Full Breakdown
The section defines the vehicles it reaches: a truck is anything above 1½ tons rated capacity or a truck-tractor with or without an attached semi-trailer or pole trailer; a bus is any vehicle built for more than 18 passengers, or any other vehicle carrying passengers for compensation, excluding school buses and church buses running 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; a tank vehicle is a commercial vehicle with a permanently or temporarily attached tank as defined by 49 CFR 171, excluding portable tanks under 1,000 gallons.
Any such truck, bus, semi-trailer, pole trailer or tank vehicle is barred from being parked or stored on public or private property in a residential zoning district, or in any other district within 300 feet of a residential subdivision, and the only permitted stop is for actual loading or unloading. Three categories are carved out of the 300-foot restriction: vehicles used in a business lawfully established in a commercial or industrial zoning district, farm vehicles used by the owner or occupant in an agricultural zoning district, and buses operated by schools and churches within residential zones. The section was adopted by Ordinance 507 in 1990 and last amended by Ordinance 362(02) in 2002.
Violations & Fines
Violations fall under the city's general penalty, Section 1-108, which sets a fine of up to $500.00 where no specific fine is stated, enforced by Moore code enforcement officers and police through municipal court. A truck, bus or tank vehicle left within 300 feet of a residential subdivision beyond a loading or unloading stop can be cited each day the vehicle remains in that location.
