RV, boat and trailer parking in the City of Wyoming, MI is governed by the Wyoming Code of Ordinances Chapter 78 (Traffic and Vehicles) on the street side and Chapter 90 (Zoning) on private property. The City's winter Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) restricts which side of the street any vehicle - including RVs and trailers - may park on from December 1 through March 31, and the Zoning Ordinance generally requires that recreational vehicles, boats and trailers stored at a single-family home be kept off the front yard and out of the public right-of-way.
Wyoming is a home-rule city of approximately 77,000 in Kent County, governed by the Wyoming City Charter and the Wyoming Code of Ordinances. Chapter 78 of the City Code (Traffic and Vehicles) adopts the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code for Cities, Townships and Villages by reference, which incorporates MCL 257.674 of the Michigan Vehicle Code (Act 300 of 1949) prohibiting parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk (or 15 feet of an intersection if no crosswalk), within 30 feet of the approach to a flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic-control signal, and within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. The City's Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) requires alternating-side street parking from midnight to 6 p.m. every day from December 1 through March 31, with a $30 fine per violation; on cul-de-sacs, parking is permitted only on even-numbered calendar days. The Ordinance is enforceable even when there is no snow on the ground. Chapter 90 (Zoning) regulates how RVs, boats and trailers may be parked or stored on private residential property; storage in the public right-of-way and parking on unimproved surfaces in the front yard are not permitted, and using an RV as a dwelling unit outside a licensed campground is not allowed. Statewide construction and habitation standards come through the Michigan Single State Construction Code adopted under 2008 PA 407.
Parking an RV, boat or trailer in violation of the Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) is a $30 municipal civil infraction per ticket. Storing recreational equipment in the front yard outside a permitted driveway, or storing it in a way that violates the Chapter 90 Zoning Ordinance, is enforceable by the Wyoming Department of Community and Economic Development (Planning and Zoning Division) as a zoning violation, with notice-of-violation, abatement, and continuing-violation tickets. Vehicles parked in violation of MCL 257.674 (hydrant, crosswalk, stop sign, railroad-crossing setbacks) under Chapter 78 are subject to ticket and tow by the Wyoming Department of Public Safety.
