Full Breakdown
Wylie Code of Ordinances § 110-186 sets four separate parking bans aimed at oversized and commercial traffic. Subsection (a) prohibits parking any vehicle, trailer or combination exceeding 25 feet in length on any street, alley or other public way in the city, full stop, with no residential-district qualifier attached to that particular limit. Subsection (b) then narrows the focus to commercial vehicles under 25 feet: they may not park in residential districts at all, exclusive of ordinary passenger cars, unless they are parked on private property with the consent of the property owner, so a delivery van or work truck cannot simply sit on a residential street overnight even if it is short enough to dodge the length limit.
Hazardous-materials vehicles get the strictest treatment. Under subsections (c) and (d), a vehicle containing hazardous materials cannot park anywhere within a residential district, or within 1,000 feet of one, and cannot park on any street, alley or public way in the city at all, meaning the only legal parking for such a load is private property. Subsection (e) confines that private-property parking to industrial districts, and subsection (f) borrows its definition of hazardous materials from Ordinance No. 93-18 as it may be amended. Subsection (g) backs the whole section with the city's impounding authority: any vehicle parked in violation of § 110-186 is subject to impoundment under § 110-172, on top of whatever other fine the general Code penalty at § 1-13 imposes as a Chapter 110 traffic offense.
Violations & Fines
Parking a vehicle, trailer or combination over 25 feet long on any street or alley, parking a shorter commercial vehicle in a residential district without the property owner's consent, or parking a hazardous-materials vehicle anywhere but an industrial-district private lot, violates § 110-186. Any offending vehicle is subject to impoundment under § 110-172, in addition to a fine under the general Code penalty at § 1-13, a Class C misdemeanor for this Chapter 110 traffic offense.
