West Jordan, UT Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Section 13-8-14(A) of the West Jordan City Code governs where classes 1 through 5 vehicles and construction equipment, as defined in section 13-2-3, may be parked in residential zones. The parking surface must be built from one of a specific list of materials: asphalt, concrete, grasscrete, a minimum three-fourth inch or larger gravel mix, pavers, permeable asphalt or concrete, rock, stone, turf block, or a combination of those materials. If gravel, gravel mix, crushed rock, or stone is used, it must be laid at least four inches deep, so a bare dirt or grass strip along the driveway does not satisfy the rule.

Beyond the surface material, the section requires that any vehicle or piece of construction equipment parked in a residential zone actually be operable for the purpose for which it was manufactured or intended, and that parking comply with the city's drinking water source protection overlay zone standards in chapter 6, article F of title 13 where those overlay zones apply. Table B, referenced in the same section, sets out where on the lot each vehicle class may sit, generally allowing classes 1 through 3 in the front yard, rear yard behind a wall or fence, or side yard behind the front facade, with larger classes restricted to the rear and side yards or a fully enclosed garage or shed.

The surface and operability standards apply citywide in residential zones and are not limited to any single zoning district, distinguishing them from district-specific dimensional standards found elsewhere in title 13.
