Santa Paula Zoning Ordinance restricts RV, boat, and trailer parking in residential zones. Recreational vehicles must be parked on an improved surface behind the front setback line. On-street parking of RVs and boats is limited to 72 hours for active loading/unloading.
Under Santa Paula's zoning code, recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential zones must be stored on an improved (paved or approved) surface, not on dirt or grass. RVs must be parked behind the front setback line — they cannot be parked in the front yard area visible from the street unless actively being loaded/unloaded for a trip (72-hour limit). RVs and boats on the street are subject to the 72-hour parking limit. No person may live in an RV parked on residential property or on the street within city limits. RVs must be currently registered and in operable condition. Oversized vehicles (over 7 feet tall or 22 feet long) face additional restrictions on narrow residential streets.
Violations of RV/boat parking rules result in a notice of violation with 10 days to cure. Non-compliant vehicles may be cited and eventually towed at the owner's expense. Living in an RV on residential property is a zoning violation with daily fines of $100+.
