Glendale strictly limits commercial vehicle parking in residential areas. Only one commercial vehicle may be parked at a residence. Heavy commercial vehicles, tractors, semi-trailers, and buses are prohibited from parking on residential streets.
Glendale's zoning regulations restrict commercial vehicle parking in residential neighborhoods. Only one commercial vehicle may be parked at a residence in residential zoning districts. Heavy commercial vehicles as defined by A.R.S. §28-3001, tractors, semi-trailers, trailers, and buses are prohibited from parking on streets in or adjoining residential zones except during active loading or unloading. The code is notably strict — even large pickup trucks (dually 1-ton trucks) in some interpretations fall under the restriction. Commercial vehicles that are permitted must be parked in designated locations on the property, not on the street. Code Compliance investigates complaints about commercial vehicles in residential areas. HOAs in many Glendale subdivisions impose additional commercial vehicle restrictions through CC&Rs.
Parking citations. Towing for overweight or prohibited vehicles. Progressive enforcement through Code Compliance. HOA fines applied separately.
