Commercial vehicles cannot park on Daly City residential streets overnight (5 p.m.-7 a.m.); qualifying residents and businesses may buy an annual Commercial Vehicle Parking Permit ($210 as of July 1, 2024, maximum two per applicant) to park overnight in one of four designated Commercial Vehicle Parking Zones.
Ordinance No. 1467 (adopted July 10, 2023) amended Sections 10.32.150 and 10.32.155 of the Daly City Municipal Code. Oversized and commercial vehicles are banned from all streets 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. under Section 10.32.150. Section 10.32.155 creates the commercial preferential permit program: the Finance Department issues decal permits to applicants who prove Daly City residence or a business operating in the city plus current registration of the commercial vehicle to that resident or business; no more than two permits issue per qualified resident or business. Employees may permit an employer-registered vehicle on a showing that they need it near home for valid employment or emergency purposes. Permits cover commercial vehicles described in Section 10.32.150 and commercial limousines exceeding nineteen feet, but not recreational vehicles, boats, private towing trailers, roofing asphalt kettles, hazardous materials tank trucks or horse trailers. Permit holders may park overnight (5 p.m.-7 a.m. daily) in the four Commercial Vehicle Parking Zones (Zone 1 Bayshore, Zone 2 Civic Center, Zones 3A and 3B Serramonte), which otherwise operate as two-hour zones 7 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. The annual fee is $210 effective July 1, 2024, with permits valid January 1 through December 31 and applications online at dalycity.getapermit.net. Falsified permits are invalidated and the permittee barred for the remainder of the year (Section 10.32.155(J)); illegal dumping from a permitted vehicle triggers the same penalty (Section 10.32.155(K)).
Per the Citation Fees Schedule: a commercial vehicle in a Commercial Vehicle Parking Zone without a city permit is cited $110 (Sec. 10.32.155(X)(A)), a non-commercial vehicle in a posted commercial-only zone $40 (Sec. 10.32.155(X)(B)), and an oversized/commercial vehicle parked overnight outside a zone $260 (Sec. 10.32.150). The city's permit page states citation amounts under Resolution No. 23-112 range from $124 to $585 depending on violation type. Fraudulent permits and illegal dumping result in permit revocation and a permanent program bar.
