Short-term rental guests in Chula Vista must comply with all city noise ordinances including CVMC 19.68 and 17.24. The STR ordinance (CVMC 5.68) requires operators to provide guests with house rules including noise regulations. The 24-hour local contact must respond to complaints within specified timeframes.
Under CVMC Chapter 5.68, short-term rental operators must establish and enforce house rules that include noise restrictions. All STR properties are subject to the same noise regulations as other residential uses, including the decibel limits of CVMC 19.68 (55 dBA day/45 dBA night for single-family zones) and the disorderly conduct provisions of CVMC 17.24. The Loud Party Ordinance (CVMC 17.24.050) applies to STR properties. Operators must designate a 24-hour local contact person who can respond to noise complaints and other issues within the timeframes specified in the permit conditions. Noise violations at STR properties are tracked and may affect the permit status. Multiple noise complaints may result in permit modification, suspension, or revocation under CVMC 5.68.170. The STR event permit (CVMC 5.68.120) may allow certain events with additional noise conditions.
Noise violations at STR properties may result in citations under the noise ordinance plus STR permit enforcement. Multiple complaints can trigger permit suspension or revocation under CVMC 5.68.170.
