Victorville, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Sec. 070 of the Off-Street Parking article addresses where vehicles may legally sit on a residential lot. Subsection (a) bars tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and other large vehicles or heavy equipment from residential zone districts entirely, excluding recreational vehicles, which are instead governed by the RV storage standards in Sec. 050(b)(3). Subsection (c) is the general catch-all: any vehicle not otherwise regulated by the code can only be parked on a single-family lot inside a designated driveway that leads to a garage or side yard, or behind a legally permitted view-obstructing wall or fence of at least five feet in height; parking loose on dirt, lawn, or an unimproved surface does not satisfy this standard.

Sec. 050(b)(1) reinforces the rule from the placement side, prohibiting any residential parking space from occupying a required front yard or the required street-side yard of a corner lot. The physical driveway itself has to meet City dimensional standards: a garage or carport for a single-family home needs a minimum interior clearance of eighteen feet by twenty feet, and the driveway serving a two-car garage or carport with side-by-side parking must be at least sixteen feet wide, or nine feet for tandem parking. All driveways and parking areas must be surfaced with portland cement concrete or a minimum four-inch asphalt layer over an approved base, as verified by the City Engineer under Sec. 050(c)(1).
