Fair Lawn prohibits parking commercial vehicles exceeding three-quarter-ton capacity in residential zones, and limits engine idling to 10 minutes for parked commercial vehicles.
Fair Lawn zoning bans the parking of commercial vehicles exceeding three-quarter-ton manufacturer's designated capacity in residential zones R-1-1, R-1-2, and R-1-3. Smaller commercial vehicles, such as light pickup trucks within capacity limits, may be parked at residences. Additionally, any parked or garaged commercial vehicle in the Borough is restricted from running its engine, accessory engines, or compressors for more than 10 minutes. The rules aim to limit noise, emissions, and visual impact on residential neighborhoods.
Violators face zoning fines and possible vehicle removal orders. Repeated idling violations may also draw separate citations under Borough noise and air quality provisions.
