City staff summarized the principal changes: raising the allowed vehicle weight threshold to 10,000 pounds; permitting one commercial vehicle per residential property even if it otherwise meets the ordinance's commercial-vehicle characteristics; prohibiting heavy commercial vehicles such as semis; and requiring parking on paved surfaces for commercial and residential vehicles.
