Alpine County, CA Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

There is no general Alpine County ordinance setting hours or weight limits for parking commercial vehicles on residential streets countywide. Off-street commercial-vehicle storage is regulated through Title 18 (Zoning), which controls what uses each district allows, rather than a dedicated parking chapter. The only place the county code specifically addresses commercial vehicles in the public right-of-way is the Bear Valley winter ordinance. Chapter 10.12.050(C)(11) reserves a sixty-foot curb segment along the south side of No Name Road, west of the east entrance to the Bear Valley Commercial Area, for the loading and unloading of commercial vehicles serving area businesses during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and prohibits other vehicles from parking or standing there during that time. Subsection (C)(12) further bars any vehicle from blocking the east entrance to the commercial area, which must stay clear for emergency access. Elsewhere on county and state roads, commercial-vehicle parking, height, and length follow the California Vehicle Code; under CVC 22507 local authorities may by ordinance restrict parking of vehicles six feet or more in height near intersections, but Alpine County's only such restrictions are the Bear Valley provisions above.
