City Code sets minimum standards for commercial vehicles and restricts parking or storing large commercial vehicles in residential zones, regulates truck routes, and ties into the Model Traffic Code adopted statewide. Trucks in residential zones also face the 30-minute overnight limit.
City Code section 10.20.109 ('Minimum Standards for Commercial Vehicles') incorporates the Model Traffic Code for Colorado and restricts the parking or storage of commercial vehicles in residential zone districts, generally targeting vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,001 pounds or greater. City Code section 10.21.104 ('Truck Routes') requires trucks to use designated routes; a violation is payable at $90. Illegal commercial-motor-vehicle parking is separately citable under City Code 10.25.102(A)(11) ('CMV Parking'). The City Schedule of Fines lists 10.20.109 minimum-standards violations at $90 ($100 late). Colorado's statewide framework reinforces these rules: the Model Traffic Code for Colorado (adopted by reference under Colo. Rev. Stat. 42-4-110) and state size-and-weight statutes govern truck operation, while the City layers residential-zone parking limits on top. Trucks parked in residential zones are also subject to the 30-minute overnight window of City Code 10.12.107.
Minimum-standards violations under 10.20.109 are payable at $90 ($100 late); truck-route violations under 10.21.104 at $90; CMV illegal parking under 10.25.102(A)(11) at $50 ($55 late), per the City Schedule of Fines.
