Carports in Yorba Linda are accessory structures regulated by the Zoning Code (Chapter 18.10, Residential Zones) for setback, height, and design, and must serve required parking. A building permit is required to construct a carport.
Carports are treated as accessory structures under the Yorba Linda Zoning Code and must comply with the setback, height, and design standards of the residential zone in Chapter 18.10. Because covered parking counts toward a home's required off-street parking, a carport removed or demolished in connection with an accessory dwelling unit does not require replacement parking under Chapter 18.20, Article IX (Section 18.20.850). Constructing a carport requires a building permit and must meet the City's adopted building code (Title 15). Front-yard placement and driveway curb-cut limits also apply under the residential zone standards, so owners should confirm allowable location with the Planning Division before building.
Building a carport in a required setback, without a permit, or in a manner that eliminates required parking is a zoning and building-code violation subject to correction and code enforcement.
