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

The yard rule sits in the Yucaipa Development Code, Chapter 5, Projections into Yards. Section 87.0501 requires every required yard or court area to stay open and unobstructed to the sky, except for the structures and items the table in Section 87.0510 allows. Row (i) of that table covers open storage of boats, R.V.s, trailers, appliances and similar materials, together with temporary trash storage, not within ten feet of structures. The table prints three value columns: front and street side yards and courts, interior side yards, and rear yard.

Row (i) reads Not Allowed in the front and street side column and Allowed in both the interior side yard and the rear yard. A boat or trailer stored in the open on a Yucaipa lot therefore stays out of the front yard and the street side yard, while the interior side yard and rear yard are open to it. Section 87.0505(a) adds that projections listed in the table cannot encroach into the Clear Sight Triangle required at traffic intersections, or within three feet of any lot line dividing lots not in common ownership, except as noted in the table.

Row (m) sends unroofed parking and loading areas to the parking regulations at Section 87.0601 et seq. Street parking is a separate question under Yucaipa Municipal Code Section 10.04.020(A)(3), which makes it unlawful to park any trailer that has been detached from a truck tractor or truck, or that is not itself capable of being driven, on any street, highway, alley or public right-of-way in the city. That section does not apply in the community industrial land use district. The city planner can issue a permit exempting a vehicle or property from Section 10.04.020(A)(1) through (3).

Permits expire one year after issuance, renewals are due at least ten days before expiration, and nonresident visitor permits expire three days after issuance. A denied applicant appeals to the city council by filing with the city clerk within ten calendar days of service of the denial letter.
