Salem restricts commercial vehicle parking in residential zones through the UDC. Large commercial vehicles and heavy equipment are prohibited from storage in residential areas.
Salem's Unified Development Code restricts parking and storage of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and heavy construction equipment are prohibited from overnight parking in residential neighborhoods. One personal commercial vehicle (work van or pickup) is generally permitted on the driveway. Vehicles with commercial signage must comply with zoning restrictions. Commercial vehicles over specified weight limits may be restricted on certain residential streets.
Violations result in code enforcement notices with compliance deadlines and potential fines.
