Scottsdale restricts the parking of large commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods through its zoning ordinance. Heavy trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles above certain weight or size thresholds may not be parked or stored on residential properties or streets.
Scottsdale's zoning ordinance restricts the parking and storage of commercial vehicles in residential districts. Vehicles exceeding specified weight and size limits cannot be parked or stored in residential zones. This includes semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, heavy construction equipment, and other large commercial vehicles. Light commercial vehicles (pickup trucks, vans) used for personal transportation are generally permitted. The city's code enforcement division responds to complaints about commercial vehicle storage in residential areas. On-street parking of commercial vehicles is also restricted in residential neighborhoods. Arizona state law (ARS §28-961) governs commercial vehicle weight limits on roads. The Scottsdale Airpark has specific regulations for commercial vehicle parking and operations within its boundaries.
Commercial vehicles parked in residential zones in violation of size/weight restrictions may be cited and required to be removed.
