For
any commercial vehicle licensed or registered for or weighing less

1.Â
No person shall park a commercial vehicle on any street, highway

Upon application therefore by a City property owner, the Director
of Public Works may grant, at no cost to the applicant, a twenty-four
(24) hour permit authorizing the parking of such vehicle on the City
property owner's lot, upon a finding that such parking would not endanger
public health or safety or constitute a nuisance to adjoining property
or residents thereof or visitors thereto and would be consistent with
good planning practices. In making such determination the Director
of Public Works shall take into consideration the zoning and uses
of adjacent properties, giving special attention to any residential
uses, public facilities, public access areas, and traffic concerns.
In issuing any permit the Director of Public Works may impose such
conditions and restrictions, including restrictions as to areas in
which parking is permitted and screening requirements, as may be appropriate
in light of the various factors considered. When parking of vehicles
is permitted or authorized under this Subsection, such vehicles shall
be parked only on an approved surface of concrete or asphalt.

Table V-B.
