San Clemente bans commercial vehicles from city streets, public lots, and alleys between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. except for active loading, and limits daytime commercial-vehicle parking to two hours outside of business-adjacent use.
SCMC 10.28.230(B) prohibits parking, stopping, or leaving standing any commercial vehicle between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on any city street, designated public parking lot, or alley, except while actively loading, unloading, or servicing the immediately adjacent property. Between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., a commercial vehicle may not be parked for more than two hours unless it is used for business and parked immediately adjacent to the property to which it is registered, and does not exceed size limits in the code or the California Vehicle Code.

Parking a commercial vehicle overnight or beyond the two-hour daytime limit is a Municipal Code infraction subject to citation and fines, with towing for repeat or oversized-vehicle violations.
