Ventura County regulates driveway dimensions, setbacks, and vehicle parking on residential driveways in unincorporated areas through the Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance and county road standards. Vehicles must not obstruct sidewalks or public rights-of-way when parked in driveways.
Residential driveways in unincorporated Ventura County must meet minimum width requirements of 10 feet for single-car access and 20 feet for two-car access per county road standards. Driveways must maintain adequate sight distance at the street intersection point. Vehicles parked in driveways must be fully contained on the driveway surface and may not extend over sidewalks or into the public right-of-way per CVC Section 22500. Inoperable vehicles visible from the street may not be stored on driveways for extended periods and are subject to the county's nuisance vehicle abatement program. Driveway surfaces must be maintained in good repair. New or modified driveways require encroachment permits from the Public Works Agency for connections to county-maintained roads.
Vehicles blocking sidewalks or extending into the right-of-way may be cited under CVC 22500 with fines starting at $65. Inoperable vehicles on driveways visible from public view may trigger nuisance abatement proceedings with 10-day notice to remove. Unpermitted driveway construction or modification may require removal at owner's expense. Contact Code Enforcement at (805) 654-2466 for property maintenance violations.
