aoa 96 PnE 348 Manuel Silva, resident of Dixie Heights Subdivision, advised that the State of Florida does not automatically consider one—ton trucks to be commercial vehicles, as the County does. Although his vehicle does not break State law, it breaks the County Code. The County did not receive a complaint from a neighbor on his truck; a Code Enforcement officer cited his truck while on another call in his neighborhood. Mr. Silva circulated a snapshot of his vehicle, emphasizing that there are 10 similar vehicles in his neighborhood but the County singled out his truck and a truck across the street. Mr. Silva read aloud the following stipulations concerning the parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas: § 912.17 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE parking or storing vehicles and the storage of boats ' and recreational vehicles, in residential areas.
