San Leandro prohibits parking that blocks sidewalks or driveways per CVC 22500(f). Driveway aprons require encroachment permits from Public Works.
California Vehicle Code §22500(f) makes it unlawful to park a vehicle in a manner that blocks a public sidewalk, and San Leandro enforces this on all residential streets. Parking across your own driveway that overhangs the sidewalk is still a violation. New or widened driveway curb cuts require an encroachment permit from San Leandro Engineering & Transportation and must meet ADA sidewalk slope standards. Front-yard paving is limited by zoning to preserve pervious surface and street tree space.
Sidewalk blocking: ~$65 citation. Unpermitted curb cut: stop work and permit penalty fees.
