Driveway Rules: Corona vs Mead Valley

Corona Municipal Code requires vehicles parked on residential property to be on improved, paved driveway surfaces. Parking on lawns, dirt, or unpaved areas is prohibited. Driveways must be constructed of concrete, asphalt, pavers, or other approved hard surfaces, and vehicles cannot block sidewalks or extend into the public right-of-way.

Unincorporated Riverside County regulates driveways through Ordinance 457 (grading) and Ordinance 461 (road improvement standards). Driveways accessing county-maintained roads require an encroachment permit from Transportation. Width, sight distance, and drainage are controlled, and paving is required for many rural residential parcels to reduce dust and PM10 emissions.
