Summary

Bolingbrook Code § 50-44(c) bars trucks, buses, and trailers over 9 feet tall, 20 feet long, or 8,000 pounds from parking anywhere in a residential district. Section 50-44(e) restricts commercial vehicles and contractor equipment parked in commercial lots to delivery, service, or zoning-approved storage.

(c)No trucks, buses, trailers, or other types of motor vehicles which either exceed nine feet in height or 20 feet in length or 8,000 pounds in gross weight shall be parked or stored in any area within a residential district.( ... e)No privately owned commercial vehicle, including but not limited to truck cab or trailer, or contractor's equipment shall be stored or parked within any parking lot or loading area or behind a commercial center or building in any commercial zoning district unless said vehicle is being used to make a delivery or render a service to a business occupying the property or unless the storage of commercial vehicles or contractor's equipment has been approved in accordance with the village's zoning ordinance.

Full Breakdown

Section 50-44(c) sets three independent size thresholds, any one of which triggers the ban: a truck, bus, trailer, or other motor vehicle exceeding nine feet in height, 20 feet in length, or 8,000 pounds in gross weight cannot be parked or stored anywhere within a residential district, not just in a yard. This is a flat district-wide exclusion, distinct from the yard-storage limits on ordinary vehicles in section 50-44(a). Section 50-44(e) separately regulates commercial zoning districts: a privately owned commercial vehicle, including a truck cab, trailer, or contractor's equipment, cannot be stored or parked in a parking lot, loading area, or behind a commercial center or building unless it is actively making a delivery or rendering a service to a business on that property, or unless the village has approved the storage under the zoning ordinance (chapter 54).

Both provisions trace to Code 1973 § 17-1514 and were most recently amended by Ordinance No. 22-051 on August 23, 2022, alongside the fee-schedule update in section 50-46. The rule reflects the same residential-character concern as the recreational-vehicle storage limits in section 50-44(a)-(b): the village keeps oversized commercial equipment out of neighborhoods entirely rather than setting a shorter time limit for it.

Violations & Fines

The section 50-46 schedule fines storage or parking of restricted vehicle types under section 50-44 at $50.00 per violation ('storage of vehicles on private or public property'), payable within ten days of the citation; an oversized truck or trailer found parked in a residential district can also be ordered removed by the village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my work truck in my driveway overnight?
Only if it stays under all three thresholds in section 50-44(c): 9 feet in height, 20 feet in length, and 8,000 pounds gross weight. Exceed any one and the vehicle cannot be parked or stored anywhere in a residential district.
Can contractor equipment sit in a commercial parking lot overnight?
Section 50-44(e) allows it only while actively delivering to or servicing a business on that property, or if the village has approved the storage under the zoning ordinance in chapter 54; otherwise it is prohibited.
What's the fine for illegally parking a commercial vehicle?
The section 50-46 schedule sets a $50.00 fine for storage or parking of vehicles restricted under section 50-44, whether the violation is in a residential district or an unauthorized commercial lot.
