Commercial vehicles over standard pickup truck size and equipment trailers are restricted from prolonged residential street and driveway parking under Chapter 10 zoning and Chapter 5 nuisance provisions.
Prior Lake's zoning code (Chapter 10) and nuisance provisions limit storage of commercial vehicles - semi-tractors, dump trucks, large delivery vans, construction equipment, large trailers - in residential districts. Typical service pickups and contractor vans used by residents are allowed as part of normal residential vehicle use; vehicles over a specified gross weight or length (typically 1-ton, 22-foot threshold) are restricted. Commercial equipment trailers may be parked for short periods (24-48 hours) but not stored long-term in driveways or on residential streets. Boat trailers have separate seasonal rules under recreational equipment provisions.
Prolonged storage of commercial vehicles in residential areas is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 plus required relocation. Repeat violations escalate.
