Maximum driveway width typically 20 ft for single-family homes. Circular driveways permitted on lots wider than 75 ft. This driveway rules rule under Clovis's parking ordinances applies to properties within Clovis city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Clovis code enforcement directly or consult the official California municipal code library.
