Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR are prohibited from overnight parking on residential streets in Concord and cannot be stored on residentially zoned properties. Parking is limited to industrial/commercial zones or brief loading stops.
Under CMC Title 10 and Title 18, commercial vehicles including semi-trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, and tow trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more are prohibited from parking on public streets in residential zones between 10 PM and 6 AM. Storage of commercial vehicles on residentially zoned parcels is prohibited outright - they must be kept in industrial (IL, IH) or commercial zones where such use is permitted. Loading and unloading stops up to 30 minutes are permitted. Contractor vehicles (pickups, vans) under 10,000 lbs GVWR used as personal transportation are generally allowed in residential driveways but cannot display advertising larger than the CVC allows when parked on the street. Trailers used for commercial purposes follow the same residential restrictions. Violations result in citations under CMC and CVC 22507.5, with fines escalating for repeat offenses, and the vehicle may be towed. Businesses with fleet vehicles should identify off-site storage in compliant zones.
