Rocklin's zoning code (Title 17 Ch. 17.08) restricts what can be parked or stored in residential driveways, especially in the front and street-side yard setbacks. Standard passenger vehicles may sit in a driveway, but recreational vehicles, trailers, boats and campers may only be in a front-yard or street-side-yard driveway for up to 48 hours at a time for loading, unloading, cleaning, or maintenance. Longer-term 'storage' (3 consecutive days or 9 intermittent days in 30) of accessory vehicles in those setbacks is prohibited.
Driveways in Rocklin are regulated by Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.08 (Use Regulations), including the accessory-vehicle provisions cited by the City's Common Code Violations page. Per the City's published interpretation of RMC Ch. 17.08, accessory vehicles - RVs, trailers, boats, campers - may be parked in a driveway (or other solid surface) in the front yard or street-side yard setback only for up to 48 hours at a time for active loading, unloading, cleaning, or general maintenance. 'Store' or 'stored' is defined as parking in a location for three consecutive days or nine intermittent days within any 30-day period, and storage of accessory vehicles in front or street-side yard setbacks is not allowed in any zoning district. Long-term storage must instead be in an interior side yard, rear yard, garage, or commercial storage facility, on a solid surface. Driveways must also remain clear enough to comply with Cal. Veh. Code §22500(e) (no blocking sidewalks) and §22500(f) (no blocking driveways).
Code Enforcement notice and abatement for accessory vehicles parked beyond 48 hours in front/street-side setbacks; possible re-inspection fees; storage on dirt/landscaping rather than a solid surface is also a violation. Sidewalk-blocking or driveway-blocking citations issued by Rocklin Police under Cal. Veh. Code §22500.
