Inglewood RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Outdoor RVs need a full-length, 9–12-foot-wide compliant paved surface; preserve required parking access. One occupied residence with the RV owner living there; minimum lot size, size cap, setbacks and eight-foot screening apply. |
| Street / loading | Covered RVs/house cars require a valid displayed temporary city parking permit. Obtain city permit terms; no general loading window is supplied by sections 3-65.4/5. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Permanent or long-term housing prohibited; short guest sleeping unresolved separately. Residential hookups to hoses, electrical cords or other facilities are prohibited. |
Street parking needs a temporary permit
Section 3-65.4 prohibits covered RVs, house cars and similarly equipped vehicles on public streets unless they display a valid temporary city parking permit. Section 3-65.5 leaves the permit policy and procedures to the city. The separate 2 a.m.–6 a.m. residential restriction does not make daytime RV parking generally available. Ask for the actual permit terms, location and duration.
Residential storage, dimensions and screening
The 12-59 route applies in R-1, R-2, R-2A or P zoning, subject to the code’s Class C distinction. The property must have one occupied residence, the RV owner must live there, and the lot must be at least 40 feet wide and 4,000 square feet. No more than two unenclosed RVs are permitted. RVs on R/P lots may not exceed 36 feet long or 12 feet high. Outdoor setbacks include 35 feet from the front and three feet from interior sides; corner, through and irregular lots have additional street/rear conditions. Side/rear storage needs eight-foot perimeter screening. The entire outdoor vehicle needs a 9–12-foot-wide paved surface meeting 12-55.2, with required parking and garage access preserved.
Enclosure, housing and hookups
A fully enclosed approved structure waives the specified setbacks; it is not a waiver of every storage or use condition. Long-term/permanent housing is prohibited, while short guest sleeping still needs a separate answer. Residential water-hose, electrical-cord and other facility hookups are prohibited. RV lighting must face inward and be no higher than 12 feet. Gray water, sewage and other waste may be disposed of only at certified waste facilities.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Inglewood 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 Inglewood parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
