Oversized vehicles displaying a disabled license plate are exempt from the provisions set forth in the Code, but must adhere to other codes where exemptions are not granted, such as Vehicles Parked over 72 hours.
Owners of oversized vehicles have the option of applying for an Oversized Vehicle Parking Permit, issued by the City Manager or designee, which allows owners of oversized vehicles to park their oversized vehicle on the public street for up to 72 hours.
