Large vehicles such as RVs, motorhomes, travel trailers, boats on trailers, and big utility trailers are treated as recreational vehicles under Chino Hills Municipal Code 10.12.020 and require a Temporary Parking Permit to park on a city street, limited to three consecutive days and twelve days per month.
The City of Chino Hills handles most oversized vehicles through its recreational-vehicle parking program in Chapter 10.12 rather than a separate oversized-vehicle ordinance. Under Municipal Code 10.12.020, the city's definition of recreational vehicle is broad and captures large vehicles and trailers, including camp trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, house cars (motorhomes), mobilehomes, boats, boat trailers, and trailers used to transport equipment or animals for recreation. Any of these parked on a city street requires an annual Temporary Parking Permit, and even with the permit the vehicle is limited to a maximum of three consecutive days, up to twelve days total per calendar month. The city stresses that 'City parking regulations take precedence over the annual temporary parking permit,' so an oversized vehicle still cannot be parked during street-sweeping no-parking windows, cannot be left more than 72 hours, and cannot block a fire hydrant. Heavy commercial trucks are addressed separately through the city's Title 10 parking ordinances and the California Vehicle Code, which lets the city restrict commercial vehicles on designated streets. On private residential lots, the storage of large recreational vehicles is regulated by the Development Code, which requires paved pads and yard-location standards rather than allowing open storage in any front-yard area.
Parking an oversized recreational vehicle or large trailer on a city street without a Temporary Parking Permit, exceeding three consecutive days or twelve days per month, or violating street-sweeping, 72-hour, or fire-hydrant rules is citable under Chapter 10.12. Heavy commercial vehicles are subject to the city's Title 10 rules and the Vehicle Code. Permits are free from Code Enforcement (909-364-2757); enforcement is by the Sheriff's Department.
