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

1205 work together to restrict where recreational vehicles, mobile homes, campers, trailers, and boats can park on Pacifica's public streets. An 'oversized vehicle' is defined broadly: any single vehicle or combination that is twenty-two feet or more in length, seven feet or more in width, or eight feet or more in height qualifies, and the definition explicitly lists dump trucks, moving vans, tractors, RVs, mobile homes, and campers as covered types. 'Boat' carries the definition used in the California Harbors and Navigation Code. The Traffic Engineer is authorized to post no-parking signs for oversized vehicles or boats on any street where parking would interfere with traffic or create a safety concern.

1205 makes it unlawful at any time, day or night, to park an oversized vehicle on a public street narrower than forty feet, within one hundred feet of an uncontrolled intersection, or on a street where the travel lane would be squeezed to less than ten feet. A property owner or contractor actively loading or unloading an oversized vehicle at an adjacent business or residence is exempt for up to eight hours, and construction vehicles holding a valid City encroachment permit are exempt outright. 1206, valid for thirty-six hours, limited to two permits per residence in any thirty-day period, and issued by the Police Department. Anyone aggrieved by a sign determination can appeal to the City Manager within ten days of the sign's installation.
