Chula Vista, CA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

495(A) bars parking any recreational vehicle, motorized or not, attached or not, on a highway, street, alley, public way or public place at any time, unless the registered owner or lessor holds a valid City permit, the vehicle is actively loading or unloading, or it's disabled and can't be moved. Subsection (B) defines "recreational vehicle" broadly by cross-reference to the Vehicle Code and Health and Safety Code: camp trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailers, house cars, trailer coaches, mobilehomes, boats and boat trailers including jet skis, dune buggies and off-road vehicles, equipment or animal trailers, folding camper trailers, and any other vehicle designed or used primarily for recreation.

The permit process in subsection (C) is run by the City Manager: a resident applies in writing, pays the Master Fee Schedule fee, and receives a permit valid only within the same block as the resident's address (or the adjacent side of the street), displayed on the vehicle, good for no more than 24 hours, with no more than three consecutive permits issued to one address in any 72-hour period and no more than 72 permits per address in a calendar year. 100 instead. 490 lets the City Engineer restrict parking of any vehicle six feet or taller, including its load, cab or body, within up to 100 feet of an intersection's curb return, where sight-line obstruction is a hazard.
