Full Breakdown
Section 355.110, Commercial and Recreational Vehicle Parking Prohibited, adopted by Ordinance No. 580 in 2014 and amended by Ordinance No. 653 in 2022, states in Subsection A that it is unlawful to park any commercial or recreational vehicle, as defined in the Section, on any public street, alley, or other public right-of-way in the City. Subsection C defines a COMMERCIAL VEHICLE as any vehicle weighing fourteen thousand (14,000) pounds gross vehicle weight or more, or having a width of eighty (80) inches or more, or having a length of twenty (20) feet or more, including trailers and semi-trailers, a threshold that reaches full-size delivery trucks and semis rather than ordinary pickups.
Subsection D carves out four exemptions: commercial vehicles engaged in deliveries or supporting an ongoing business activity such as construction or moving; commercial vehicles temporarily parked while actually loading or unloading merchandise or passengers; utility vehicles owned by a public agency or utility performing repair services; and recreational vehicles located in an authorized RV park or campground. The ordinance replaced two older provisions, former Section 355.110 (Trailer Parking) and former Section 355.120 (Truck Parking), consolidating both into this single Section.
Violations & Fines
Subsection E makes a violation punishable pursuant to the City's general penalty, Section 100.220, and expressly provides that every day a commercial vehicle remains parked in violation constitutes a separate offense, so fines can accumulate daily until the vehicle is moved.
