Commercial vehicle parking in Wyoming, MI is regulated by the Chapter 90 Zoning Ordinance on private property and by Chapter 78 (Traffic and Vehicles) - which adopts the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code - on city streets. The Zoning Ordinance generally limits storage of commercial vehicles in residential districts, while the state framework at MCL 257.674 sets the citywide prohibited-parking setbacks (hydrants, crosswalks, stop signs, signals, railroad crossings) that apply to commercial vehicles too. The City's Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) applies to commercial vehicles parked on the street during winter.
The Wyoming Chapter 90 Zoning Ordinance restricts where commercial vehicles - typically defined to include vehicles with commercial plates, heavy trucks, and tractor-trailers - may be parked or stored on residentially-zoned property. The Zoning Ordinance generally requires that commercial vehicles in residential districts be parked inside an enclosed building, with limited exceptions for small service-type vehicles parked on a legal driveway. Active delivery, pickup or service runs to a residence are permitted for the duration of the work. On the street, the City has adopted Chapter 78 of the Code (Traffic and Vehicles), which incorporates the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code for Cities, Townships and Villages by reference; that code in turn pulls in MCL 257.674 (Michigan Vehicle Code, Act 300 of 1949) setting the prohibited-parking distances: within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk (or 15 feet of an intersection without a crosswalk), within 30 feet of the approach to a flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic-control signal, within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing, and within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to a fire station (75 feet on the opposite side if marked). The Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) applies citywide to all vehicles December 1 through March 31. The Wyoming Department of Public Safety enforces traffic and parking violations.
Storing a commercial vehicle in violation of the Chapter 90 Zoning Ordinance residential rules is a zoning violation enforceable by the Wyoming Planning and Zoning Division with notice of violation and municipal civil-infraction tickets. Parking a commercial vehicle on the street in violation of MCL 257.674 setbacks or in violation of the Odd-Even Parking Ordinance (Ord. 7-24) is a civil infraction enforceable by the Wyoming Department of Public Safety, with $30 fines under Ord. 7-24 and ticket-plus-tow remedies for setback violations.
