El Monte Zoning Code §17.08.060 prohibits parking vehicles in any required front or street-side yard except on an approved paved driveway leading to a garage or carport. Recreational vehicles are also restricted to paved driveways.
Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.08 (Parking Requirements), §17.08.060 (Vehicle location and storage) of the El Monte Municipal Code provides: for all property zoned for residential purposes, no person shall park any automobile in any required front or street-side yard area except upon an approved paved driveway access to the garage/carport structure or upon any other paved area in the front or street-side yard area. Additionally, no recreational vehicle (motor home, dune buggy, camper, camper bus, RV trailer, etc.) may be parked in any front yard or required street-side yard area; all RVs must be located upon an approved paved driveway. This dovetails with the Zoning Code parking development standards in Title 17, Division 7 (Parking and Loading Requirements).
Violations are enforced by the Neighborhood Services Division (Code Enforcement). Typical remedies include notice of violation, administrative citation, and continued daily fines until corrected. Vehicles parked on lawn or unpaved surfaces are common code enforcement targets and may also be cited under CVC §22500 if blocking the sidewalk.
