Port Hueneme regulates driveway construction, width, and surfacing under PHMC zoning and public works standards. Driveways must be paved with approved materials. Parking on unpaved surfaces in front yards is prohibited.
PHMC requires driveways to be constructed with approved hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or pavers. Gravel or dirt driveways are not permitted in residential zones. Driveway width and approach standards are set by Public Works. New driveway construction or modification requires an encroachment permit for work within the public right-of-way. Vehicles must be parked on approved paved surfaces; parking on lawn or dirt areas in front yards violates the municipal code.
Unpaved driveways and vehicles parked on non-approved surfaces may receive Code Compliance citations. Property owners may be required to pave or restore driveways to approved standards.
