What Glendale requires for RV parking
Glendale is direct about it: an RV stored in the side yard must be parked on concrete, pavers or asphalt. In the rear yard it has to be behind a fence. Temporary parking for loading, unloading or repairs is limited to 72 hours within seven days, and a home can keep no more than two RVs and utility trailers combined.
That makes the side yard RV pad one of the most common concrete jobs on Glendale lots that keep a trailer or motorhome.
| Rule | What it says | What it means for the pad |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term RV storage | In the rear yard behind a fence, or in the side yard | Side yard is allowed, on the right surface |
| Side yard surface | An RV parked in the side yard must be on concrete, pavers or asphalt | A concrete pad meets it directly |
| Temporary parking | Front or side yard, driveway or maneuvering area for loading, unloading or repairs, no more than 72 hours within 7 days | The driveway is short-term only |
| Number of units | No more than two utility trailers and RVs combined | Plan pad space for what you actually keep |

Building a side yard RV pad in Glendale
Glendale ranges from older central neighborhoods with narrower side yards to newer subdivisions in the north with wider lots and RV gates. Either way, the first measurement is the gate opening and the narrowest point of the side yard.
The pad itself follows the RV: 5 to 6 inches of reinforced concrete on a compacted base for most trailers and Class C motorhomes, more for heavy Class A coaches, sloped away from the house.
