No. Oxnard City Code Sec. 16-467 expressly requires ADU rental terms of 30 days or longer. Short-term vacation rental of an ADU is prohibited, and Cal. Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(6) authorizes the City to enforce that prohibition.

No, not currently. Oxnard City Code Sec. 16-467 prohibits separate sale unless specifically allowed by State law. AB 1033 (Cal. Gov. Code §65852.26) lets cities opt in to permit separate condominium sale of ADUs, but Oxnard has not adopted an AB 1033 ordinance.
