Summary
Wyoming, Michigan bars parking or storing any vehicle over three-quarters-ton load capacity that isn't primarily a passenger vehicle outdoors in a residential district, except while actively loading or unloading. Sec. 90-315 treats buses as commercial vehicles too, but carves out school buses at a school facility and church-owned buses parked in a church lot.
A vehicle exceeding three-quarters ton load capacity and not primarily intended for private passenger use may not be parked or stored outdoors in residential districts, except for loading or unloading. For purposes of this section, a bus shall be considered a commercial vehicle except for school buses, which are exempted from this section when parked or stored at a school or other school facility and except for buses owned or leased by churches which are parked in the church lot.

Full Breakdown
Wyoming Zoning Ordinance Sec. ' That threshold catches full-size work trucks, box trucks, and similar equipment that residents might otherwise keep at home between jobs; only the moment of actively loading or unloading cargo is exempt from the ban, so overnight or day-to-day parking of a qualifying vehicle in a driveway or yard is not allowed. The section separately defines a bus as a commercial vehicle for these purposes, which would otherwise sweep in vehicles used for group transport, but then carves out two exceptions: school buses parked or stored at a school or other school facility, and buses owned or leased by a church and parked in the church's own lot.
Because the rule is keyed to load capacity rather than a vehicle's registration class, a contractor's pickup rated above three-quarters ton, a dump truck, or a delivery van can all fall under the ban even if the owner lives at the residence where it would be parked. 22), with no ordinance amendments recorded in the code reviewed.
Violations & Fines
Parking or storing a qualifying commercial vehicle in a residential district beyond active loading or unloading is a municipal civil infraction under the Code's general penalty, Sec. 1-26: $75 for a first offense, $500 for a second offense within a year, and $2,500 for any subsequent offense, with each day the vehicle remains parked treated as a separate violation.
