TO: City Council
REQUESTED BY: Travis Randel, Deputy City Manager, Development Services APPROVED BY: Robert A. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Historic Commercial Vehicle Parking Policy Discussion and Direction RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council provide policy direction on whether to:

1. Maintain the City’s Current Prohibition on the parking and storage of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential districts, regardless of historic status; OR

2. Direct Staff to Prepare an Ordinance creating a narrowly tailored exemption for historically registered commercial vehicles, including explicit Council direction on minimum lot sizes, setbacks, vehicle limitations, screening, and operational restrictions as outlined above.

Staff further recommends that, if Council desires to proceed with a carveout, such exemptions be strictly limited to large parcels and subject to significant mitigation measures to preserve the character and integrity of residential neighborhoods.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past several weeks, several members of the public have requested that the City Council consider revising its commercial vehicle parking requirements to carve out an exemption for historic commercial vehicles. The primary impetus for these requests stems from an active Code Enforcement case on a property on Ramona Blvd, where the property owner is currently storing more than one historically registered commercial semi-truck cab on-site. While this situation initiated the conversation, the focus of this staff report—and the corresponding City Council discussion—is on Citywide policy, rather than on the particulars of the property or the enforcement case itself.

The City’s regulations governing commercial vehicle parking are found primarily in two sections of the Municipal Code:

1. Title 10 – Vehicles and Traffic
Section 10.16.210 – Commercial Vehicles, last amended in 1997, broadly prohibits the parking of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential districts on public or private property, except for purposes of loading or unloading. The definition of "commercial vehicle" includes any vehicle or combination with a weight of 10,000 pounds or more, certain tire sizes, or use as a truck, tractor, or trailer for transporting goods.

2. Title 17 – Development Code
Chapter 17.330 – Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, specifically Section

5.2.d
Packet Pg. 425 Attachment: May 6 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial

17.330.040, further restricts the parking and storage of large trucks and commercial vehicles in residential zones, generally requiring such vehicles to be stored within an enclosed structure and prohibiting their presence in required parking areas or front yards.

Exceptions exist for temporary loading/unloading and for vehicles used in active construction or repair.

Neither Title 10 nor Title 17 currently distinguishes between historic and non-historic commercial vehicles. The City’s code is also silent on the unique characteristics or circumstances of historically registered commercial vehicles, regardless of their DMV designation or use. As such, the Municipal Code does not currently provide a definition for ‘historic commercial vehicle’ nor does it establish standards specific to their parking or storage.

Regulatory Background – California DMV Historic Vehicle Registration The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) provides special registration and license plates for historic vehicles (those at least 25 years old, of historic interest, and operated primarily for exhibition or historic club activities). These “Historical Vehicle” or “Horseless Carriage” license plates confer limited road privileges and a reduced registration fee, but do not alter the local zoning or parking restrictions that govern where these vehicles may be stored or parked.

Local agencies retain full authority to regulate where such vehicles may be stored or parked through zoning, development standards, and nuisance abatement ordinances.

For reference, below are several photos illustrating the range of historic commercial vehicles in question as well as a “modern” 2023 Semi-Truck Cab for comparison.

DISCUSSION:

Public Comments and Requests
In recent City Council meetings and through written correspondence, numerous public commenters have requested that the City consider a more permissive approach to the storage and parking of historically registered vehicles within residential neighborhoods. These commenters frequently highlight the cultural significance, collector value, and exhibition purposes associated with historic vehicles, emphasizing that such vehicles are often part of longstanding hobbies, restoration efforts, or participation in car shows and historic vehicle club activities.

A key argument presented by commenters is that historic vehicles, particularly those registered under special DMV “Historical Vehicle” or “Horseless Carriage” license plates, should be treated differently than ordinary commercial vehicles under City regulations. Several commenters referenced the City of Chino as an example of a community that has successfully adopted an ordinance accommodating the storage of historic commercial vehicles on residential properties.

Chino’s Approach
The City of Chino’s ordinance, codified as Chapter 8.75 of its Municipal Code, provides a framework for permitting the parking and storage of historic commercial vehicles within their Residential/Agricultural Zoning Districts (RD1 and RD2), subject to a series of specific requirements. These include:
• Current Historic Registration: Vehicles must display valid historic license plates and be currently registered as “historical vehicles” under California DMV rules. • Location Restrictions: Storage is only allowed within interior or street side yards and not in front yards or required front setbacks, reducing visual impacts from the street. • Condition and Restoration: Inoperative, wrecked, or dismantled historic vehicles are only permitted if they are undergoing active restoration, and limits are placed on both the number of such vehicles and the duration of restoration activities (generally no more than 365 days).
• Screening: All historic vehicles must be screened from public view to the greatest extent possible, utilizing buildings, decorative walls, fences, or landscaping, or must be stored within an enclosed garage.
• Driveway/Front Yard Parking: Temporary parking is allowed in driveways or paved front yard areas, with a strict limit of seventy-two hours and no encroachment over sidewalks or into the public right-of-way.
• Prohibition on Habitation or Storage: The vehicles cannot be occupied, used as a dwelling, or serve as storage containers.

For reference, the RD1 and RD2 Zones are low density Residential and Agricultural Zones which have a density range of up to 2 dwelling units / acre which is generally equivalent to the City of San Jacint’s RE – Residential Estate and RR – Rural Residential Zoning District. While these zones share similarities in density, their permitted uses, development patterns, and neighborhood contexts may differ between jurisdictions.

Chino’s ordinance is cited by public commenters as a model that balances neighborhood character concerns with respect for hobbyists and collectors. A full summary of Chino’s Chapter

8.75 is included as an attachment for reference.

Current City of San Jacinto Policy Considerations
The City of San Jacinto currently regulates the parking and storage of commercial vehicles primarily through Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) and Title 17 (Development Code) of its Municipal Code. Neither code section distinguishes between historic and non-historic commercial vehicles.

Title 10 broadly prohibits the parking of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential areas, except for temporary loading or unloading. Exceptions may only be granted in “extreme circumstances” for very limited durations.

Title 17 further restricts storage of trucks over eight feet in height or twenty feet in length in residential zones, generally requiring them to be stored in an enclosed structure. Additional restrictions apply to commercial vehicles, utility trailers, tractors, and inoperable vehicles.

Staff recognizes that the City’s commercial vehicle definition, last updated in 1997, is now outdated and could benefit from revision for clarity, consistency with current DMV practices, and ease of enforcement.

Does “Historic” Designation Change Neighborhood Impacts? A critical question for the Council to consider is whether a historic registration meaningfully changes the impact of a large commercial vehicle on the surrounding neighborhood. While historic vehicles often have cultural or collector value, their physical characteristics—and associated impacts—remain largely unchanged. Key considerations include:
• Visual Impact: Large historic commercial vehicles, such as semi-truck cabs, create the same visual impact as modern equivalents, particularly when parked outdoors in residential settings. Their size, scale, and prominence often contrast sharply with the character of residential neighborhoods.
• Noise and Traffic: The use, maintenance, and movement of these vehicles may generate similar, if not greater, noise, vibration, and traffic safety concerns compared to modern vehicles, regardless of registration status.

Packet Pg. 430 Attachment: May 6 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial • Neighborhood Character: The presence of large commercial vehicles—historic or not—may be fundamentally incompatible with the scale and residential feel of most neighborhoods, especially in subdivisions with small lot sizes and limited setbacks. • Enforcement and Equity: Differentiating between historic and non-historic commercial vehicles could complicate code enforcement and raise concerns about fairness, particularly as more vehicles become eligible for historic status over time. Such distinctions could also create perceptions of preferential treatment or inconsistency in the application of the City's zoning regulations.
• Potential Emissions and Noise Impacts: Vehicles registered as historic may not be required to comply with certain modern emissions or retrofit standards, depending on their model year and use classification. As a result, some historic commercial vehicles may operate with older, louder engines, less effective emission controls, and noisier components, such as vintage air brake systems. These factors could contribute to greater noise, air quality, and neighborhood disturbance concerns compared to modern commercial vehicles. Additionally, many historic vehicles were manufactured prior to the establishment of California’s current vehicular noise standards, potentially making them louder and more intrusive in residential areas.

Lot Size and Zoning Context
The City of Chino’s ordinance allowing limited storage of historic commercial vehicles applies within its RD1 and RD2 zoning districts, which are characterized by low-density residential and rural/agricultural development patterns. The RD2 zone, in particular, allows for a residential density of up to 2 dwelling units per acre, making it functionally comparable to San Jacinto’s RR (Residential Rural) zoning district. Both zones support semi-rural development patterns with larger lots, greater setbacks, and allowances for accessory structures and animal keeping.

In San Jacinto, the RR zone is intended to accommodate detached single-family dwellings in a semi-rural setting, along with appropriate accessory structures, limited agricultural uses, and animal keeping. The RR zone allows a maximum density of 2.0 dwelling units per gross acre, which typically results in larger parcels and more open space than what is found in standard suburban neighborhoods. However, while the RR zone allows for more spacious development, parcel sizes within the zone vary significantly across the City, with some lots comprising multiple acres and others closer in size to suburban parcels. In many locations, RR-zoned properties directly abut RL (Residential Low Density) zones, which allow for 2.1 to 7.0 dwelling units per gross acre and represent more traditional suburban residential development patterns with smaller lots and higher housing density.

This interface between rural and suburban zones creates an important policy consideration. Any future amendments to the City’s regulations regarding the parking or storage of historic commercial vehicles in residential areas—particularly those applicable to the RR zone—should take into account the diversity of lot sizes and the potential for impacts to cross zoning boundaries. Issues such as visibility, noise, and land use compatibility do not stop at the property line and may affect adjacent residential neighborhoods.

Packet Pg. 431 Attachment: May 6 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial As such, while the RR zone provides a logical starting point for evaluating any potential exemption (given its similarity to Chino’s RD2 zone), any policy framework should be carefully tailored to San Jacinto’s unique development patterns and community expectations.

Precedent and Future Requests
Granting an exemption for historic commercial vehicles may set a precedent that could prompt requests for additional exceptions for other types of large commercial vehicles, such as buses, cargo trucks, or specialty heavy vehicles. Expanding exceptions in this manner could erode the intent of the City’s residential zoning standards and create ongoing enforcement and compatibility challenges.

Additionally, distinguishing between historic and non-historic commercial vehicles of similar size and use could be viewed as arbitrary, making consistent enforcement more difficult and increasing the risk of disputes. While the California DMV’s historic registration program is intended to support exhibition and hobbyist activities, it does not supersede local zoning or parking regulations. The City retains full discretion to establish and enforce standards that protect neighborhood character and ensure compatibility with surrounding residential uses.

Options for Council Consideration
In response to these comments and considerations, staff has identified two primary options for City Council direction:

Option 1: Maintain Current Regulations
Continue enforcing the current municipal code provisions, which prohibit commercial vehicle parking or storage in or adjacent to residential areas regardless of the vehicle’s age or historic registration status. This approach preserves the original intent of residential zoning, maintains consistency in enforcement, and avoids potential neighborhood impacts.

Option 2: Prepare an Ordinance to Allow a Limited Exemption Direct staff to prepare an ordinance—or a set of ordinances—subject to City Council approval and Planning Commission review where applicable—to create a narrowly tailored exemption for historically registered commercial vehicles. If the City Council is interested in pursuing this approach, staff requests guidance on key policy parameters, including but not limited to:
• Minimum Lot Size: Should the exemption apply only to parcels exceeding a specific size, such as two acres, to mitigate potential impacts on adjacent residential properties? • Minimum Setbacks: Should substantial setbacks, such as 100 feet or more from all property lines, be required to reduce visibility, noise, and other nuisances affecting surrounding properties?
• Maximum Number of Vehicles: Should there be a cap on the total number of historic commercial vehicles that may be stored on a single parcel to prevent overconcentration? • Screening Requirements: Should vehicles be screened from public view using decorative walls, solid fencing, or dense landscaping to maintain neighborhood

Is this screening limited to visibility from rights-of-way or adjacent parcels? • Storage Location Restrictions: Should outdoor storage be limited to interior side yards or rear yards, with prohibitions against storage in front yards or required setback areas? • Time Limits for Outdoor Parking: Should historic commercial vehicles parked in driveways or front yard areas be subject to time restrictions (e.g., a maximum of 72 hours) similar to provisions for recreational vehicles? • Restoration and Maintenance Standards: Should vehicles that are not operable or actively being restored be restricted or subject to time limits to avoid prolonged visual blight?
• Noise and Operational Restrictions: Should vehicle operation, idling, loading, and maintenance activities be restricted to minimize disturbance to neighboring residential uses?
• Indoor Storage Exemption: Should historic commercial vehicles stored entirely within a fully enclosed, legally permitted building (such as a garage or barn) be exempt from additional setback, screening, or outdoor storage requirements? If the City Council directs staff to prepare ordinance amendments, it is important to note that amendments to Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Municipal Code would require only City Council review and approval. However, any amendments affecting Title 17 (Development Code)—such as changes to parking, storage, or setback standards—would require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission prior to final consideration by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the discussion of this item or with providing policy direction to staff. Should the Council direct staff to proceed, any related ordinance preparation will be completed using existing staff resources.

Hi Travis,
I’d like to go over the current draft of the Historical Vehicle Parking Ordinance, as I feel it is far too restrictive and places an unfair burden on property owners and historic vehicle collectors. This draft creates an unequal standard by targeting historical vehicles, while other types of personal or recreational vehicles — such as RVs, boats, and horse trailers — are not subjected to the same level of regulation.

Below are several proposed adjustments I believe would help make the ordinance more fair and reasonable for residents:

G. Historical Commercial Vehicles in Residential Zoning Exemption – To start, it's important to clarify that there is no legal category recognized by the DMV as a "historical commercial vehicle." All historic vehicles are registered as automobiles with a weight rating of zero, and they cannot be used for any commercial activity under current DMV guidelines.

G1i. Permit and Ancillary Fees
– I strongly oppose the imposition of ancillary fees or permits for storing historical vehicles on private property. This is a personal hobby and form of preservation — not a business. Requiring fees creates an unnecessary burden and unfairly targets this specific group of vehicle owners. RVs, boats, and trailers are not subject to such charges, and historic vehicles should not be either.

G1iv. Parcel Size / Vehicle Count
– I respectfully request that the allowance be adjusted to permit two historic vehicles per acre. This would reasonably accommodate the four historic trucks I currently own and maintain, while still providing a scale-based limit tied to parcel size.

5.2.e
Packet Pg. 481 Attachment: Comments on Historic Vehicle Parking Ordinance (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 2 G1ix. Parking Surface Requirements
– I ask that parking on rock or gravel be recognized as an acceptable surface for historic vehicle storage.

These are stable, low-impact materials that offer practical and environmentally reasonable alternatives to pavement.

G1xi. Screening and Inspections
– These vehicles are stored on private property, and as such, should not be subject to periodic or unannounced inspections. I believe this could violate Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.
– I am willing to shield the vehicles as reasonably possible using existing fences or buildings. However, I do not support any mandate for total visual obstruction or ongoing compliance inspections for a personal hobby that does not pose a public hazard.

G2. City Registration and Zoning Clearance
– I respectfully oppose the requirement to register historic vehicles with the City’s Community Development Department or to obtain Zoning Clearance prior to parking them on one’s own land. – This requirement is excessive and not consistent with how other personal vehicles are regulated. To my knowledge, no surrounding cities impose this level of review for similar non-commercial vehicle storage.

Requiring site plans, parcel verification, and documentation for property use adds unnecessary red tape and feels like government overreach.

If the ordinance can be revised to be more reasonable in these key areas, I believe we can achieve a fair balance that maintains neighborhood standards while also respecting the rights and interests of vehicle collectors and hobbyists.

I appreciate your time and would be happy to discuss further.

Best regards,
Max Barry

TO: City Council
REQUESTED BY: Travis Randel, Deputy City Manager, Development Services APPROVED BY: Robert A. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction of Ordinance No. 25-07
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 25-07 entitled:

An Ordinance of the City of San Jacinto Amending Section

10.16.210 (Commercial Vehicles) of Chapter 16 (Parking and Traffic Control) of Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the San Jacinto Municipal Code, Relating to the Regulation of Commercial Vehicle Parking and the Establishment of a Limited Exemption for Historic Commercial Vehicles.

BACKGROUND:

On May 6, 2025, the City Council considered a staff report regarding the potential for a narrowly tailored exemption to the City’s existing restrictions on commercial vehicle parking in residential areas. The report was prompted by several recent public comments as well as an ongoing Code Enforcement case involving a property on Ramona Boulevard where historically registered commercial vehicles—specifically vintage semi-truck cabs—were being stored on-site. While the enforcement case served as a catalyst for the discussion, the Council’s deliberation was centered on broader, citywide policy considerations.

Under current municipal code provisions—specifically Section 10.16.210 of Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic)—the parking or storage of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential areas is prohibited, with limited exceptions for temporary loading or unloading. These provisions apply regardless of a vehicle’s age, use, or DMV registration status. In particular, the Municipal Code does not currently define or recognize “historic commercial vehicles” as a distinct category, and no exemption or accommodation exists for vehicles registered under the California DMV’s Historic Vehicle program.

Public commenters have argued that such vehicles, while technically commercial in classification, serve a fundamentally different function when registered as historic: they are not used for daily hauling or business purposes but are instead restored, preserved, and operated for cultural and exhibition purposes. In supporting this position, several speakers pointed to cities like Chino that have adopted ordinances allowing historic commercial vehicles to be stored on larger residential or rural properties under strict conditions.

Following Council discussion, staff was directed to return with an ordinance modeled in part on the City of Chino’s approach, but adapted to reflect San Jacinto’s unique development patterns,

5.2.f
Packet Pg. 485 Attachment: August 19, 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial parcel sizes, and neighborhood context. Council direction emphasized that any exemption must include robust safeguards to prevent incompatible uses in standard residential zones and must ensure protection of neighborhood character, visual aesthetics, and land use compatibility.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed ordinance represents a comprehensive update to Section 10.16.210 of the San Jacinto Municipal Code. It preserves the City’s baseline prohibition on the parking or storage of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential districts, with limited exceptions for temporary loading and unloading, but introduces a new exemption that specifically authorizes the storage of certain historic commercial vehicles under defined circumstances.

The exemption is available only to vehicles that are properly registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles as Historic Commercial Vehicles and display the appropriate license plates. To ensure that such vehicles are stored in a manner consistent with community expectations and rural land use patterns, the exemption is limited to properties located in the Residential Rural (RR) zoning district. This zone was selected because of its larger lot sizes, lower density, and greater capacity to accommodate larger vehicles without materially impacting surrounding parcels.

To be eligible, parcels must consist of at least one acre of land, and only one historic commercial vehicle may be stored per acre. Vehicles must be parked a minimum of fifty feet from any property line that abuts another residential parcel and must not be visible from any public rightof-way. The ordinance prohibits storage in front yards, setback areas, and street-side yards, and allows temporary driveway parking only under very limited circumstances for maintenance or transport preparation.

Vehicles stored under this provision may not be used for habitation, business operations, or storage of goods. Inoperative or unrestored vehicles are permitted only if undergoing active, continuous restoration, with a one-vehicle limit and a maximum restoration period of one year.

All vehicles must be screened from public view to the maximum extent feasible, and the City reserves the right to inspect the site for compliance. To further support enforcement, all eligible vehicles must be registered with the City’s Community Development Department and be accompanied by documentation of DMV registration, parcel size, and a site plan showing the vehicle location.

The proposed ordinance was developed with an emphasis on enforceability, fairness, and compatibility. It strikes a balance between the interests of vintage vehicle collectors and the community’s broader interest in maintaining the residential character of neighborhoods. The ordinance does not alter development standards under Title 17 and therefore does not require Planning Commission review.

In addition to creating the historic commercial vehicle exemption, staff also used this update as an opportunity to clarify and refine the definition of “commercial vehicle” within the Municipal Code. The existing definition was so broad that it technically encompassed certain larger personal-use pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, and similar vehicles owned and operated by individuals for non-commercial purposes. This created both enforcement challenges and

5.2.f
Packet Pg. 486 Attachment: August 19, 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial unnecessary restrictions for residents whose vehicles do not pose the kinds of land use, aesthetic, or operational impacts that the ordinance was intended to address.

The revised definition draws a clearer distinction between true commercial vehicles and larger personal-use vehicles. Under the updated language, a “commercial vehicle” is defined primarily by its design, manufacture, or use for transporting goods, tools, equipment, or passengers for hire or in furtherance of a business enterprise. Key characteristics include the presence of commercial markings, specialized equipment or modifications, or a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) above a specified threshold. Personal-use trucks or SUVs without such markings or equipment are excluded, even if they exceed standard passenger vehicle dimensions.

The updated definition also recognizes the practical needs of small and home-based businesses by carving out specific allowances for certain smaller commercial vehicles that do not create the same impacts as large trucks or heavy equipment. These include service vans and pickup trucks used for trades such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, landscaping, pest control, appliance repair, and mobile locksmithing, provided they meet established size, noise, and appearance standards and are operated in compliance with the City’s home occupation regulations.

By tightening the definition, the ordinance better aligns regulation with the original policy intent, reduces unnecessary enforcement actions, and provides residents with greater clarity about what types of vehicles are subject to regulation. This approach supports the City’s goals of protecting neighborhood character, promoting fairness in enforcement, and recognizing the contribution of small business operators to the local economy.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

While the subject ordinance is not a public hearing item, staff, as a courtesy, provided a copy of the draft ordinance to the property owner whose code enforcement case initiated the discussion of a potential amendment. The property owner submitted written feedback, which is included as an attachment to this report.

The comments express concern that the draft ordinance is overly restrictive compared to how other personal or recreational vehicles—such as RVs, boats, and horse trailers—are regulated, and suggest several substantive changes. These include eliminating the requirement for City registration, removing associated fees, increasing the allowable number of historic commercial vehicles per acre, modifying parking surface requirements to allow parking on dirt, reducing screening expectations, and eliminating inspections.

Staff has carefully reviewed each of these suggestions. The City Council, when directing staff to prepare the amendment, specifically requested that it include a registration process. While staff initially considered an annual registration process similar to a business license, the proposed ordinance utilizes the City’s existing Zoning Clearance procedure set forth in the Development Code. This approach achieves the same purpose—verifying eligibility, location, and compliance—without creating a new regulatory framework or requiring annual renewals. The Zoning Clearance process is already subject to a City Council approved fee, established through the User Fee Study, to cover the staff time necessary to review applications, supporting documents, and site conditions.

Packet Pg. 487 Attachment: August 19, 2025 City Council Staff Report (Introduction of Revised Ordinance No. 25-07 to Amend Section 10.16.210 (Commercial With respect to vehicle quantity, the ordinance is intended to allow for incidental and hobby use of historic commercial vehicles in the Residential Rural zone, not to enable large-scale storage.

Increasing the allowance from one vehicle per acre to two would double the permitted capacity.

In the case of the commenting property owner, whose two parcels total nearly 4.5 acres, this change would expand the limit from four vehicles to eight, which is inconsistent with the Council’s intent to maintain the residential character of the area.

Regarding parking surfaces, the City does not permit parking of vehicles on dirt. The ordinance requires vehicles to be parked or stored on a paved surface or an alternative all-weather surface approved by the Community Development Director or designee. Acceptable surfaces include concrete, asphalt, or other engineered materials capable of supporting the vehicle’s weight without rutting, erosion, or environmental degradation. Gravel or similar materials may be considered for approval if they meet these performance standards, and would need to be specified in the Zoning Clearance application.

For screening and inspections, the ordinance requires that vehicles be screened from public view to the maximum extent feasible, which may be achieved through buildings, landscaping, fences, or walls. Inspections are a necessary enforcement tool to ensure ongoing compliance with the conditions of approval. The Zoning Clearance process explicitly authorizes such inspections, which are essential to preserving the balance between allowing historic commercial vehicles as a hobby and protecting the surrounding neighborhood’s character.

Based on this review, staff finds that the concerns raised are addressed within the proposed framework, and that the ordinance as presented already reflects the policy direction given by the City Council. Therefore, staff does not recommend any changes to the draft ordinance in response to these comments.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed ordinance has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff recommends that the City Council finds that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA under Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA.

In addition, the ordinance qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The ordinance does not authorize new development, grading, or construction, nor does it modify land use designations, zoning entitlements, or density. Instead, it creates a narrowly tailored exemption for a limited number of historic commercial vehicles on qualifying residential rural parcels, along with clarifying updates to the definition of “commercial vehicle.”
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund resulting from the adoption of this ordinance. The processing of vehicle registrations and any associated site plan reviews will be handled by

TO: City Council
REQUESTED BY: Travis Randel, Deputy City Manager, Development Services APPROVED BY: Robert A. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Historic Commercial Vehicle Parking Policy Discussion and Direction RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council provide policy direction on whether to:

1. Maintain the City’s Current Prohibition on the parking and storage of commercial vehicles in or adjacent to residential districts, regardless of historic status; OR

BACKGROUND:

The City’s regulations governing commercial vehicle parking are found primarily in two sections of the Municipal Code:

2. Title 17 – Development Code
Chapter 17.330 – Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, specifically Section

Exceptions exist for temporary loading/unloading and for vehicles used in active construction or repair.

Local agencies retain full authority to regulate where such vehicles may be stored or parked through zoning, development standards, and nuisance abatement ordinances.

For reference, below are several photos illustrating the range of historic commercial vehicles in question as well as a “modern” 2023 Semi-Truck Cab for comparison.

Such distinctions could also create perceptions of preferential treatment or inconsistency in the application of the City's zoning regulations.
• Potential Emissions and Noise Impacts: Vehicles registered as historic may not be required to comply with certain modern emissions or retrofit standards, depending on their model year and use classification. As a result, some historic commercial vehicles may operate with older, louder engines, less effective emission controls, and noisier components, such as vintage air brake systems. These factors could contribute to greater noise, air quality, and neighborhood disturbance concerns compared to modern commercial vehicles. Additionally, many historic vehicles were manufactured prior to the establishment of California’s current vehicular noise standards, potentially making them louder and more intrusive in residential areas.

Options for Council Consideration
In response to these comments and considerations, staff has identified two primary options for City Council direction:

Is this screening limited to visibility from rights-of-way or adjacent parcels? • Storage Location Restrictions: Should outdoor storage be limited to interior side yards or rear yards, with prohibitions against storage in front yards or required setback areas? • Time Limits for Outdoor Parking: Should historic commercial vehicles parked in driveways or front yard areas be subject to time restrictions (e.g., a maximum of 72 hours) similar to provisions for recreational vehicles? • Restoration and Maintenance Standards: Should vehicles that are not operable or actively being restored be restricted or subject to time limits to avoid prolonged visual blight?
• Noise and Operational Restrictions: Should vehicle operation, idling, loading, and maintenance activities be restricted to minimize disturbance to neighboring residential uses?
• Indoor Storage Exemption: Should historic commercial vehicles stored entirely within a fully enclosed, legally permitted building (such as a garage or barn) be exempt from additional setback, screening, or outdoor storage requirements? If the City Council directs staff to prepare ordinance amendments, it is important to note that amendments to Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Municipal Code would require only City Council review and approval. However, any amendments affecting Title 17 (Development Code)—such as changes to parking, storage, or setback standards—would require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission prior to final consideration by the City Council.
