Queen Creek, AZ Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

§ 49-541. Section 10-8-6, Parking, Maneuvering, Ingress and Egress, splits requirements by property type. For residential lots, 'all vehicular parking must occur on a legal driveway consisting of a dustproof surface or on an improved dustproof surface immediately adjacent to the legal driveway,' and that surface must be concrete, asphalt millings, or gravel at least three inches deep, with asphalt millings and gravel areas also requiring a permanent border to keep the material contained. A separate standard applies to non-residential development and to residential buildings with more than four units: their parking, maneuvering, and ingress/egress areas must use asphaltic concrete, cement concrete, a bituminous penetration/seal-coat treatment, or another stabilization method the Town approves.

Residential complexes of four units or fewer with lots of 3,000 square feet or more follow a paving or stabilization method authorized by the Town Code or permit. The rule sits within the Town's broader fugitive-dust enforcement structure: under § 10-8-3, the Enforcement Officer issues a warning for a first violation, then a $50 civil penalty for a second, $100 for a third, and $250 for a fourth and later violations. Sites holding a Maricopa County Dust Control Permit are exempt from this section's requirements, and the ordinance does not apply during a declared public emergency.
