Summary

City Code Section 30-536 in the City of Satellite Beach flatly prohibits parking on grass in residential yards and sets driveway width and material standards: at least ten feet wide for a one-car garage, 16 feet for a two-car garage, built in concrete, asphalt, or interlocking pavers with a two-foot setback.

(a)At least one driveway that connects to the required garage or parking space shall be constructed of concrete, asphalt, interlocking paver blocks or similar materials with a minimum width of ten feet for a one-car garage and 16 feet in width for a two-car garage. All other driveways and parking pads located on private property shall be constructed of gravel pavers, mulch, asphalt, concrete or similar materials. Parking on grass in residential yards is prohibited. Concrete, asphalt and interlocking paver block driveways shall be setback two feet from the side and rear property lines and shall not encroach into any easement of record.

Full Breakdown

Section 30-536(a) requires that at least one driveway connecting to the required garage or parking space be built of concrete, asphalt, interlocking paver blocks, or similar hard material, at a minimum width of ten feet for a one-car garage and 16 feet for a two-car garage. " Hard-surface driveways of concrete, asphalt, or interlocking pavers must sit at least two feet back from the side and rear property lines and stay clear of any recorded easement. A driveway that extends into the street right-of-way must also comply with the separate right-of-way driveway standards in Section 30-537, which set spacing and width rules, no driveway within two feet of a projected side property line or 25 feet of an intersection for single-family and duplex lots, and a 36-foot cap on the combined width of all driveways on those lots.

Patios and decks built alongside a driveway follow their own setbacks under Section 30-536(b): out of the front-yard setback, at least two feet from the side and rear lines, and at least ten feet from any canal shoreline or bulkhead if built of concrete. Community Development and the building official administer driveway permits and inspect for compliance with the width, material, and setback standards.

Violations & Fines

Parking a vehicle on grass in a residential yard, or building a driveway short of its required width or setback, violates Section 30-536. Where no specific penalty applies, Code Section 1-13 sets the citywide default: a fine up to $500.00, up to 60 days imprisonment, or both, with each day of a continuing violation a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my car on the lawn in Satellite Beach?
No. City Code Section 30-536(a) states directly that "Parking on grass in residential yards is prohibited," regardless of how the vehicle is otherwise legally parked on the property.
How wide does my driveway need to be?
Section 30-536(a) requires at least ten feet of width for a driveway serving a one-car garage and 16 feet for one serving a two-car garage, built of concrete, asphalt, or interlocking paver blocks.
How close to my property line can a driveway be built?
Concrete, asphalt, and interlocking-paver driveways must be set back at least two feet from the side and rear property lines under Section 30-536(a), and they cannot encroach into any recorded easement.
Can I build a gravel or mulch parking pad?
Yes, for a secondary pad. Section 30-536(a) allows gravel pavers, mulch, asphalt, concrete, or similar materials for driveways and parking pads other than the primary driveway connecting to the required garage or parking space.
