Full Breakdown
Section 312-43 sets two layers of commercial-vehicle parking limits. m. Monday through Saturday, or at any time on Sunday, unless the vehicle is actively making a delivery to a premises. As an alternative to street parking, the section lets commercially licensed vehicles park overnight and all day Sunday in the City lots listed on Schedule XXVII (§ 312-98), but only with a City-issued annual permit displayed for that specific vehicle and lot, and only if the vehicle fits a standard passenger space and is a closed vehicle such as a van or capped pickup; obtaining the permit requires signing a general release covering the vehicle and its contents.
In residential districts, defined by Subsection B as any area zoned R-1AA, R-1A, R-1B, R-2, R-3A, R-3B, R-4, R-5 or another residence district (extended to the center of the abutting street), Subsection D tightens the limit further: no commercially licensed vehicle may park on a residential street for more than one hour unless it is delivering to, or performing a service at, a premises in that area. Subsection C separately caps buses carrying more than eight passengers at one hour in residential areas. 1, which caps their street parking at the shorter of the posted time limit or two hours, allows them in municipal lots on standard passenger rates, and confines standing to designated taxi stands under Schedule XVIII.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the three-hour citywide limit, the one-hour residential-street limit, or parking overnight without the Schedule XXVII permit under § 312-43 is a Chapter 312 violation. Section 312-68 sets the fine at up to $50 for a first conviction, up to $100 for a second within 18 months, and up to $250 plus up to 90 days' imprisonment for a third conviction within that period.
