How it works

Identify where the vehicle or trailer will stand and how it will be used. A public street and a driveway are governed by different provisions. Storing a vehicle and occupying it as accommodation are also distinct questions. Camping in a vehicle or trailer in a public parking lot or parking space is prohibited. Check the zone separately for private land.

Steps

  1. Check the parking rules in Zoning Bylaw No. 832, 2018 (PDF). Record the location, proposed dates, vehicle length and whether a trailer will be attached to a tow vehicle. Check posted signs at the actual street location.
  2. For private land, find the parcel's zone and mark where the vehicle would sit. Tell planning whether it will be stored, used for sleeping or connected to services.
  3. Enter your address on Pemberton’s map or locate the parcel manually.

Good to know

  • If you move it between the street and your property, check each location separately. Include the proposed duration when asking about a temporary arrangement.
  • For a question about the exact parking location, vehicle dimensions and proposed length of stay, call the Municipal Hall at 604-894-6135. If you intend to sleep in it, say so when describing the proposed use.
  • Read the applicable provisions in Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 874, 2020 and Parking and Traffic Control Bylaw (PDF).
