San Jacinto RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway storage | Temporary loading/light maintenance≤ 72 h total in consecutive 120 h; no occupied use or public encroachment. |
| Yard storage | Longer storage in the specified side-yard strip; corner lots use interior side or Director-approved rear alternative. |
| Street parking | RV-specific residential≤ 72 h/commercial≤ 120 h; general 72 h overlap remains unresolved. |
| Loading | Loading clock is aggregate; moving 300 ft does not erase the rolling driveway allowance. |
| Guest sleeping | No street habitation or occupied temporary-driveway use; other yard accommodation needs separate review. |
Can I prepare the RV in my driveway?
The exception allows loading/unloading and light maintenance/repair for up to 72 h total in any consecutive 120 h period. Keep the vehicle completely clear of public ROW, sidewalks and walkways. It must not be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping.
Does moving the RV start another 72 hours?
The driveway allowance is an aggregate rolling 72-in 120 h test, not a fresh allowance for every session. The code separately describes moving at least 300 ft after expiration, or into its designated side-yard storage area. A move does not erase the rolling driveway total.
Where may the RV be stored longer?
The ordinary storage area is one side yard next to the garage and driveway, extending toward the rear lot line. On a corner lot it must be the interior side yard. This does not mean every rear-yard space qualifies.
Can a corner lot use the rear instead?
The Director may approve an alternative rear location only when interior-side storage is not feasible and the specific access, encroachment, visibility, paving and neighboring-view conditions are met. A rear driveway entrance by itself is not approval.
Does a motorized RV need concrete?
Motorized RV storage requires concrete or another improved material approved by the Director. General gravel or landscaping is not presumed approved. Required parking spaces and access must remain available; separate inoperable-vehicle restrictions also apply.
Are the street limits 72 or 120 hours?
The RV-specific street provision says not more than 72 h in a residential district or 120 h in a commercial district. The chapter also retains general 72 h storage language. The checker flags this overlap and does not promise 120 h merely because a street is commercial.
Can guests use the RV as accommodation?
The street RV provision expressly prohibits habitation, and the temporary driveway exception expressly prohibits living, sleeping and housekeeping. A side-yard storage approval does not establish a separate guest or residence route. Utilities need separate verification.
