Bellflower, California Municipal Code
Title 10 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC
Chapter 10.12 STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING
10.12.080 Parking of Trailers on Public Streets.
A. For purposes of this section:
1. "Trailer" means a non-motorized vehicle. However, the definition of "trailer" does not include recreational vehicles or recreational trailers as defined in Section 10.12.070 of this Code.
2. A "moving trailer" means a fully enclosed trailer that is validly registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles and is either: (a) owned by a certified moving company that is providing moving services to the occupants of real property adjacent the location of the trailer; or (b) is owned or rented by an occupant of real property immediately adjacent the location of the trailer and is being or will be used for moving purposes by that occupant.
B. It is unlawful for any person to park any trailer at any time on any street unless that trailer is attached to a motorized vehicle.
C. It is unlawful for any person to park any trailer on any street between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., unless the trailer is a moving trailer, and:
1. The trailer is actually and continuously being loaded or unloaded;
2. The trailer is parked because its presence is related to, and assisting with, the performance of a service to, or on, property located in the block where the trailer is parked. However, the moving trailer may only remain parked for the period of time reasonably necessary to complete the service; Or
3. The City Manager, or designee, issued a permit in accordance with this section for overnight on-street parking and the parked trailer is fully complying with that permit. A moving trailer must comply with any parking regulations that affect public safety, including restrictions on parking on a red curb or adjacent to a fire hydrant. However, a moving trailer with a proper permit need not comply with parking regulations related to street sweeping, or other regulations which are unrelated to public safety.
D. The City Manager may issue a permit to any resident or owner of land within the City for overnight on-street parking of a moving trailer within three hundred (300) feet of that person's residence or land, for a period not exceeding seventy-two (72) consecutive hours at any one (1) time. The permit must be prominently displayed on the moving trailer at all times when the moving trailer is being parked on a street.
