Full Breakdown
Section 10.08.140(A) bars parking 'any vehicle, loaded or unloaded, licensed as a commercial vehicle, or used for commercial purposes without being so licensed, which has an unladed weight in excess of 10,000 pounds' on any street in a residential neighborhood, zoned R-1, R-2, N-P, T or R-M under subsection C, except vehicles the Vehicle Code exempts from local regulation (§§ 22507.5, 22512) or an on-call tow vehicle designated under § 10.04.030. A companion section, § 10.08.150, reaches private property: pursuant to § 9.04.030(B)(14) of the City Code, parking a commercial truck over 10,000 pounds unladen on property zoned residential (R-1, R-2, N-P, T, R-M or P-D) or commercial (C-1, CBD, C-2 or C-H) is declared a nuisance, unless the parking is on commercial property adjacent to a street where commercial truck traffic is not limited under § 10.08.230(C) or (D), is a regularly scheduled pickup or delivery for an approved construction project, is incidental to the property's permitted land use, or the truck is an on-call tow vehicle.
Both sections trace to Prior Code §§ 14-6-13 and 14-6-14 and sit in Chapter 10.08, enforced citywide by the Woodland Police Department and, for the nuisance clause, Community Development code enforcement.
Violations & Fines
Parking a commercial vehicle over 10,000 pounds unladen on a residential street violates § 10.08.140(A); parking the same size truck on residential or commercial property outside the listed exceptions is a declared nuisance under § 10.08.150. Both are enforced by the Woodland Police Department and Community Development code enforcement as citations or nuisance abatement.
