Full Breakdown

City Code § 24-68(e)(7) prohibits storing commercial vehicles on residential property and instead limits parking there by classification defined in § 24-3(h). The total allowable number of commercial vehicles parked on a residential property is capped at two, following per-class limits: Class 1 is limited to two per residential property, Class 2 is limited to two per residential property, and Class 3 is limited to two heavy-duty pickup trucks up to 19,500 pounds GVWR, with all other Class 3 commercial vehicles not permitted at all.

Classes 4 through 8 are prohibited from residential properties entirely, except as allowed under Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1809 covering public service and public safety emergency vehicles. Subsection (e)(7)(b) carves out an exception for delivery or temporary loading and unloading of goods and materials tied to a permitted use, which is not counted against the cap. Separately, § 24-68(e)(6) bans parking or storing any personal vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating over 19,500 pounds outright, except inside a permitted enclosed garage, and § 24-68(e)(9) bars parking or storing construction equipment such as dump trucks, flatbed hauling trailers, cement mixers and ditch diggers in a residential district except while active on-site construction is underway.

Violations & Fines

Section 24-68(j) makes a violation of any paragraph of § 24-68, including the commercial-vehicle classification limits, a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $100.00, unless the city designates the offense a civil violation instead.

Depends on its class. Section 24-68(e)(7) allows up to two Class 1 or Class 2 commercial vehicles per residential property, and up to two Class 3 heavy-duty pickups under 19,500 pounds GVWR, but bans any other Class 3 vehicle and prohibits Class 4 through Class 8 vehicles entirely, absent an A.R.S. § 33-1809 exemption.

Two. Section 24-68(e)(7)(a) caps the total allowable number of commercial vehicles parked on a residential property at two, regardless of how the classes are mixed, and separately prohibits storing any commercial vehicle there.

Yes. Section 24-68(e)(7)(b) exempts parking for the purpose of delivery or temporary loading and unloading of goods and materials associated with a permitted use from the commercial-vehicle count and classification limits.
