Parking or storing of any commercial vehicle in any residential district, other than in accordance with the restrictions of this section, for a period longer than to load or unload or to render a service, shall be considered a business use and not a residential use, and shall not be allowed at any single-family dwelling, except as follows:
A. One panel or cargo van that is privately owned and registered to the owner of the premises (or to the owner's employer) and having a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) (as defined in the Illinois Vehicle Code) of ten thousand (10,000) pounds or less may be parked upon a driveway serving a single- family dwelling and need not be parked within a completely enclosed garage, provided that such vehicle does not display lettering or logos or have removable equipment or merchandise, in either case, that is visible beyond the property line.
B. One commercial vehicle that is privately owned and registered to the owner of the premises and that does not satisfy the exception in subsection A of this section, may be parked within a completely enclosed garage; provided, however, such vehicle need not be enclosed and may be parked upon the driveway serving a single-family dwelling, if the commercial vehicle is screened with fencing or landscaping that achieves at least ninety percent (90%) opacity in all seasons. Screening with landscaping or fencing shall be situated to block the view of such vehicle in all seasons from the vantage point of first floor rooms, decks and patios of neighboring residences looking across their side and rear yards. The height of the fence, when used for screening a commercial vehicle, shall comply with the provisions of this Code regulating such fences. Any fencing used for screening shall not have a roof or any other permanent structure covering the top that would convert this screening into a building in violation of building codes.
C. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, no commercial vehicle shall be parked or stored on a single- family property if its gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) exceeds fourteen thousand (14,000) pounds. (Ord. 15-08-14, 8-4-2015)
