Summary
No vehicle or trailer over 12,000 pounds licensed weight, including tractor-trailers, dump trucks and buses, may park or be stored on a residential street in Florissant at any time under Section 365.090, and the City can also post specific streets off-limits to commercial vehicles under Section 365.070.
In cases where an equally direct and convenient alternate route is provided, an ordinance may describe and signs may be erected giving notice thereof that no persons shall operate any commercial vehicle upon streets or parts of streets so described except those commercial vehicles making deliveries thereon. ... No person shall park or store any motor vehicle or trailer on any residential street of the City at any time which has a licensed weight exceeding twelve thousand (12,000) lbs., including but not limited to tractor-trailers, attached or unattached, tractor-trailer cab, attached or unattached, bus, dump trucks or dump type trucks.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4989395; v43 updated 2026-05-26; through 05-26-2026).
Full Breakdown
090(A)(6) flatly bans parking or storing any motor vehicle or trailer with a licensed weight over 12,000 pounds on a residential street at any time, naming tractor-trailers (attached or unattached), tractor-trailer cabs, buses, and dump trucks or dump-type trucks as examples. That differs from the lighter-commercial allowance elsewhere in the same section, which lets a commercial vehicle licensed under 12,000 pounds park behind the front setback line established under Chapter 405 or in an approved driveway. 070 lets the City post signs closing specific streets to commercial vehicles generally, not just for residential parking, whenever an equally direct and convenient alternate route exists, with an exception for vehicles actually making deliveries on that street.
100 extends the same approach to buses and commercial vehicles on the streets listed in Schedule XI, again exempting pickup, delivery or servicing at adjacent properties. Neither section sets its own fine, so violations are punished under the City's general penalty clause.
Violations & Fines
Neither Section 365.070 nor 365.090 states its own fine, so citations for illegally parked heavy commercial vehicles or trucks on a posted-prohibited street are enforced under the City's general penalty, Section 100.080: up to a $1,000 fine, up to three months in the City or County Jail, or both.
