Under the San Diego County Zoning Ordinance, parking spaces and driveways must be hard-surfaced. Driveways for single-family and duplex homes may match the access street rather than a more durable surface.
Bostonia is unincorporated, so the County Zoning Ordinance sets driveway standards. Section 6792 requires that, except in Agricultural zones, 'all parking spaces, loading spaces, and driveways shall be hard surfaced with durable asphalt concrete or Portland Cement Concrete surfacing on a suitably prepared base.' It adds that 'Parking spaces and driveways accessory to single-family and duplex dwellings need not be surfaced with a more durable type of surfacing than that which exists on the access street.' Driveways designated for fire access must support fire apparatus (minimum 50,000 pounds) unless the Fire Authority requires more. Required parking areas may not be used for vehicle storage or sales without a permit.
Unsurfaced or misused required parking/driveway areas are zoning violations enforced by County Planning & Development Services code enforcement.
