San Bernardino County, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

08 Site Plan Permit, and no part of the ultimate street or highway right-of-way can be counted toward a project's required parking or loading. The front-yard setback carve-out is narrow: parking is barred there except inside a driveway serving a single-family home, or inside a multi-family driveway engineered with enough length to hold an assigned unit's off-street space, meaning a car parked on the lawn, on gravel next to the driveway, or angled across the setback is out of compliance even where the driveway itself is legal.

030 layers on related duties: subsection (b) requires new parking whenever a property's use changes, though an infill multi-family or affordable project can use a Minor Use Permit to size that requirement; subsection (c) requires added parking only for the expanded portion when a use is enlarged or intensified; subsection (e) makes parking and loading spaces permanent, marked, and maintained, with only the Director able to approve a temporary reduction tied to a Temporary Use Permit for a seasonal use; subsection (f) bars an owner, tenant, or manager from blocking authorized users out of required spaces without the Director's approval; and subsection (g) prohibits using required parking and access areas for vehicle sales, display, repair, or storage, or for storing trailers, boats, campers, mobile homes, merchandise, or equipment. 070(a): nine feet by 19 feet for a standard space, ten feet by 20 feet for an enclosed residential garage space.
