Truck Parking in Residential DistrictsDepartment Date: October 17, 2©01 To: City Attorney Charlie Harball From: Chief of Police Frank Garner M Re: Parking Trucks in Residential Districts At your request I have provided a sample ordinance that would prohibit parking of tractor trailers in residential areas. This ordinance is currently in effect m Missoula. Kalispell City ordinances currently do not specifically restrict the parking of tractor trailers or "semis" in residential areas. We have fielded several complaints over the past few years concerning this issue. Please let me know if you need any additional information to satisfy your inquiry.
