(1) 
It shall be unlawful for any resident or any owner, agent, operator, or person in charge of any bus, semi-trailer, trailer, motor truck, tractor, and/or truck tractor or any vehicle having a commercial registration plate and a gross vehicle weight of more than 15,000 pounds to park, store, or keep such motor vehicle on any residential property, or on any public street, avenue, alley, or other thoroughfare, or any right-of-way in any residential zoning district for a period in excess of one hour unless engaged in legitimate loading or unloading activities or related to work actually being performed upon a resident's property.
(2) 
It shall be unlawful for any resident in any residential zoning district to park on, cause to be parked on, or allow to be parked on his or her residential property more than one vehicle of 15,000 pounds or less gross vehicle weight which is used for commercial purposes unless garaged entirely within a building.
