Glendora RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Up to 72 hours on an approved driveway leading to a garage for preparation or cleaning; keep the sidewalk and right-of-way clear. Rear-yard storage needs a permitted 6-foot solid wall/fence and 2-foot clearance from walls/fences. Side-yard storage must be behind the front setback and RV front yard, screened to 6 feet. |
| Street / loading | Temporary street RV parking requires an approved city permit and is limited to 72 hours at one time. The private-driveway exception is for preparation or cleaning for no more than 72 hours, not general front-yard storage. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No use as living quarters in residential or commercial storage, except separately governed §19.20.140 cases. Storage rules do not establish utility permission. |
Which RVs and properties qualify
Glendora’s definition includes motor homes and recreational trailers but excludes van campers and pickup truck campers; removed camper shells are included. The ordinary home route is for single-family-zoned lots or a multifamily-zoned parcel occupied by a sole single-family structure. The registered RV owner must own the property or make it their primary residence, with a separate 72-hour visiting-guest storage exception. Commercial RV storage is not allowed in residential zones.
Screened side and rear storage
Rear storage requires a six-foot solid wall or fence, necessary approvals and at least two feet between the RV and any wall or fence. Side storage must remain behind the front setback and RV front yard and be screened from the public right-of-way to six feet. Screening walls, fences and gates need required approvals; tarps and cloth screens do not qualify. Fitted RV covers and permanent compliant canopies are different. Vegetated surfaces must be maintained, and the RV space must not replace required residential parking.
Preparation, street permits and living use
An approved driveway leading to a garage may be used within the front setback for preparation or cleaning for no more than 72 hours, without sidewalk/right-of-way encroachment. Temporary street parking has its own city permit and 72-hour limit. Other front-yard arrangements, irregular lots and recorded exemptions require city review. Storage does not permit living quarters or utilities; the cited living-quarters exception has separate requirements.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Glendora 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 Glendora parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
