Full Breakdown

Section 10.28.291 (Ordinance 1311, 2000) bans parking or storing trucks, delivery vans, moving vans, tractors, backhoes or other commercial vehicles used primarily in a trade or business that have a one-ton or more rated carrying capacity or a maximum gross vehicle weight exceeding 10,000 pounds in any residential zone, unless the owner obtains a conditional development permit from the planning commission under Chapter 18.66 and the criteria in Section 18.58.040. Section 10.28.293 (Ordinance 1355, 2004) extends the same prohibition, including trailers, to all city streets and authorizes towing under California Vehicle Code Section 22651(n). Both sections exempt vehicles actively making pickups or deliveries or delivering materials for construction work with a building permit.

Commercial vehicles parked on city streets may be towed and stored under CVC 22651(n); Chapter 10.28 violations also carry civil penalties with fines set by city council resolution (RMC 10.28.295).
