Chino, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Chino's driveway parking rules sit in both the Zoning Code (Title 20) and the Health & Safety nuisance code (Title 8), giving Code Enforcement two independent paths to cite a violation. Under Chino Municipal Code §20.10.100, 'boats, trailers or recreational vehicles may be parked on a private property's driveway up to 72 hours.' After 72 hours the RV/boat/trailer must be moved to a permanent storage location (typically a side- or rear-yard area screened from public view per Title 20 zoning standards, or off-site storage). Inoperable vehicles are independently restricted by Chino Municipal Code §8.50.040, which classifies them as a public nuisance: they may be stored on a driveway for no more than 72 hours, must be entirely out of public view, and must actually be made operable to remain — the City has confirmed that throwing a car cover over the vehicle, or filing a DMV Planned Non-Operation, does NOT satisfy CMC §8.50.040. Code Enforcement may post a notice, fine the owner, and abate the nuisance at owner expense if not corrected. Front-yard and parkway parking are addressed under Title 20 zoning, which limits parking to paved driveway areas in residential zones.
