Wayne, NJ Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 134-67.1 of the Wayne Township Code sits in the outdoor storage section of Chapter 134 (Land Development) and governs residential districts in Wayne Township, Passaic County. Subsection A(1) bars the use of any residential driveway area within the front yard for the storage of boats, commercial or recreational trailers, mobile homes and other similar recreational vehicles. The ban reaches trailers whether they are licensed or unlicensed by the NJMVC or another state agency, so a current registration does not earn a spot in the front driveway.

The Township Council does not push these vehicles off the lot entirely. A side or rear yard is allowed, but with fixed distances: no such vehicle can be parked closer than five feet to a side yard or 10 feet from a rear yard. The same sentence closes by stating that the vehicle shall in no event be permitted to be parked in any front yard, so the front of the lot is off limits whether the surface is pavement, gravel or lawn.

Subsection A(2) adds a separate surface rule for motor vehicles: they shall only be parked within paved driveway areas and cannot be parked on any grass portion of the front, rear or side yards. That rule applies on every residential lot in Wayne Township and is independent of the storage ban in A(1).

The provisions were added on 10-15-2003 by Ord. No. 56-2003. Subsection A(1) carries later amendment notes for Ord. No. 18-2009 and for 5-20-2020 under Ord. No. 17-2020. Commercial trucks and vans are handled in the next subsection, § 134-67.1(B), which caps a residential property at one commercial vehicle overnight. Notices for Chapter 134 violations are served by the Construction Official or the Zoning Officer.
