Does anyone know what the zoning ordinance is for parking multiple work truck from the same company in a residential neighborhood in the city? I tried searching but came up empty. There is a fellow who parks 3 such trucks along with his personal vehicle on our block with already not enough parking for the residents.

I am the OP and I don’t live on “Pebble Hill”! I live below APS on the eastside. As usual confusion reigns because folks make sort of lame assumptions they run with as fact. For all who tried to answer my question I thank you.
The county is worthless. There is a motorcycle track in Santa Rita hills that is an environmental hazard and they won’t address because it was “permitted “ under false pretenses
AHCHOOO: No, the neighbors never got any satisfaction from the tour vans that were parked all over the place, but (hallelujah!), the owner has just sold his house, and the neighborhood rumor is that he’s leaving the state. We couldn’t be happier.
This is a city property, not a county property, but same procedure – city complaints are filed at the 630 Garden Street address. Pays to get to know the SB Municipal Code, especially the zoning or transportation chapters, to learn what one can and cannot do in this town. What constitutes blight in this town needs to be strengthened. Good issue for upcoming city council elections that go well beyond city employee compensation and perks matters, and instead offers actual relief for city residents. More city staff need to be cross-trained to provide zoning enforcement .More city council time needs to be devoted to the benefit of city property owners and combatting blight.
I saw that the house was on the market, and my first thought was, yay! No more multiple SUVs parked all over the block!
On the subject of parking, I wonder if it would be a good thing to have the city planners assess the parking situation in each of our neighborhoods and give them a grade. Neighborhoods like the lower westside area bounded by the 101, Carrillo/Meigs, and Cliff Drive where there is no parking available on weekday evenings would get an F. San Roque might get an A or B. Any neighborhood with a grade of D or F would not be allowed to approve additional residential projects with insufficient off-street parking. Maybe will try to make this an op-ed piece.
What I love about parking enforcement vs. building dept zoning violations: Parking enforcement refuses to reveal any info on whom it was that alerted them to any violation. Zoning, on the other hand, puts the info into a file, for one and all to access. In which case, unless you filed your complaint via your attorney, ( anonymously, i. e.,) beware of serious blowback.
Anyone can park as many trucks or cars as they want within the allowed ordinance dimensions on any Santa Barbara residential street unless there are posted restrictions. Most trucks exceed the 80” width requirement. Look up make and model dimensions on-line, file complaint. Some owners of small companies pick a nearby street to park 3-5 company trucks. Eastside around SALINAS has a few regularly parked oversized trucks. There can be no ordinance prohibiting the public from using a public street. Does anyone know why ‘resident only parling’ Is not legally challenged on public, taxpayer funded and maintained streets? After all. Public streets and walks are for every’s use. Some public Streets can be privatized to keep parking for residents only.
