Three independent size triggers
Section 16.03.030(a) prohibits a vehicle on a public street or alley if it exceeds ANY of these dimensions: width 6 feet 6 inches, height 7 feet 6 inches, or length 20 feet. Equality alone does not exceed a dimension. Under subsection (b), a qualifying vehicle must actually be used for construction, delivery, loading, unloading or other service to the adjacent premises AND hold the temporary permit issued by the Public Services Director or designee.

A permit does not erase the trailer limit
Temporary oversized-vehicle permits are discretionary and allow at most 72 continuous hours. The Director may deny an application for any reason, including four or more previous permits in twelve months; four is not an automatic entitlement or a universally fixed maximum. Section 16.03.030(c) independently prohibits a trailer or any nonmotorized vehicle for more than four consecutive hours on streets, alleys or other rights-of-way. The subsection (b) exception expressly addresses subsection (a), so this checker does not use a 72-hour permit to override the four-hour rule.

Thirty days, signs and safe placement
Section 16.03.040, adopted April 28, 2026, prohibits any vehicle remaining on a street or public right-of-way beyond thirty days regardless of other rules. Minimal movement intended to avoid enforcement does not reset the stay; this guide does not promise that moving a specified distance resets it. Sections 16.03.010 and .020 separately address sidewalks, no-parking controls and specially regulated street segments. Confirm the full applicable stay, unobstructed placement and every posted restriction. These are parking provisions, not camping or hookup permission.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the proposal with the municipality. Limited administrative screening only, not a permit or complete legal approval. Current code includes Ordinance 26-1169 of April 28, 2026. The later September 2026 data-center moratorium was read and does not change this ordinary street-parking scope. Do not infer a reset from a thirty-foot move, an automatic four-permit entitlement, or a trailer exemption. No private storage, special signed-block, commercial, emergency, camping or hookup approval.
Use the DuPont parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
