Santa Clara limits recreational vehicle street parking to 72 hours, requires permits for extended street storage, and restricts driveway RV storage under zoning code.
Santa Clara Police enforce CVC 22651(k) on RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, and boats on trailers, towing after 72 hours in one location. Residents may apply for a short-term RV parking permit allowing up to 72 consecutive hours on street adjacent to their residence for loading, unloading, or guest use under SCCC Chapter 10.15. Permanent RV storage on residential property is regulated by zoning code; RVs must generally be stored behind the front setback line or in side yards with screening.
