Victorville requires encroachment permits for new driveway approaches. Residential driveways typically 12-24 feet wide. Parking on unpaved front yards or blocking sidewalks is prohibited.
Victorville Public Works Department issues encroachment permits for new driveway approaches or modifications to existing curb cuts under VMC Chapter 12.12. Residential driveway widths typically range from 12 feet (single) to 24 feet (double) at the property line, with flared approaches meeting city standards. Driveways must be constructed of concrete, asphalt, or approved paver materials; gravel or dirt driveways are generally not permitted in established residential zones. Vehicles cannot block public sidewalks; the vehicle must be entirely on private property. Parking on landscaped front yards, dirt areas, or unimproved surfaces is prohibited under the zoning code to prevent dust and stormwater runoff, especially critical under MDAQMD Rule 403 fugitive dust rules. Corner lots must maintain 25-foot sight-distance triangles.
