Englewood limits one-family residence properties to one commercial vehicle, capped at three-quarter-ton capacity, and prohibits trucks over four tons on streets overnight.
Englewood regulates commercial vehicle parking through both zoning and traffic codes. In one-family residence districts, no more than one commercial vehicle may be parked, stored, or left standing on any premises. The vehicle must not exceed three-quarter-ton load-carrying capacity and must be parked inside a garage or carport screened on at least three sides. On city streets, vehicles with a registered gross weight over four tons may not park between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., except for city-owned vehicles.
Parking a commercial truck overnight on a residential street, or storing more than one commercial vehicle at a single-family home, can trigger ticketing and zoning enforcement. Police issue parking summonses for the four-ton overnight rule, while zoning violations may result in court summonses and fines escalating with each repeated offense.
