Ofcourse,
You may or may not be able to do this depending on where you live. It’s often a zoning issue.
What you are proposing, if I read you correctly, is commonly called a “parking pad.” That means that the driveway does not either a) lead to a garage, or b) lead to a side lot on the property.
You will need either an architect or engineer (both with the proper licenses) to sign the Buildings Department permit application assuming he or she believes it is legal. Then, if you get the permit (or more than one permit depending on the job), you can begin the work.
Note well that this is just a brief description.
