City of Peoria zoning limits parking large commercial vehicles and semi-trailers in residential districts. A personal pickup or work van is usually fine, but a semi-tractor or heavy truck generally cannot be stored at a home.
Local zoning, not just state road law, governs commercial vehicles at a residence. In residential districts across Peoria, Chillicothe, Bartonville, and the unincorporated county, ordinances commonly cap the size or weight of a commercial vehicle that may be parked overnight, so a personal pickup or work van is allowed while a semi-tractor, box truck, or trailer over a set limit is prohibited. The Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5) sets size and weight rules for those vehicles on public roads. Enforcement of the residential limits falls to city or county code enforcement, and temporary parking for an active delivery or service call is allowed.
Parking a prohibited semi or heavy commercial vehicle overnight in a residential zone is a zoning violation, drawing a written notice, escalating daily fines, and possible towing of the vehicle.
