Moreno Valley, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

130(B)(10) is the specific standard covering where residents keep recreational vehicles, boats and campers. The code gives developers two compliant layouts: an enlarged side yard, a minimum of 10 feet on the garage side of the house, sized to let a resident drive an RV or boat past the garage into the rear yard, or a dedicated off-site storage area. Either way, the stored vehicle must stay out of public view from the street. Where the storage area falls inside a required front, side or rear setback, the surface underneath it must be pervious, so the extra hardscape does not defeat the setback's drainage and landscaping function.

Because this section sits in the design guidelines chapter rather than the code enforcement chapters, it is applied primarily as a condition of subdivision and site plan approval for new single-family construction, when the community and economic development department reviews lot layouts, rather than as a stand-alone citation against an existing driveway. The same subsection separately requires mechanical equipment such as air-conditioning units to be screened with walls and landscaping and kept out of the required front yard, reflecting the same out-of-the-streetscape policy that governs RV and boat storage.

Owners buying an existing home should check whether their lot's side yard was built to the enlarged 10-foot standard before assuming a driveway-side RV pad complies.
