Galliford v. Commonwealth

In Galliford v. Commonwealth, 60 Pa. Commw. 175, 430 A.2d 1222 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1981), the property owners' son was a trucker who parked his tractor trailer in his parents' driveway/backyard. The owners were fined for violating an ordinance concerning permitted uses in residential districts. The trial court upheld the violation. The Court agreed with the trial court, and found that the tractor trailer is "not only inseparable from its owner's business, it is his business. It is unquestionably commercial in nature, and is neither incidental nor accessory to the residential character of the premises." Id. at 1224.
