Full Breakdown
Beaumont Municipal Code § 10.12.030(A)(1) covers any commercial vehicle consisting of a truck tractor, motor truck, semi-trailer or a combination exceeding a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds. Parking or leaving one standing upon any street, highway, alley, public right-of-way or residential property within the City is unlawful, subject to the exceptions and to a permit under § 10.12.040. Because the text names residential property, the ban reaches a driveway or yard, not only the street. The same subsection bars parking a detached trailer that cannot be driven on a street, parking any vehicle ten feet or more in height, including load, within 100 feet of a street intersection or official traffic control device, and parking a heavy commercial vehicle on a street with any part within 30 feet of a driveway opening other than the driver's own, or within 50 feet of another heavy truck or trailer.
Subsection (B) lists the exceptions: two consecutive hours on designated truck routes; while making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares or merchandise to adjacent property on streets that are not truck routes; and while parked in aid of an ongoing service to, or on, a property in the same block. Under subsection (C), the section does not apply in the community industrial land use district or to commercial vehicles of government agencies, public and private utilities and licensed contractors installing, maintaining or repairing public property, utilities or roadways.
Permits come from the Chief of Police under § 10.12.040. They expire one year after issuance, and renewal applications are due at least ten days before expiration. Nonresident visitor permits expire three days after issuance, with no more than three issued to one person in any 12 months. Permits are nontransferable, tied to the property described in the application, and revocable for good cause. Section 10.12.020 separately bars commercial vehicles within 500 feet of a school, except during a delivery.
Violations & Fines
Under § 10.12.050 the Enforcement Officer chooses an administrative citation under Sections 1.17.200 et seq. or an infraction under Section 1.16.010. Section 1.16.030 caps fines at $100 for a first violation, $200 for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year, and $500 for each additional violation, and a fourth can be charged as a misdemeanor. Each violation is a separate offense under Section 1.16.040, and a permit can be revoked for violating Chapter 10.12.
