§ 62-1921.3. Commercial vehicle parking at a residence.

(a)

Where not otherwise permitted by section 62-2117, any residential property owner may request a conditional use permit to park one commercial motor vehicle on a residential lot. Such conditional use permit may be issued only under the following conditions:

(1)

The parcel must be a developed single-family residential lot of at least one-half acre in size.

(2)

The commercial motor vehicle must be operated by the occupant of the residence and must be essential to the occupant's principal means of employment.

(3)

The commercial motor vehicle is to be parked within a fully enclosed garage. However, the applicant may request, and the board may consider, an alternative means of visually buffering the vehicle given the character of the neighborhood and the lot upon which it is to be parked. Such alternative buffering may include cold and drought resistant vegetation or fencing up to eight feet in height (notwithstanding the provisions of section 62-2109).

(4)

The commercial motor vehicle must be maintained in operating condition.

(5)

The commercial motor vehicle may be a tractor cab but shall not include a tractor trailer.

(6)

The commercial motor vehicle, or any equipment or machinery on the vehicle, may not for any reason be left running and unattended by the operator, except for the purpose of preparing the vehicle to be driven off site.

(b)

The conditional use permit is valid for one year and is renewable by administrative extension for successive one-year periods. However, if the activity ceases to be compatible with the character of the neighborhood as evidenced by a code enforcement complaint, or if the occupancy of the residence changes, any CUP may be revoked pursuant to subsection 62-1901(d). The property owner will be notified in writing if the CUP extension is not renewed pursuant to subsection 62-1901(d). Once a CUP is not renewed administratively, the conditional use permit will be considered to be expired and may be reconsidered only by the board of county commissioners as a new conditional use permit pursuant to paragraph (a) above.
