Chesapeake STR occupancy is typically capped at two guests per bedroom plus two, not to exceed limits in the CUP. Virginia USBC minimum floor area per occupant also applies.
Conditional use permits issued in Chesapeake generally impose overnight occupancy limits of two guests per bedroom plus two additional persons. Daytime event occupancy and large gatherings are frequently prohibited or capped at a smaller number. The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code incorporates IRC minimum room sizes and egress requirements that govern legal sleeping areas. Basements, attics, and living rooms generally do not count as bedrooms unless they meet egress and ceiling height standards.
