A. 
No person shall operate, drive, use, park or place any commercial vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of six thousand pounds on any street, road or highway within the city, unless within the following exceptions:
1. 
When such commercial vehicle is being so operated on a state highway or on a designated unrestricted street (truck route) hereinafter set forth in this chapter;
2. 
If such commercial vehicle has a point of destination or a point of origin in the city, the same shall proceed over unrestricted streets as provided in this chapter.
B. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such a commercial vehicle may traverse streets restricted in respect to weight limits in order to proceed from a point of origin or a point of destination on a restricted street when such vehicle is kept, stored or maintained, or where the point of origin or destination is the place where goods, wares, merchandise or materials are to be or are picked up or delivered, all in accordance with Section 35703 of the Vehicle Code, but then only by such deviation from the nearest intersection of an unrestricted street or domicile of the operator of such a commercial vehicle used for or intended to be used for the storage or parking of such a vehicle shall not be considered a point of origin or destination for qualification under this exemption unless there is a pickup or delivery of such goods, wares, merchandise or materials to said residence, home or domicile, or unless the same is zoned for C-M, C-G, I-L or I-G uses.
C. 
The provisions of this section shall not apply to passenger buses under the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, or any passenger stage corporation or vehicle subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 1031 through 1036, inclusive, of the Public Utilities Code, or to any emergency vehicle such as a police, fire, ambulance or private ambulance.
D. 
The provisions of this section shall not apply to any vehicle owned by a public utility or a licensed contractor while necessarily in use in the construction, installation or repair of any public utility.
E. 
The provisions of this section shall not apply to recreational vehicles or camper-type vehicles, as defined in Section 243 of the California Vehicle Code.
(Prior code § 3370)
All streets other than those designated hereinafter as unrestricted streets are found by the city council to be so constructed as to constitute the same restricted streets necessitating the imposition of gross-weight limits in respect to the use of such streets, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 10.56.010. No provision of this chapter, however, in respect to such gross-weight limits shall be applicable unless and until appropriate signs are erected and maintained indicating those streets which are so restricted.
(Prior code § 3371)
A. 
The city council finds that the designation of the following streets as unrestricted streets or through-passage truck routes will adequately protect the public health, safety and welfare, and will reasonably provide through truck passage for commercial vehicles in excess of ten thousand pounds through the city. Any legal conforming or non-conforming business shall continue to be allowed the use of the streets formerly designated as a truck route. City vehicles shall be exempt from this provision.
B. 
The city council does therefore designate the following streets as unrestricted or truck routes within the city:

(Ord. 925 § 1, 1999; Ord. 939 § 1, 2000; Ord. 945 § 1, 2000; Ord. 1002 § 1, 2003)
A. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.56.010 through 10.56.040 of this chapter, upon application in writing, the license and permit hearing board may, in its discretion if good cause appears therefor, issue a special permit in writing authorizing the applicant to operate the commercial or excess-weight vehicle on restricted streets under such conditions and for such period of time as deemed necessary by the license and permit hearing board, providing the following findings are made:
1. 
There are unusual conditions or hardships which justify the issuance of a permit which do not apply to other or similar vehicles;
2. 
There are no continuing objections to the issuance of a permit from any affected property owner;
3. 
The applicant complies at all times with all terms and provisions of the permit and traverses only over those restricted streets as set forth in the permit.
B. 
The license and permit hearing board may revoke any permit issued under this section, provided there has been deposited in the mail to the applicant, at his or her last known address, written notice of the time and place where the license and permit hearing board will consider revocation of the permit, such notice being so deposited in the mail at least five days prior to the hearing. The permit may be revoked for violation of the terms and provisions thereof, or upon a finding by the license and permit hearing board that the conditions authorizing the original granting of the permit no longer exist, or any one of them.
