Full Breakdown
As a non-zoned municipality, Pasadena does not have traditional zoning-based restrictions on commercial vehicles in residential areas. Instead, deed restrictions in individual subdivisions typically address whether commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, or equipment can be stored at residential properties. Chapter 36 (Traffic) of the city code governs parking of vehicles on public streets, including prohibitions on blocking right-of-way and obstructing traffic. The off-street parking ordinance (Sec. 9-7) specifies parking requirements for commercial uses including truck terminals (1 space per loading dock plus office parking) and equipment/storage yards. Code Enforcement addresses nuisance conditions involving commercial vehicles at residential properties.
Violations & Fines
Street parking violations under Chapter 36. Nuisance conditions: fine up to $2,000.
