Cary restricts parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Large commercial vehicles, semi-trucks, and heavy equipment may not be stored in residential neighborhoods.
Cary's zoning ordinance restricts storage and parking of large commercial vehicles in residential areas. Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, heavy construction equipment, and vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding specified limits are prohibited from overnight parking in residential zones. One personal-use commercial vehicle (work van, pickup) is generally permitted in the driveway. HOAs often have additional restrictions on commercial vehicle parking. The town's code enforcement division handles complaints about commercial vehicles in residential areas.
Violations result in code enforcement notices with compliance deadlines, followed by fines for continued non-compliance.
