Summary
In the Village of Southampton, commercial vehicles cannot be parked in any front yard, in any required side yard, or within 10 feet of a property line in a required rear yard of a residence district. Section 116-9(B)(2) of the Village Code covers the yards, and separate street and lot rules add hour and weight limits.
B. In residence districts. ... (2) No commercial vehicles nor any house trailer, mobile home, boat or boat trailer or any similar equipment shall be parked in any front yard or in any required side yard or within 10 feet of any property line in a required rear yard.[2]
Full Breakdown
The yard rule is in the zoning chapter, § 116-9, which governs accessory buildings and uses. Subsection B applies to residence districts and, in paragraph (2), bars commercial vehicles, house trailers, mobile homes, boats, boat trailers and similar equipment from three places: any front yard, any required side yard, and the area within 10 feet of any property line in a required rear yard. The Editor's Note attached to the paragraph sends readers to Chapter 105, Trailers, for further regulation of trailers within the Village.
A second zoning limit sits in § 116-14(F), the supplemental regulations for private garages and off-street parking areas in residence districts. Paragraph (2) allows not more than one commercial vehicle to be housed or parked in a private garage or off-street parking area, and that vehicle cannot exceed a gross motor vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or 25 feet in length.
On the street, the Chapter 110 rules work by sign and schedule. Section 110-24 provides that no parking of trucks or commercial vehicles is permitted between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on Village streets designated by signs. Section 110-21(E) defines a "no parking--commercial" location as one where parking of commercial vehicles is prohibited at all times or during the hours indicated. Schedule L in § 110-43 also lists limited-parking entries for commercial vehicles only, such as 90 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday on Gin Lane (North) between South Main Street and Little Plains Road, an entry added 5-14-2026 by L.L. No. 7-2026.
In Village public parking lots, § 110-22(B) bars commercial vehicles, vehicles bearing commercial registration plates, buses, trailers, boats and recreational vehicles between 12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m. It defines commercial vehicles as those used principally for transporting goods, wares, supplies, materials, merchandise or passengers or for any paid service, regardless of state registration classification.
Violations & Fines
A yard violation under Chapter 116 falls on the owner, the lessee or tenant, and anyone who takes part in or assists the violation, under § 116-40(A). Section 116-40(B) sends the penalty to Article II of Chapter 1 of the Village Code. On the street, a Schedule L violation carries a $75 fine, or $150 where the street entry is marked with an asterisk, under § 110-4(B). A vehicle parked where parking is prohibited can be removed by the Police Department at the owner's cost under § 110-28(A).
