Full Breakdown

Section 405.02(7)e of the Roseville City Code, headed Large/commercial vehicles, applies to any person owning, driving or in charge of a vehicle with a manufacturers rated capacity of more than one ton, as specified in state law. That person cannot cause or permit the vehicle to be parked outside or stand continuously for more than two hours on a property or on a public street within a residential zone in the city. The limit follows the vehicle's rated capacity, not its paint or lettering, so it can reach a pickup truck as well as a box truck.

Two exceptions are printed. The first covers a motor truck, pickup truck or similar vehicle used by a public utility, moving company or similar company that is actually being used to service a residence not belonging to or occupied by the operator of the vehicle. The second covers any vehicle that is actually making a pickup or delivery at the location where it is parked. The subsection closes by declaring unlawful any parking beyond the period reasonably necessary for the excepted service or delivery and in excess of the two-hour limit.

Other rules sit beside it. Subsection (7)c prohibits storing pipe, lumber, steel, machinery or similar materials outside on residentially-zoned property, including all vehicles, equipment or materials used in connection with a business, except temporary storage for construction or remodeling when a valid city-issued building permit exists. On the street itself, Section 602.04(c) states that no truck with a capacity of over two tons can be parked on any street for more than 90 minutes or for the time necessary to load or unload.

The community development director administers Chapter 405 under Section 405.06. Section 405.07 requires written notice that describes the nuisance and sets a deadline not exceeding 30 days, served in person, by regular or certified mail, or by posting on the premises.

Violations & Fines

Section 405.05 makes it unlawful to maintain a public nuisance defined in Chapter 405. Under Section 102.01(a) a Code violation is a misdemeanor, with a fine not to exceed $1,000.00, imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both. Section 102.01(c) also provides an administrative offense track with penalties from the city fee schedule, a seven-day deadline to request a hearing, and a 100 percent increase for a repeat offense within 18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a work truck park in a Roseville residential zone?
Section 405.02(7)e limits a vehicle with a manufacturers rated capacity of more than one ton to two hours of parking outside or standing continuously on a property or public street within a residential zone. Time beyond what an excepted service or delivery reasonably needs is unlawful once past two hours.
Do delivery and service trucks have to leave within two hours?
Not while they are actually working. Section 405.02(7)e excepts a truck used by a public utility, moving company or similar company to service a residence the operator does not own or occupy, and any vehicle actually making a pickup or delivery at that location. Staying beyond the time reasonably necessary is unlawful.
Is there a separate limit for trucks on the street?
Yes. Section 602.04(c) says no truck with a capacity of over two tons can be parked on any street for more than 90 minutes or for the time necessary to load or unload. That street rule sits in the traffic title and works alongside the residential-zone limit in Section 405.02(7)e.
Can I store business equipment at my house?
Section 405.02(7)c prohibits storing pipe, lumber, steel, machinery or similar materials outside on residentially-zoned property, including vehicles, equipment or materials used in connection with a business. The printed exception is temporary storage for construction or remodeling while a valid city-issued building permit exists.
