Spokane County's zoning code does not set a specific residential commercial-vehicle parking ban. Off-street parking must be permanently available and kept for parking only, and outdoor storage of equipment tied to a business is regulated through the nuisance and zoning standards.
The county Zoning Code (Chapter 14.802) requires that all off-street parking areas 'be made permanently available to the customers of the use on the site and maintained for parking purposes only,' and that required parking facilities 'not be used for product display, automobile sales, storage, and/or repair work.' There is no dedicated ordinance capping the size or number of commercial trucks a resident may park at a home; instead, business-related outdoor storage and any inoperable commercial vehicle fall under the SCC 6.13 nuisance rules and the home-occupation standards. Commercial-zone storage must be enclosed or behind sight-obscuring fencing and out of front/flanking yards.
Business storage or junk commercial vehicles maintained as a nuisance draw a $250/day penalty plus abatement (SCC 6.13.070).
