Oversized commercial and heavy vehicles cannot be parked or stored in residential neighborhoods in Clayton County cities. Forest Park allows them to park overnight or in storage only in industrial zoning districts.
Clayton County cities channel oversized and heavy vehicles away from homes. Forest Park bans heavy and commercial vehicles from residential districts (except active loading/unloading) and permits their overnight parking or storage only in industrial zoning districts; heavy vehicles are also barred from parking decks anywhere in the city. Storing vehicle parts or hauled materials on a residential lot is likewise prohibited. Recreational oversized vehicles such as motorhomes fall under the separate RV rear-yard rule. For unincorporated areas, Clayton County's zoning ordinance sets the applicable district limits. Standard passenger vehicles and light pickups are not restricted as oversized.
Parking an oversized or heavy vehicle outside a permitted industrial district is a zoning violation; enforcement is by citation with daily fines until the vehicle is moved.
