A.No commercial vehicle as defined in Vehicle Code section 15210, or trailer as defined in Vehicle Code section 630, or utility trailer as that term is defined above in subpart 17.08.130.B.7, exceeding nine feet in height or twenty-five feet in length for a single vehicle, or thirty-five feet in combined total length when attached to another vehicle or trailer, shall park between the hours of six p.m. and six a.m. on private property or public rights-of-way within residential zoning districts.
Full Breakdown
Section 17.08.134(A) targets commercial vehicles as defined by California Vehicle Code Section 15210, trailers under Vehicle Code Section 630, and utility trailers as defined in Section 17.08.130(B)(7), that exceed nine feet in height or twenty-five feet in length as a single vehicle, or thirty-five feet in combined length when a vehicle and trailer are attached. Any such vehicle is barred from parking between six p.m. and six a.m. on private property or public rights-of-way within a residential zoning district, whether the location is a driveway, a yard or the street itself.
Subsection B carves out deliveries and construction traffic: the nighttime ban does not stop a commercial vehicle from making pickups or deliveries to a building in the city, or from delivering materials for a repair, remodel or construction job that already has a building permit. Section 17.08.130 works alongside this rule for smaller recreational and utility vehicles: it bars 'storing' any camper, recreational vehicle or utility trailer in a front or street side setback, on a public street, or in a required off-street parking area of a commercial or industrial zone, with 'stored' defined as parking there for three consecutive days or nine intermittent days within a thirty-day period. A motor home or mounted camper on a one-ton or smaller pickup, no taller than nine feet, is exempted from that storage rule entirely.
Violations & Fines
Parking an oversized commercial vehicle or trailer overnight in a residential zone under Section 17.08.134 is an infraction, punishable pursuant to Chapter 1.18 of the Rocklin Municipal Code, up to five hundred dollars, or by administrative citation under Chapter 1.14, which starts at one hundred dollars for a first citation and rises to five hundred dollars for later citations, with each night of violation treated as a separate offense.
