Full Breakdown
Section 66-59(c) makes it unlawful to park a commercial vehicle on residential property in any residential zoning district, or on the public streets abutting that property, unless it meets narrow exceptions. One commercial vehicle per dwelling unit is allowed if it stands less than nine feet tall, less than nine feet wide excluding mirrors, has an overall length under 20 feet, carries no more than two axles, and parks on a paved driveway or parking space; ladders or attachments cannot exceed the vehicle's highest point by more than two feet.
No commercial equipment may be stored on that vehicle, and any hazardous, obnoxious or odor-emitting material must be kept in a fully enclosed structure. Separate exceptions cover vehicles on an active, permitted construction site (not overnight), trade or delivery vehicles actually making a stop, emergency vehicles, and vehicles belonging to registered hotel or motel guests who are in transit. The section works alongside Sec. 66-59(a)'s residential-lot rule barring anyone from parking on a residentially zoned lot they don't own or live near. Violations are punished under Sec.
1-15, the code's general penalty, and the city can also pursue the matter through the code enforcement special magistrate process under Chapter 2, Article VI.
Violations & Fines
Violating the residential commercial-vehicle parking limits is punishable under Sec. 1-15's general penalty, a fine of up to $500, imprisonment up to 60 days, or both, with each continuing day treated as a separate offense. The city may instead or additionally pursue the case through its Chapter 2, Article VI code enforcement special magistrate process.
