Irondequoit, NY Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Town of Irondequoit Code § 235-104.1 covers the R-R, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5 and R-6 zoning districts. It defines a commercial vehicle as any vehicle designed for or primarily used for commercial purposes in conjunction with a business. The Town Board adopted it to cut hazardous traffic, noise, trash and wear on public highways in residential areas.

The general requirements set four limits. The gross vehicle weight cannot exceed 10,500 pounds as shown on the manufacturer's rating label. Only one such vehicle is allowed per dwelling unit. It must be for personal use by the occupant of the dwelling unit. Parking within a public highway or right-of-way is prohibited. A commercial vehicle cannot be parked or stored on a vacant lot or a lot without a principal structure unless the Zoning Board of Appeals grants a special use permit. When the Building Inspector asks, occupants must submit proof of ownership and vehicle weight.

The restrictions list vehicle types that are prohibited outright: dump trucks, construction equipment and trailers, tow trucks, buses, semitractors and trailers, step-vans, freight vans and trucks, flatbed and stake bed trucks, and sanitation equipment. Any other vehicle that exceeds two of three dimensions is also prohibited: body height of 90 inches (7.5 feet), body length of 240 inches (20 feet), or body width of 96 inches (eight feet), measured without mirrors and ornamentation.

Subsection F carves out exceptions: personal vehicles used by handicapped persons, construction vehicles actively and necessarily employed in construction or real property improvements, commercial vehicles in the normal course of pickup and delivery, vehicles on agricultural or farm properties used in farm business, recreational vehicles (which § 235-104 governs separately), and any vehicle parked within an enclosed garage.
