Chino, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Chino's zoning code (Title 20, Chapter 20.10) treats recreational vehicles, boats, utility trailers and similar oversized recreational equipment as a residential land-use issue, not just a traffic issue. Section 20.10.100 allows RVs/boats/trailers to be parked on a driveway in residential zones for no more than 72 consecutive hours - meaning brief loading/unloading or weekend turnaround is fine, but indefinite driveway storage is a code violation. Long-term storage typically requires moving the unit behind the front-yard setback (side or rear yard), screened from public view by a solid fence or wall meeting Title 20 fencing standards. Many of Chino's older equestrian/agricultural-zoned lots in the Chino Agricultural Preserve / Preserve specific-plan area have more permissive accessory-use rules. Inoperable vehicles - including non-current-registered RVs or boats with missing components - are treated as a public nuisance under Title 8 and may be abated even on private property. On public streets, California Vehicle Code 22651(k) authorizes towing of any vehicle parked in one spot for more than 72 hours; Chino enforces this against RVs and trailers stored on the street.
