LA County Code Section 22.112.080 allows RV/boat storage in residential zones only in side or rear yards behind the required front setback, screened from view. Street RV parking is limited under Title 15.
Title 22 Chapter 22.112 (Parking) and the Altadena CSD Section 22.306.070.A.5 require all residential parking to be on legal driveways or in approved yards. Recreational vehicles and boats may be stored in side or rear yards but must not be in the required front yard setback (typically 20–25 feet under CSD Table 22.306.070-A). On public streets, California Vehicle Code and LA County Title 15 apply — RVs subject to the 72-hour rule, and oversized vehicle ordinances in some zones limit overnight parking.
Front-yard RV storage is a zoning violation under Title 22 — administrative citation under Ch. 1.25, daily fines up to $500.
