Danville rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Danville, a portable temporary storage container on a residential lot may be no larger than 130 square feet, with one per lot, and may stay no more than 30 consecutive days within a six-month period unless a building permit is active.
Danville's zoning code limits portable storage containers on residential lots to one of no more than 130 square feet, on a hard concrete or asphalt surface, for up to 30 consecutive days in six months. Trailers and recreational vehicles may not sit in the public right-of-way for more than 24 hours, and commercial vehicles, which the zoning code says include trucks over 12,000 pounds, may not park on residential streets. The city plows major streets first before making a first pass on residential streets.
