Mission Viejo restricts parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Vehicles over one ton rated capacity or displaying commercial signage are generally prohibited from being stored or regularly parked in residential areas.
MVMC zoning regulations restrict the parking and storage of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Vehicles exceeding one ton rated capacity, vehicles with commercial signage or advertising, and vehicles used primarily for commercial purposes are generally prohibited from being parked or stored on residential streets or in driveways visible from the street. This includes work trucks, box trucks, utility vehicles with commercial equipment racks, and vehicles with company logos or advertising wraps. Small commercial vehicles (under one ton) may be parked in a driveway but not on the street for extended periods. HOA CC&Rs in Mission Viejo typically impose additional commercial vehicle restrictions, with many prohibiting any visible commercial vehicles regardless of size. Vehicles must be parked in enclosed garages to comply with both city and HOA rules. Exceptions may apply for vehicles actively engaged in construction or delivery at the property. Code Enforcement at (949) 470-3054 handles commercial vehicle complaints. OC Sheriff enforces street parking restrictions.
Parking commercial vehicles in residential zones in violation of MVMC zoning regulations may result in warning notices and administrative citations starting at $100. HOA violations carry separate fines. Vehicles parked on streets may be cited or towed.
