Brooklyn Park, MN Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

901(F) governs outdoor storage and parking of commercial vehicles as an accessory use tied to a residential dwelling, and (F)(2) sets two layers of restriction. The first is a flat quantity cap: 'outdoor parking of commercial vehicles is limited to one vehicle per dwelling unit,' so a household running more than one commercial vehicle cannot keep both parked outside at the same time even if both belong to residents of the property. 1019, the city's general parking standards. The second layer is a size and weight threshold that applies regardless of the one-vehicle allowance: semi trucks, semi trailers, dump trucks, tow trucks, and any commercial vehicle 'with a registered gross weight over 15,000 pounds or in excess of 30 feet in length' cannot be parked outdoors at a residential property at all.

The only exception written into (F)(2) is operational, not residential: the oversized vehicle may be present 'when the vehicle is being used for loading or unloading or for rendering a service on the property,' meaning a delivery truck, moving van, or contractor's rig can be there temporarily while actually working the site, but cannot be stored there afterward. That distinction, active use versus storage, is what separates a lawful delivery from an unlawful parked semi.
