Irvine effectively bans RV street parking through Resolution 726, which prohibits parking any vehicle wider than 84 inches on any public street at any time except for active loading/unloading. Sleeping in vehicles is also prohibited citywide between 9 PM and 9 AM.
City Council Resolution 726 prohibits parking any motor vehicle with a width exceeding 84 inches (7 feet) on any public street within Irvine at any time, except for active loading, unloading, deliveries, or emergency repairs. This effectively bans most RVs, large trucks, boats on trailers, and other oversized vehicles from all public streets. Sleeping in any vehicle is prohibited citywide between 9 PM and 9 AM. Many Irvine HOAs offer limited short-term parking permits for RVs, such as the Woodbridge Village Association which allows a maximum of 24 overnight parking permits per year (non-consecutive) and 6 three-day permits per year (minimum 30 days apart). These HOA permits apply to common areas within the community but do not override city-wide street restrictions. Residents needing temporary RV parking should contact both the Irvine Police Department at 949-724-7000 and their HOA for options.
Parking citation. Vehicle tow at owner's expense. Vehicle sleeping violation may result in citation, fine up to $1,000, or arrest.
