What Chandler requires
Chandler treats RVs and everyday vehicles differently. A motor home, travel trailer or boat on a trailer can sit on an unimproved surface if it is behind the front yard setback and screened from the street by a solid 6-foot wall or fence. Everyday vehicles parked in a front or side yard have to be on the driveway or an approved surface, and parking areas generally have to be masonry, concrete or asphalt.
So in Chandler a concrete pad behind the RV gate is a choice rather than a requirement, while a parking spot for a car beside the driveway has to be paved.
| Rule | What it says | What it means for the pad |
|---|---|---|
| RVs, travel trailers, boats | Permitted on an unimproved surface when behind the required front yard setback and screened from the street by a solid 6 ft wall or fence | A pad is not required behind the wall, but it keeps the rig level and clean |
| Other vehicles in front or side yards | Only on the driveway or an approved surface | Cars parked beside the drive need a paved extension |
| Parking area surfaces | Masonry, concrete or asphalt, except in AG-1 and SF-33 districts where a dust-free surface is permitted | Driveway extensions in most neighborhoods must be hard-paved |

Why Chandler owners pour a pad anyway
Dirt behind a wall still turns to mud in monsoon season, ruts under the tires, and makes leveling the rig a chore. Stabilizer jacks sink into it. A concrete pad ends those problems and keeps dust out of the coach.
Chandler is also largely master-planned, and many HOAs require a hard surface or approval for any change in the side yard. Check the HOA rules before deciding the city minimum is enough.
