Sanger requires driveways to be paved with approved materials and prohibits parking on unpaved front yard surfaces. Vehicles must not block sidewalks or public rights-of-way. Driveway approaches must meet city engineering standards for width and slope.
The Sanger Municipal Code and engineering standards require residential driveways to be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or other approved hardscape materials. Parking on dirt, gravel, or lawn areas in the front yard is prohibited as a nuisance and blight condition. Vehicles parked in driveways must not extend over or block public sidewalks. Driveway approaches connecting to the public street require an encroachment permit from the Sanger Public Works Department and must meet city standards for width (typically 10 to 20 feet for single residential), slope, and drainage. New driveways and driveway expansions require a permit. The maximum percentage of front yard area that may be paved is regulated under the zoning code to maintain neighborhood character and stormwater infiltration.
Parking on unpaved surfaces triggers code enforcement notices and administrative fines. Blocking a sidewalk is a California Vehicle Code violation subject to citation by Sanger PD. Unpermitted driveway construction may require removal and reconstruction.
