One personal-use commercial vehicle (pickup truck, van) may be parked on residential property if used for daily commuting. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials may not be parked in residential areas at any time. Semi-trucks, construction equipment, and box trucks must be stored at commercial or industrial locations.
