The proposed Amendment to the Zoning Code expressly permits the overnight parking of company vehicles in business districts as distinguished from outdoor storage of materials and /or equipment. Parking of commercial vehicles in business and industrial districts would be a permitted use provided that the following conditions are met: 1. Vehicles may have no more than two axles. 2. Vehicles must be licensed and operable on their own power. 3. Vehicle parking must be accessory use to a principal use on the site. 4.

Parking beyond that limitation would require a CUP. The Planner indicated that the ordinance amendment is similar to what his office sees in other communities.
