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

030(B) states the rule plainly: no person shall store or park any boat or trailer in any required front or side yard area on an R-zoned lot. Because the section does not carve out an exception for size or duration, a travel trailer, boat trailer, or utility trailer left in the front or side yard violates the section regardless of how long it sits there; the rule is a location restriction, not a time limit. 030(A)(2), which likewise confines vehicle parking on R-zoned lots to a permitted driveway or parking facility rather than the open front or side yard.

Both rules apply lot-wide regardless of zone designation within the R-zone family (R-1, R-E, H-R, and other residential zones), and the code's definition of "vehicle" in subsection (A)(1)(g) reaches motorcycles, motor trucks, passenger vehicles, station wagons, truck tractors, and similar types as defined in the State Vehicle Code, which is broad enough to cover most self-propelled recreational vehicles even though it does not name them individually.
