Coral Springs requires vehicles to be parked on improved driveway surfaces and prohibits parking on grass, lawns, or unimproved surfaces. Driveway parking is the primary legal parking option for most residential properties given the city's strict right-of-way parking ban under Section 18-4.
Given Coral Springs' prohibition on right-of-way parking under Section 18-4, driveways are the primary legal parking location for residential properties. Vehicles must be parked on improved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, or approved pavers) and cannot be parked on grass, lawns, or unimproved areas. The Land Development Code regulates driveway dimensions, materials, and placement. Driveways must not extend beyond defined areas or encroach on required landscaped areas. Code Compliance enforces violations of parking on unimproved surfaces, which is a common complaint in residential areas. The Coral Springs Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Appendix) and Article VIII of the Land Development Code (Off-Street Parking) establish requirements for residential off-street parking spaces, including minimum dimensions and surface materials.
Parking on grass or unimproved surfaces results in a Code Compliance violation with penalties up to $500 under Section 1-8.1. Notice of violation is issued with a compliance deadline. Repeat offenders face escalating enforcement.
