Fairfield Municipal Code Chapter 11 prohibits the on-street parking of commercial vehicles, trailers, and oversized vehicles in residential areas except for active deliveries, public utility service, or with a specific permit. Storage of commercial vehicles on residential property requires zoning compliance.
Under the 2021 amendments to Chapter 11, no oversized vehicle (over 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, or 7 ft tall) may park or stand on a public right-of-way in Fairfield. Limited exceptions exist for commercial vehicles actively engaged in loading or unloading goods or providing service to an adjacent property, public utility company vehicles serving the area, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and construction vehicles operating under a city-issued permit. Otherwise, a commercial truck, semi-trailer, tow truck, or work van over the size threshold cannot legally park on a Fairfield residential street. Storage of commercial vehicles on private residential property is regulated by Section 25.20 (Residential Zoning Districts), which generally limits the number, size, and location of work vehicles in residential zones; many residential districts allow no more than one commercial vehicle, 1-ton or less rated capacity, owned by an occupant. Industrial and commercial zones (Section 25.24) permit on-site truck and trailer storage subject to screening and setback requirements.
Citations for prohibited oversize on-street parking start at $75-$100 and increase with repeat offenses; vehicles may be towed after 72 hours. Residential storage violations are pursued as code enforcement matters with administrative fines $100-$500. Violations of California Vehicle Code 22507.5 (commercial vehicle parking restrictions on posted streets) can also apply.
