Des Plaines City Code Section 7-3-2 makes it unlawful to park a commercial vehicle (over a B plate or exceeding 8,000 pounds gross weight) on any property in a residential district, except inside a fully enclosed garage, and bars overnight commercial-vehicle parking on the public right of way.
Under City Code Section 7-3-2, a 'commercial vehicle' is any vehicle licensed and classified by the State in excess of a B plate or weighing more than eight thousand (8,000) pounds gross weight (including the vehicle and its maximum load). It is unlawful to park such a commercial vehicle on any private or public property in any residential district of the city, except when it is parked within a fully enclosed private garage. It is also unlawful to park a commercial vehicle overnight on any public right of way, street, parkway, or sidewalk. These restrictions do not apply to commercial vehicles parked within the city for the purpose of delivering or collecting persons, materials, or merchandise, or performing a service to the residents on whose property (or adjacent property) the vehicle is parked. Active loading, delivery, or service work is therefore exempt while it is occurring.
A commercial vehicle parked in a residential district outside an enclosed garage, or parked overnight on the public right of way, is subject to citation and tow under Title 7; fines are set by the Section 7-10-6 fine schedule.
