Summary
South Jordan bars trucks from parking anywhere in the city by default, and residential and P-C zones allow no truck parking at all except while actively loading or unloading cargo.
General Prohibition: No truck shall be parked or stored anywhere within the city, except as permitted by this section. Residential Zone and P-C Zone Parking: No truck shall be parked within any residential zone and within a P-C Zone (as set forth in title 17 of this code), except while actually loading or unloading cargo on or in said vehicle. Nonresidential Zone Parking: No truck shall be parked along any collector or arterial street within the jurisdiction of the city, as designated on the city transportation master plan, except while actually loading or unloading cargo on or in said vehicle. A truck may park on private property in a nonresidential zone (as set forth in title 17 of this code), or on a public street that is not a collector or arterial street in such a zone, for up to a maximum of forty eight (48) hours, unless a truck parked on a public street is parked within thirty feet (30') of an intersection with any public or private road, street, alley, driveway, or other site of vehicular access to the public street on which it is parked. Emergency: A truck may be parked so as not to create a safety hazard or obstruct the flow of traffic if such truck is unable to travel or travel safely because of unforeseen circumstances beyond the driver's control, such as inclement weather or unanticipated equipment failure.
Full Breakdown
City Code § 10.24.010 makes truck parking or storage unlawful citywide except as the section permits. Within any residential zone or P-C zone, no truck may park even briefly unless it is actually loading or unloading cargo. In nonresidential zones, trucks may sit on collector or arterial streets only while loading, though a truck may use other public streets or private property for up to 48 hours, and never within 30 feet of an intersection. A narrow emergency exception covers trucks that can't travel safely because of weather or equipment failure.
Violations & Fines
Parking a truck in a residential or P-C zone outside active loading or unloading violates § 10.24.010; Title 10 offenses default to a class C misdemeanor under § 10.04.090.
