No Monterey County-specific ordinance directly restricts commercial vehicle parking in unincorporated areas beyond the general 72-hour limit. California Vehicle Code section 22507 (and posted local restrictions under Chapter 12.28) governs.
Research of Monterey County Code Title 12 (Vehicles and Traffic), Chapter 12.28 (street parking), and Chapter 21.58 (off-street parking quantities) does not identify a county-wide ordinance specifically restricting commercial-vehicle parking in residential-zoned areas of unincorporated Monterey County. The general 72-hour on-street limit under Chapter 12.72 and Cal. Veh. Code section 22651(k) applies to commercial vehicles. California Vehicle Code section 22507 authorizes local agencies to restrict or prohibit the parking or standing of commercial vehicles by posted signs and ordinance; in unincorporated Monterey County, such restrictions are typically established on a street-by-street basis under Chapter 12.28 rather than as a blanket prohibition. Loading-space requirements for commercial uses (one off-street loading space for buildings over 5,000 sq ft, plus one additional per 20,000 sq ft) are set in Section 20.58.050(H) of the Coastal Zoning Ordinance. Abandoned or inoperative commercial vehicles are subject to Chapter 12.72.
Commercial vehicles parked over 72 hours on a county road may be marked and towed under Chapter 12.72 and Cal. Veh. Code section 22651(k). Posted Chapter 12.28 restrictions are enforced by the Sheriff. State law applies where the county code is silent.
