Summary
Hollywood bars Type A commercial vehicles, roughly one ton or heavier, over 8 feet tall, or with dual wheels or more than two axles, from residential districts entirely except inside a fully enclosed garage or during an 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. work window, under Code of Ordinances section 72.112. Smaller Type B commercial vehicles need six-foot screening.
(A) Type A Commercial Vehicles. Type A Commercial Vehicles shall not be parked or stored in a residential area or district, except: (1) Type A Commercial Vehicles may be parked or stored in a residential area or district within a wholly enclosed garage; and (2) Type A Commercial Vehicles may be parked in a residential area or district between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. for a temporary period for the purpose of performing business contracted for by the owner or agent of residential property. (B) Type B Commercial Vehicles. Type B Commercial Vehicles may be parked in a residential area or district in a wholly enclosed garage, or in a side or rear yard that is accessible by alley, public or private road, so long as the vehicle is concealed or obscured from view from adjacent private property and public rights-of-way by a building, wall, screen, fence, dense shrubbery, solid hedge or other similar obstacle six feet in height.
Full Breakdown
while the owner or agent is actively performing contracted business at the property. Type B Commercial Vehicles, the catch-all for commercial vehicles that do not meet the Type A thresholds, may sit in a residential district's side or rear yard reached by an alley or road, but only if screened from neighboring properties and the right-of-way by a building, wall, fence, dense shrubbery, or similar barrier at least six feet tall. No more than one commercial vehicle may be parked or stored per dwelling unit outside a fully enclosed garage, and any hazardous, obnoxious, or dust-generating material on a parked commercial vehicle must be completely covered or containerized.
Construction equipment such as earth-moving machines, excavators, and cranes cannot park in a residential area except during active, authorized construction. These restrictions reach a commercial vehicle parked in a driveway, an abutting alley, street, or right-of-way even if that property sits in a district the city has not zoned residential.
Violations & Fines
Section 72.112 is not listed among the flat parking fines in section 72.999(E), so a violation falls under the city's general penalty, section 10.99: up to a $500 fine, up to 60 days imprisonment, or both, with each day the vehicle remains a separate offense. Owners adversely affected by these restrictions may seek a variance from the Board of Appeals and Adjustment under section 72.122, appealable within 20 days.
