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

130 defines a 'large' vehicle broadly: any motor vehicle, house car, recreational vehicle or trailer exceeding eight feet in width, eight feet in height, or twenty-three feet in length, measured including fixtures and accessories except single-post radio antennas and side mirrors. Any vehicle meeting that definition cannot park or stand on a public street for more than two hours, with the same narrow exceptions that apply to commercial vehicles: additional time is allowed only while actively loading or unloading property, or while parked in connection with and in aid of a service being performed to a property in that block, and only for as long as reasonably necessary to finish.

Subsection C carves out an even stricter, size-independent rule for boats and personal watercraft: a boat of any size, or a PWC such as a jet ski, wet bike or sea-doo, on or off a trailer, cannot be left standing on a public street for more than two hours except while being loaded or unloaded, regardless of whether it would otherwise count as a 'large' vehicle under subsection B. 140. , accompanied by a nonrefundable fee set by council resolution. The chief of police issues the permit only after finding the parking will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood, and no more than one permit per month may issue for the same vehicle.
