Unincorporated Sacramento County Zoning Code limits commercial vehicle parking in residential zones. Generally one commercial vehicle under a weight threshold (commonly 10,000 lbs GVWR) is allowed if owned by the resident. Semi-trucks and large trailers are prohibited in residential areas. CVC 22507.5 authorizes street parking restrictions.
Sacramento County Zoning Code restricts commercial vehicle parking in residentially zoned areas. A resident may typically store one commercial vehicle associated with their employment if it does not exceed a specified weight or size (commonly 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, or no more than two axles and under 25 feet long; exact thresholds vary by zone). Semi-tractors, tractor-trailers, tow trucks over certain sizes, and multiple commercial vehicles are not permitted on residential property. On public streets, CVC 22507.5 allows local authorities to prohibit parking of commercial vehicles with GVWR over 10,000 pounds between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. where signed. Loading and unloading for active deliveries is permitted. Some business-park and industrial zones permit commercial vehicle storage with appropriate use permits.
