Eastvale, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Under Sec. 080, Eastvale's neighborhood preservation standards for residential zones set clear rules for where and how vehicles are parked on private property. Subsection (d)(2)c bars parking any vehicle, whether a car, truck or motorized bike, in a landscaped area; a vehicle may only go in a garage or carport, or on a driveway or other improved parking area with a direct connection to the street through a driveway approach. Non-operable or long-term parked vehicles get an exception to the driveway-approach requirement, but only if they are screened behind a fence or wall at least five feet tall and kept in a garage, side yard or rear yard.

Subsection (d)(2)d then sets the construction standard for that improved surface: the parking area and driveway must be built of concrete cement, and together they cannot cover more than 50 percent of the required front or side yard area. Improved parking areas and driveways that existed, or were approved, before the ordinance took effect are grandfathered and exempt from the coverage cap. The same subsection cross-references the yard-landscaping standard at Sec. 080(d)(3)a, which requires at least 50 percent of the front or side yard to carry live plants, artificial turf, or organic or inorganic ground cover, meaning the concrete driveway cap and the landscaping minimum are meant to work together rather than independently.
