Occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom, or fewer if the on-site wastewater system is more restrictive. No STR may exceed ten occupants regardless of bedroom count. An STR in an Accessory Dwelling Unit is capped at three occupants.
Section 46 sets a hard occupancy formula: two occupants per bedroom, or the on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) limit if lower, with an absolute ceiling of ten occupants. STRs within an Accessory Dwelling Unit are limited to three occupants or the ADU regulations, whichever applies. The occupancy printed on the approved license is the binding maximum, regardless of what was requested. Every advertisement must clearly list the approved occupancy limit alongside the license number, and no sleeping areas are permitted outside defined bedrooms on the floor plan.
Exceeding the licensed occupancy is a code violation subject to the $500/$1,000 graduated fine schedule and possible license revocation by the Planning & Zoning Director.
