Chapter 12.60 — EXTRALEGAL LOAD PERMITS AND FEES

Any vehicle with an "extralegal load," as the term is defined by California Vehicle Code Section 320.5, which cannot be reasonably reduced in size or weight so that it can be legally transported without a permit as provided by California Vehicle Code Section 35780, must obtain a transportation permit from the City Engineer.

• (a) The transportation permit may be issued to each vehicle either on an annual or single-trip basis.

• (b) Permit holders shall obey any and all reporting requirements and restrictions adopted by the City.

(c) Annual transportation permits are limited to qualified companies whose business is to move commercial loads that would routinely exceed the maximum weight, height, width, or length restrictions in the California Vehicle Code. (Ord. 250, passed 12-11-2024)

Fees for the transportation permit shall be set by resolution by the City Council. Additional fees, for special City services necessitated by the permitted transport, shall be paid by the permit holder. Examples of special services include, but are not limited to, police inspection, police transport, tree trimming, overheard wire and fixture removal, and engineering services. Department heads shall determine the actual cost for each service provided. The fees shall be collected from the permit holder at the time the permit is issued.
