Chula Vista regulates overnight parking through CVMC Chapter 10.52. Most residential streets allow overnight parking unless posted otherwise. RVs and oversized vehicles have specific restrictions. The 72-hour continuous parking limit under California Vehicle Code applies citywide.
Most residential streets in Chula Vista allow overnight parking for passenger vehicles unless specific signage prohibits it. California Vehicle Code section 22651(k) establishes a 72-hour limit for any vehicle parked in one location on a public street without being moved. Recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and oversized vehicles may have additional restrictions in certain areas. Some residential neighborhoods, particularly those near commercial areas or the Bayfront, have posted time-limited parking or permit parking zones. The city's parking enforcement division monitors compliance. Vehicles must not block driveways, fire hydrants (within 15 feet), or crosswalks. Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR are prohibited from overnight parking in residential areas under CVMC 10.52.090. Residents in high-demand parking areas may petition for residential parking permit zones through the city.
Parking violations result in citations. Vehicles exceeding the 72-hour limit may be towed. Blocking fire hydrants or driveways may result in immediate towing.
