Driveway approaches in Lompoc require an encroachment permit and must meet city standards; vehicles generally must be parked on an approved paved surface, not on the lawn.
Two rules govern driveways in Lompoc, one at the curb and one on the lot. At the curb, a new or modified driveway approach — where it crosses the public right-of-way — requires an encroachment permit and must be built to city standards, which protect the sidewalk, drainage, and street. On the lot, vehicles generally must be parked on an approved paved surface; lawn parking is prohibited and is a routine code-enforcement citation. If you're widening a driveway or adding a parking pad, run it past public works and code staff first.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
