The driveway limit
Section 1193.08(a)(5) caps boats and recreational vehicles in a residential driveway at three consecutive days. The checker flags longer stays, but does not treat a shorter stay as approved.
Location matters
Subsection (a) keeps vehicles out of the required front yard and requires motor homes and trailers on driveways to remain at least 20 feet from the public right-of-way. Motor vehicles in public view must be operable, properly registered and equipped.
Do not substitute a trailer exception
Subsection (c) separately addresses camping and other trailers, with a two-week period and an enclosure or screening exception. Subsection (b) also addresses non-private passenger vehicles. Ask zoning how these provisions apply to the exact vehicle; screening does not automatically remove the residential-driveway limit.
Next step
Confirm the zoning district, required front yard, vehicle classification and applicable exceptions with village zoning. Street parking, sleeping, hookups and non-driveway storage are not approved by this guide.
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 positive approval is inferred from passing the duration and distance screen. Code portal edition 2026-02 was reviewed; confirm later amendments with the village.
Use the Plain City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
