Menifee prohibits any commercial vehicle with a manufacturer weight rating over 10,000 pounds — and any commercial trailer or semi-trailer regardless of weight — from parking or being left on any street or highway in a residential zone. Lighter commercial vehicles are still subject to the citywide 72-hour on-street rule.
The City of Menifee Code Enforcement parking handout (cityofmenifee.us Document Center File 229) states verbatim: 'Commercial vehicles with a weight rating of more than ten thousand pounds (10,000) or any commercial trailer or semi-trailer regardless of weight may not be parked or left on any street or highway in a residential zone.' This implements Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 12.20 (Vehicle Parking) and tracks the California Vehicle Code § 22507 authorization for local restrictions on heavy commercial vehicle parking in residential districts. There is no stated time-of-day window — the prohibition is absolute for over-10,000-lb commercial vehicles and for all commercial trailers/semi-trailers in residential zones. Smaller commercial vehicles (pickups, vans, light trucks ≤ 10,000 lb GVWR) may park on residential streets but remain subject to the citywide 72-hour limit (Menifee MC Ch. 12.20 / Cal. Veh. Code § 22651(k)): after 72 hours in one location, the vehicle must be moved more than 500 feet. Off-street commercial vehicle storage on residential property is regulated by Title 9 Development Code (zoning) — commercial trucks generally are not permitted as a residential accessory use; verify with Community Development. Loading and unloading for legitimate deliveries is implicitly permitted as an incidental use.
Parking citation under Menifee Municipal Code Ch. 12.20 and Cal. Veh. Code § 22507; vehicle subject to tow under § 22651. Repeat violations may trigger administrative citations or nuisance abatement through Code Enforcement at (951) 672-6777.
