Commercial Oversized

For venues requiring temporary accommodations for tour buses, production trucks, or trailers.

  • Threshold: >3/4 tons, >20' length, or >7' height.
  • Tour Buses: 1-3 night stays at predesignated commercial meters.

Specialized & Long-Term Oversized Accommodations

For parking needs that do not fall into the standard 1-3 night tour bus category—such as permanent oversized storage, long-term construction staging, or parking within City-operated garages and lots—the City evaluates requests on a case-by-case basis.

Due to the high degree of customization required for these non-routine inquiries, there is no "one-size-fits-all" application. To begin a formal review, please email our permit specialists.

What to Include in Your Request:

  • Vehicle Specs: Type, dimensions (L/H/W), and quantity.
  • Location: Preferred street, lot, or proximity to business.
  • Duration: Start/end dates (including permanent needs).
  • Purpose: Description of the operational need.

Requests for non-predesignated areas may require coordination with Code Enforcement and Engineering.
