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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a resident park a work truck in the driveway overnight?
Only if it fits within the size limits in § 13.24.040(E)(2): under twenty four feet long and eight feet tall, it must stay at least ten feet back from the sidewalk; taller or longer trucks must go in the side or rear yard, and anything over ten feet tall or thirty feet long can't be parked on the lot at all.
How many commercial vehicles can be kept at one house?
Just one. Section 13.24.040(E)(2)(d) limits residential lots to a single commercial vehicle, and it must be owned or apportioned by someone who actually lives at that residence, not simply parked there for an outside business or another party.
Can a semi-truck park at a Taylorsville home?
No. Section 13.24.040(E)(2)(a)(5) bars semi-tractors, trailers and trucks from residential lots outright, regardless of size restrictions that apply to smaller commercial vehicles, and none may be stored in the street right of way either.
