Summary

Roseville Municipal Code Section 11.20.060 prohibits parking any commercial vehicle rated 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or more on a residential street, or on private property zoned R1, RS, R2, R3 or RMU, except while making an active pickup or delivery, or hauling materials to a job with a valid building permit. The public works director and police enforce the ban citywide.

A. No person shall stop, park or leave standing any commercial vehicle, as defined in the California Vehicle Code, upon any street within any residential district of the city, if such vehicle has a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more, for any purpose other than making pickups or deliveries of persons, goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure, located on such street or for any purpose other than delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon such street for which a building permit has previously been obtained. B. It is unlawful for any person to park or permit to be parked, on any private property listed under zoning classifications R1, RS, R2, R3, and/or RMU, any commercial vehicle, as defined in the California Vehicle Code, if such vehicle has a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more, for any purpose other than making pickups or deliveries of persons, goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure, located on such private property.

Full Breakdown

060, added by Ordinance 1748 in 1983 and extended to private property by Ordinance 5663 in 2016, splits the ban into two parts. Subsection A bars stopping, parking or leaving standing a heavy commercial vehicle, one meeting the California Vehicle Code's definition and rated at a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or more, on any street inside an area the city classifies as residential. Subsection B extends the identical weight threshold and identical narrow exceptions to private property in the R1, RS, R2, R3 and RMU zoning classifications, closing the loophole of simply pulling the truck into a driveway.

Both subsections carve out the same two exceptions: the vehicle may stop to make a pickup or delivery of persons, goods, wares or merchandise at a building on that street or property, or it may deliver materials for a bona fide repair, alteration, remodel or construction job for which a building permit was already issued. There is no exception for simply storing, resting or overnight-parking a work truck, dump truck, box truck or bus at a residence between jobs. 060 as the city's public works director or designee, who along with police officers assigned to traffic enforcement administers the parking code citywide.

20, Article I, 'Parking in General,' alongside the 72-hour storage limit on public streets and the ban on parking in a driveway without the property owner's consent.

Violations & Fines

Title 11 violations are infractions under Section 11.04.020, which routes punishment through Section 1.20.010's citation authority. Section 1.20.020 sets the current infraction fine schedule at up to $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second violation of the same section within 12 months, and $500 for a third or later violation within that period, after which the city attorney may elect to charge a fourth offense as a misdemeanor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my box truck in my driveway overnight in Roseville?
No, if it has a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more. Section 11.20.060(B) bans parking a heavy commercial vehicle on private property zoned R1, RS, R2, R3 or RMU unless it is actively loading, unloading or delivering construction materials to a permitted job, so overnight or between-jobs storage in a residential driveway is prohibited.
What size vehicle counts as commercial under this rule?
Any vehicle meeting the California Vehicle Code's definition of a commercial vehicle with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more, roughly a one-ton dually or larger box truck, dump truck or bus. Lighter pickup trucks and vans under that rating are not covered by Section 11.20.060.
Is there any way to legally park a work truck on a residential street?
Yes, briefly. Section 11.20.060(A) allows a heavy commercial vehicle to stop on a residential street only while making a pickup or delivery to a building on that street, or while delivering materials for repair, remodeling or construction work covered by a building permit already issued for that address.
