Can portable storage containers, also known as pods, be kept on the street or residential property?
Portable storage containers are allowed anywhere on residential properties, including lawns and driveways. But they may not be placed on a street, sidewalk, trail or anywhere that might block cars or pedestrians. Within a six-month period, they may be kept for seven consecutive days in townhouse complexes; 30 consecutive days on lots that are 36,000 square feet or less; or 60 consecutive days on lots larger than 36,000 square feet. In some cases, they may be kept for up to six consecutive months with a special permit.
