Full Breakdown
Sec. 160 flatly bars parking or leaving standing any commercial vehicle with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds, and any commercial trailer or semitrailer regardless of its weight, on any public street or highway in Eastvale. The city posts warning signs at major entry points into the city to give drivers notice of the restriction, per subsection (b). Five exceptions in subsection (c) keep the rule from blocking legitimate commerce: a heavy commercial vehicle may still stop to make a pickup or delivery at a building on the restricted street, or to deliver materials for construction work under an existing building permit; a vehicle performing a service call to a property on the same block may park there; school and transit buses under Public Utilities Commission jurisdiction are exempt; vehicles owned by a city, county, state, public entity or licensed contractor working on public infrastructure are exempt; and authorized emergency vehicles are always exempt.
Outside those carve-outs, an over-10,000-pound truck, tractor or semitrailer cannot be left parked overnight in front of a house or business anywhere in the city. The rule was tightened by Ord. No. 19-03 in March 2019, which added the current three-tier penalty schedule to subsection (d). Because the threshold is a gross vehicle weight rating rather than a truck's actual load, even an empty box truck or tractor registered above 10,000 pounds GVWR is covered the moment it parks on a public street.
Violations & Fines
A first violation of the weight-based parking ban is an infraction punishable by a $250.00 fine under Sec. 10.20.160(d)(1). A second violation within the same period carries a $500.00 fine, and any additional violation within one year of the second carries a $750.00 fine. Vehicles parked in violation are also subject to citation and removal under the chapter's general enforcement provisions.
