Fillmore requires driveways to be paved with approved materials and meet minimum width standards. Vehicles must be parked on improved surfaces, not on front lawns or bare dirt. Driveway approach permits are required for new driveways or modifications to existing curb cuts.
Fillmore's zoning and public works codes require that residential driveways be constructed of approved paved materials (concrete, asphalt, pavers, or similar). Vehicles may not be parked on unimproved surfaces (dirt, grass) in front yards. Standard residential driveways must be a minimum width (typically 10-12 feet for single car, 18-20 feet for double). New driveways or modifications to existing curb cuts require a driveway approach permit from Public Works. Driveway placement must provide adequate sight distance for pedestrian and vehicle safety. Maximum driveway coverage of the front yard may be limited to preserve landscaping and reduce impervious surface. Circular driveways may be allowed on larger lots with adequate setbacks.
Parking on unpaved front yard areas is a zoning violation subject to code enforcement. Unpermitted driveway approaches are public works violations. Non-compliant driveways may need to be reconstructed to meet standards.
