Gilbert's parking standards require all vehicles to be parked on improved surfaces of asphalt, concrete, cement, or gravel meeting code conditions. The only approved parking areas are the garage, the drive leading to the garage, or an improved area adjacent to the driveway. Vehicles may not be parked on front yard landscape, dirt areas, or sidewalks. Driveways must be maintained in good condition.
