Vehicle repair is separately regulated: the nuisance code limits unscreened owner/lessee repairs and prohibits routine roadway maintenance, with a narrow emergency-removal exception. Keep loading, repairs and commercial-vehicle rules distinct from the one-RV driveway allowance, and obtain separate approvals for utilities and wastewater.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Orland Park Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Orland Park parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
