Avondale, AZ Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Avondale addresses oversized vehicles in two ways. For site design, Section 28-165(a)(4) of the Zoning Ordinance establishes an oversized parking space dimension of seventeen (17) feet wide by forty-five (45) feet long for recreational vehicles, compared with the standard space minimum of 9.5 feet by 20 feet and a compact space of 8 feet by 18 feet. Oversized spaces are required at the zoning administrator's discretion for commercial developments serving traveling clientele. For homes, oversized recreational vehicles, boats and trailers fall under the residential storage rule in Section 28-162(e): they cannot be stored in the front yard and must be kept in a side or rear yard on a dust-proof surface, screened from street view by solid fencing or walls (screening is waived in the AG, RR-43 and RR-18 districts). Larger commercial trucks are separately capped by the 10,000-pound GVWR limit in Section 28-162(d). On public streets, oversized and heavy vehicles are also subject to Chapter 23 traffic provisions and state law. Code Compliance enforces the residential storage and screening standards.
