Rancho Cucamonga does not currently impose a hard annual night cap on permitted STRs, but the primary-residence rule and permit conditions effectively limit rental activity.
Unlike some Southern California cities that cap the number of rentable nights per year (for example Los Angeles 120-night limit or San Francisco 90-night unhosted cap), RCMC Chapter 8.34 does not currently include a specific annual night-cap for Rancho Cucamonga STRs. However the regulation indirectly limits rental volume by requiring the property to be the operator primary residence, meaning the owner must actually live at the property and cannot convert it into a full-time short-term rental business. Occupancy caps, parking limits, and noise rules also constrain operation. The City Council has periodically reviewed STR regulations and may adopt night caps in the future. Operators should monitor RCMC 8.34 updates and the city STR program page for changes. Even without a hard cap, repeated nuisance complaints can lead to permit suspension or revocation.
