Commercial and Recreational Vehicle and Trailer Parking

Chapter 10.36 of Auburn City Code establishes limitations on parking for some larger vehicles and trailers on City streets. For questions on any of the below information please contact Joe Welsh at 253-804-5050 or via email.

Commercial Vehicles and Trailers

Because the weight of larger vehicles often exceeds the safe capacity of the shoulder of City streets and parking larger vehicles and trailers on some City streets interferes with sight distances and clearance, resulting in increased risk of vehicle collision, the City prohibits the parking of commercial vehicles in most areas.

To prevent impacts to public safety parking of commercial vehicles is restricted to only those areas that can safely bear the weight of larger vehicles and provide adequate clearance. View a map (PDF) of where commercial vehicles may park legally in the City rights-of-way.

Commercial Vehicle parking is permitted at the following locations:

1. D St NW both sides, between 44th Street NW and S 277th Street, where practical.
2. 44th Street NW south side, west of D Street NW and east of the Union Pacific RR right-of-way.
3. E Street NE west side, between 23rd Street NE and 26th Street NE.
4. Lund Road SW east side, West Main Street to end.
5. Directly adjacent to and on the same side of the street as property on which a commercial business, other than a property permitted home occupation, is located, provided that the free flow of traffic is unobstructed.

Commercial vehicles may stop or park in other safe locations while in the process of actively loading, unloading or providing services to residences or businesses in the immediate vicinity of where the vehicle is parked provided that the free flow of traffic is unobstructed and not otherwise prohibited.

Recreational Vehicles and Trailers

"Recreational vehicles" means a vehicular-type unit primarily designed for recreational camping recreational travel use that has its own motive power, or is mounted on or towed by another vehicle, whether attached or unattached to a towing vehicle.

Parking of recreational vehicles and trailers is permitted on city streets, alleys and public rights-of-way in residential neighborhoods provided the following restrictions:

1. The recreational vehicle or trailer is parked on city streets, alleys and public rights-of-way for no longer than 24 hours.
2. There is adequate space for parking.
