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

Three sections of HCC Title IV target tall vehicles (which includes most RVs, trailers, and boats on trailers) at sight-distance hotspots: §431-5 bans vehicles six feet or greater in height for 100 feet on both legs of the southwest corner of 17th Street and Nedra Avenue in Myrtletown; §431-96.5.5 bans vehicles six feet or greater on Santa Clara Street for 100 feet north and south of Tremont Street; and §431-106 mirrors that on Tremont Street for 100 feet east and west of Santa Clara Street. For RVs used as residences, Ordinance 2729 (adopted Jan 9, 2024) extended the Inland Safe Parking/Safe Shelter Pilot Program at HCC §314-61.05: living in a vehicle is only authorized at a permitted Safe Parking site operated by a government agency, religious institution, or non-profit, sited in C-1, C-2, C-3, ML, R-3, MU1, MU2 zoning (and AG within one mile of services), with each vehicle operable, six feet of clearance, and no RV blackwater/graywater dumping unless approved by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. Boat trailers and RVs parked on private property as personal accessory storage are governed by the underlying zone's accessory-use rules and the no-RV-occupancy rule.
