South Barrington village officials are finalizing stricter rules for parking commercial trucks and recreational vehicles in town.
Under the proposed regulations, no commercial trucks — regardless of whether they’re emblazoned with a company name or logo — could be stored or parked on any residential property except in enclosed garages.
Current village code bans truck parking of any kind on residential properties of less than 5 acres.
As for RVs, if the proposal is adopted, parking similarly will be forbidden on any residential property — not just those less than 5 acres — except in enclosed garages.
Temporary exceptions would apply, however.
The current parking rules include a 48-hour exemption for loading recreational vehicles, and that would continue. But under the new proposal, such parking would be allowed only four times each year, and the stays would have to be at least one week apart.
An existing rule limiting outdoor RV parking or storage to two weeks per year on dates that are at least six months apart would remain in place.
