Driveway Rules: Palm Springs vs Riverside

Palm Springs regulates driveway widths, materials, and curb cuts under Palm Springs Municipal Code Title 93 (Zoning) and Title 14 (Streets). Residential driveways generally may not exceed 20 feet wide at the curb in single-family zones, and curb cuts require an encroachment permit from the Engineering Division. Mid-century modern preservation districts impose additional material and design standards.

Riverside allows parking on private residential driveways but prohibits blocking the public sidewalk. Vehicles must be parked on an approved paved surface, not on lawns or unimproved dirt. RMC Title 19 zoning standards regulate driveway width and the percentage of front yard that may be paved.
