Chino Hills RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Approved paved pad and access; 12-foot access width, 9-by-19-foot minimum pad and full vehicle fit. No front encroachment; applicable side/rear clearance is three feet from adjacent walls with doors or windows. |

| Sleeping / utilities | Parking and pad approvals do not establish sleeping or dwelling use. Separate utility and building approvals remain necessary. |
Temporary street permits
The current city page requires a free temporary permit to park an RV or trailer on a city street. Residents may park adjacent to their homes for at most three consecutive days and twelve days total per calendar month. The permit renews every two years and expires December 31 in even-numbered years. It does not waive sweeping, the 72-hour limit, hydrant clearances or other restrictions. The city does not issue this permit for private streets.
Residential parking pads need approval
Obtain Community Development approval before constructing a parking pad, with a scaled plan showing property lines, structures, nearby adjacent structures, pad dimensions and street access. Parking spaces and access driveways must be concrete, asphalt or another material first approved by the director. The access width must be at least twelve feet; the parking area must be at least nine by nineteen feet and contain the entire vehicle. A carport or cover needs separate Building and Safety review and applicable permits.
Placement, street access and occupied use
A front-yard RV cannot extend beyond the property or public-right-of-way line and must have safe access. In side or rear yards or the buildable pad area, maintain three feet from the outside wall of adjacent structures where the wall has windows or doors. Curb, sidewalk and driveway-approach modifications need Engineering approval and a right-of-way permit. Parking-pad approval does not establish guest sleeping, dwelling, utility connections or RV repair permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Chino Hills Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Chino Hills parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
