Summary
The city cited a contractor's pickup truck as a commercial vehicle, but the code never defines the term — and the board tossed the case. Members want a definition added so enforcement doesn't come down to eyeballing trucks.

Impact analysis
No fine was imposed, but a vague rule leaves the city exposed in future enforcement cases.
Residents with unlettered work trucks — as written, the rule is nearly unenforceable against them.
Neighbors hoping the code will keep commercial fleets off residential driveways are left without a working tool.
