Summary
Pomona City Code Sec. 18-222(25) declares it a public nuisance to park or store any commercial vehicle over 25 feet long, eight feet tall or 80 inches wide, along with construction equipment, dump trucks and tractors, on a street or property in a residential zone unless the Code or state law permits it.
It is unlawful and it is declared to be a public nuisance for any person owning, leasing, occupying, or having charge or possession of any residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, business park, office, educational, religious assembly, vacant, or other premises within the city, to maintain such premises in such a manner that any of the following conditions are found to exist thereon: ... (25)Construction equipment, buses, tow trucks, taxicabs and vehicles-for-hire, dump trucks, flatbed trucks, grading equipment, tractors, tractor trailers, truck trailers, or any commercial vehicle over 25 feet long or eight feet in height or 80 inches wide, supplies, materials, or machinery of any type or description, parked or stored upon any street or property within a residential zone, except where permitted by this Code or state law; "Commercial vehicle," for the purposes of this section, means any motorized or non-motorized vehicle used or maintained to transport property or goods for profit, or persons for hire or compensation.

Full Breakdown
Sec. 18-222, the city's property-maintenance nuisance ordinance, opens by declaring it unlawful and a public nuisance for anyone owning, leasing, occupying or controlling residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial, business park, office, educational, religious, vacant or other premises in Pomona to maintain the property in violation of any of the 43 conditions the section lists. Item (25) targets oversized commercial equipment specifically: construction equipment, buses, tow trucks, taxicabs and other vehicles-for-hire, dump trucks, flatbed trucks, grading equipment, tractors, tractor trailers, truck trailers, and any commercial vehicle exceeding 25 feet in length, eight feet in height or 80 inches in width, together with the supplies, materials or machinery that go with them, may not be parked or stored on any street or on any property in a residential zone unless another Code section or state law specifically permits it. The section defines "commercial vehicle" broadly as any motorized or non-motorized vehicle used or maintained to transport property or goods for profit, or persons for hire or compensation, so delivery vans, tow trucks and taxis operated for pay all fall within the size thresholds if they exceed them.
Because this restriction lives in the nuisance chapter rather than the traffic chapter, it is enforced by the city's code compliance division through the nuisance abatement process, not by a routine parking citation alone. Sec. 18-222 works alongside the separate large-vehicle street-parking rules in Chapter 58, Division 2 (Secs. 58-300 through 58-306), which impose their own citywide overnight and four-hour on-street limits regardless of zoning.
Violations & Fines
Maintaining a residentially zoned property, or parking on a residential street, with an oversized commercial vehicle or the listed heavy equipment is a public nuisance under Sec. 18-222, enforced through code compliance's nuisance abatement process and backed by the Code's general penalty, Sec. 1-7: infractions run up to $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second within a year and $500 for each further violation, with continuing violations treated as separate offenses each day and grounds for injunctive relief.
