Weber County, UT Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Weber County's front-yard parking rule sits in Section 108-8-7, the same section that sets general parking lot design and maintenance standards for the county. For any residential-zone use, none of the required front setback area may be used for parking, whether that is a car parked on grass, gravel, or an oversized driveway pad; the code requires that space to remain open green space instead. The only carve-out is a driveway or access lane that crosses the front yard on its way to a legal parking area in the side or rear yard, since the section expressly allows access across and over the front yard even though it bars parking there.

Multiple-family dwellings and nonresidential uses located in a residential zone get a narrower allowance: they may use up to, but not more than, 50 percent of the required side and rear setback area for parking, and any area used beyond that limit must be offset by an equal amount of open green space, patios, play areas, or courts elsewhere on the same lot. Every private parking surface, front, side, or rear, must also be a hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, sloped and graded so stormwater does not drain onto neighboring properties, per the same section.

A related provision, Section 108-8-11, separately allows one hard-surfaced slab in a required side setback for extra parking, but only if it is at least eight feet wide, screened by a six-foot solid fence, and kept clear of the space in front of the dwelling's front face.
