Sunnyvale, CA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

160 targets heavy commercial vehicles parked in residential districts rather than commercial parking generally. The threshold is weight, not vehicle type: any commercial vehicle of 'ten thousand pounds or more' is covered, but the section expressly carves out a 'pick-up truck, station wagon or similar vehicle of a size similar to an ordinary passenger vehicle,' so an ordinary work pickup is not swept in even if used commercially. A covered vehicle cannot be parked in a residential district for more than five hours, with two narrow exceptions: subsection (a) allows extra time beyond the five hours while the vehicle is actually loading or unloading property and additional time is necessary to finish that work, and subsection (b) allows extra time when the vehicle is parked in connection with, and in aid of, a service being performed on a property in the same block, again only for as long as reasonably necessary to complete that service. 5 procedures, rather than through the infraction or misdemeanor track that covers most of Title 10.
