Eastvale, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Eastvale's driveway and on-site parking standards live in the zoning code at EMC 120.05.060(4)(a), part of the off-street vehicle parking rules. Required off-street parking generally must be inside a garage, carport, or other permanent weather-protecting structure and cannot sit in a required front or street side yard setback. Parking in excess of the required spaces, such as on a driveway, may occur within the front and street side yard setback only on permanent paved surfaces; permeable pavement is allowed as an alternative to standard asphalt or concrete, but parking areas may not exceed the maximum impervious surface allowed on the parcel and may not block a corner lot's clear-vision triangle. The code specifies that all vehicles must be parked on a paved surface, that driveways and driveway approaches must be paved, and that the minimum driveway width is ten feet. Structures, temporary canopies, tarps, and similar vehicle coverings are strictly prohibited within the front setback. Surfacing for one- and two-family residences must be concrete, asphaltic concrete, brick, or equivalent. The neighborhood preservation standards add in EMC 120.05.080(d)(2)(c) that vehicles may not be parked on any landscaped area but may be parked in a garage, carport, or on a driveway or other improved parking area connected to the street via a driveway approach, and that the improved parking area and driveway may not cover more than 50 percent of the required front or side yard.
