Westland allows RV and boat storage on residential property only in rear or side yards and off the street. On-street RV parking is limited to 48 hours for loading and unloading.
Westland Zoning Ordinance restricts recreational vehicle, boat, and trailer storage to the rear yard or behind the front building line of the principal structure. Front yard storage is prohibited. RVs and boats stored in side yards must be screened from adjacent properties and cannot encroach into required setbacks. On-street parking of RVs, boats, and trailers is allowed only for loading, unloading, or cleaning up to 48 hours.
