Huntington Park, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

The yard and driveway rule sits in Municipal Code § 9-3.810, the parking design standards for residential uses. Item 2 applies in the R-L, R-M, R-H, C-P and C-N zoning districts where parcels are used for residential purposes. No person can store or park, or permit another person to store or park, any boat, trailer or camper body within the front 50% of a parcel, or in the area between the front property line and the front of a residential building, except on a driveway. The same item bars storing or parking a motor vehicle in the front 50% of a parcel unless it is within an approved parking area, and bars keeping an inoperable motor vehicle on a parcel unless it is inside an enclosed garage or completely screened from public or private properties.

Item 5 adds the time limit. Under item 5.B, recreational and commercial vehicles can be temporarily stored on driveways in front of residences for not more than 14 continuous days within any 90 day period. Item 5.A adds that vehicles shall not be parked within the front 50% of the lot or between the street property line and the front of the residential unit except on a legal driveway that provides access to required parking or other approved surplus parking area. Item 3.C requires all unpaved portions of the front yard to be improved and maintained with landscaping.

The street side is governed by § 4-7.1622. It bars any converted bus, recreational vehicle or recreational trailer from an alley, public street or public right-of-way, any City-owned off-street parking facility, or any City park at any time. A recreational trailer is a trailer designed to transport recreational sport vehicles or vessels, including dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles, boats, personal water craft and race vehicles. The only exception covers emergency repairs, such as a flat tire, finished within 24 hours; routine or normal maintenance does not qualify. The section takes effect once signs giving notice are placed at all entrances to the City, and violators can be cited, towed, or both.
