Full Breakdown
Section 13.24.040(E) governs commercial vehicles parked at a Taylorsville residence, applying a stricter version of the recreational vehicle rule in the same section. Paragraph (E)(1) requires a commercial vehicle to be located in the rear or side yard, and it may only sit in the front yard if natural topography or property boundaries make a rear or side location physically impossible. Paragraph (E)(2) then layers size-based restrictions on top of the yard requirement. A commercial vehicle under twenty four feet long and under eight feet tall can't come closer than ten feet to the back edge of the sidewalk or the public right of way.
One between eight and ten feet tall and under thirty feet long must go in the side or rear yard specifically. Anything over ten feet tall or longer than thirty feet cannot be parked on a residential lot at all, and semi-tractors, trailers and trucks are barred outright regardless of size. Corner lots must meet the same standards on both frontages and cannot intrude into the sight visibility triangle. Only one commercial vehicle is permitted per residential lot under § 13.24.040(E)(2)(d), and it must be owned or apportioned by a resident who actually lives at the property, not a business tenant or a neighbor.
Storage beyond seventy two consecutive hours is prohibited under § 13.24.040(E)(2)(e) unless the owner is genuinely and temporarily away. Enforcement is shared between the police department and Community Development under § 13.24.040(F), and because the rule is part of the Title 13 land development code, a violation is a class C misdemeanor under § 13.02.010(C).
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the size limits, parking more than one commercial vehicle, or storing one past seventy two hours under § 13.24.040(E) is enforced by both the police department and Community Development under § 13.24.040(F). Because Chapter 13.24 is part of the Title 13 land development code, a violation is a class C misdemeanor under § 13.02.010(C), with each day of continued violation a separate offense.
