Yucaipa, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Section 10.04.040(H) of the Yucaipa Municipal Code sets the driveway rule for truck tractors, one of the conditions attached to every oversize vehicle permit issued under § 10.04.030. It applies to the driveway of the owner or operator's own residential lot, whatever the lot size.

There are three conditions. First, the truck tractor must be completely clear of all public streets, sidewalks and easements. The city planner can waive or modify that condition on original review, or on appeal from a decision by a delegate, and the code says that discretion cannot be delegated. Second, no mechanical work, nor any routine maintenance or repair work that causes an excessive amount of noise, can be performed before eight a.m. or after eight p.m. Third, the owner or operator must provide the express written consent of the current residents of all adjacent parcels.

Subsection G covers larger lots. One truck tractor with a trailer or semi-trailer can be parked on a residential lot of at least twenty thousand (20,000) square feet, with one more for each additional twenty thousand (20,000) square feet, up to a maximum of three such vehicles. Every part of the vehicle must be at least five feet from each interior property line and at least fifteen (15) feet from all public rights-of-way and easements.

Other driveway-related rules sit elsewhere in the code. Section 8.16.030(A)(3) requires single-family and two to four unit residential property to be free of inoperable or abandoned vehicles unless they are safely stored in a structure of four walls and a roof and not visible from the public right-of-way, and § 8.16.030(A)(4) requires walkways, driveways and other improved surfaces to be maintained in a safe condition. Under § 10.12.035, no one can park in an alley so as to block the driveway entrance to an abutting property.
