so the point I pick up is that we need to be very clear and specific about what we want to allow as commercial vehicles. I also think we need to take out the part in our rules that say all Ca Vehicles codes apply so that we eliminate the pickup portion of our restrictions. Very interesting points that other communities have.

I for one would be opposed to simply baning all vehicles used for business purposes. That is just too likely to cause problems for no good reason. My father drove many a fleet vehicle that didn't look any different then the next car on the street. For that matter, my personally owned vehicle was used for business purposes for awhile and yet it was no different then your average mini-van. If you want to go there, just ban vehicles altogether. I would also advise against using drivers license class as a means of classifying vehicles. Consider that many a large delivery vehicle slips just under the rules to allow a driver to have a class C license. In fact, you could end up with a small car hauler in your neighborhood if you go the driver's license route. Take your time and think the whole thing through. You simply won't get what you are aiming for with a single attempt.

kirk (and others): my use of the license class was to show how to accomplish exactly what was being sought: the poster wanted to stop "big rigs and bus drivers" from parking. Using that class of license rule would do that. As you point out Kirk, that wouldn't stop a lot of OTHER things from parking there... which goes back to my often stated point of: Decide what you TRULY want to stop from occuring, and then legislate it. In other words, follow Kirk's advice and THINK before you act.

I'd definitely call this one a commercial vehicle...but it is allowed for up to 48 hours.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhBUlsoaXj8
