Driveway approaches in West Sacramento require an encroachment permit and must meet city standards; vehicles generally must be parked on an approved paved surface, not on the lawn.
West Sacramento regulates driveways at the property line and beyond it. The approach — where your driveway crosses the public right-of-way to reach the street — requires an encroachment permit and must be built to city standards covering width, drainage, and sidewalk transitions. On the property, parking rules require vehicles to sit on an approved paved surface; lawn parking is prohibited and routinely cited. Planning a wider driveway or a new parking pad means talking to public works about the encroachment side and confirming the surfacing standards before pouring anything.
