For the purposes of this Chapter the following terms shall be
deemed to have the meaning indicated below:
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
Any vehicle classified as one (1) ton or more and used in
whole or in part for commercial purposes.
[Ord. No. 17-2018, 5-7-2018]
A. No
person shall operate a commercial vehicle licensed or registered for
or weighing more than eighty thousand (80,000) pounds gross weight
on any City street, highway or roadway. To provide adequate notice
to the public, signs bearing the legend: "No Commercial Vehicles Over
80,000 lbs." shall be posted on all streets entering the City.
B. For
any commercial vehicle licensed or registered for or weighing less
than eighty thousand (80,000) pounds gross weight:
1. No person shall park a commercial vehicle on any street, highway
or roadway in the City, unless a commercial vehicle is actively being
loaded or unloading a delivery.
2. Unless a commercial vehicle is actively being loading or unloading
a delivery, no person shall operate a commercial vehicle on any City
street, highway or roadway designated in Schedule V, Table V-A, except
for the designated commercial vehicle route designated in Schedule
V, Table V-B.
3. 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.
C. No
person shall operate for a commercial vehicle transporting explosive,
corrosive, hazardous materials, and flammable liquid and gas carriers
and any vehicles required to display placards, on any City street,
highway or roadway designated in Schedule V, Table V-A, except for
the designated commercial vehicle route designated in Schedule V,
Table V-B.
D. Violation
of this Section shall be punishable on conviction by a fine not to
exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
