Lynwood sets no short-term rental occupancy cap because STRs are not a permitted use. General housing occupancy is governed by the building and housing code and dwelling-unit definitions, not by any nightly-guest limit.
No STR guest-count or occupancy limit exists in the Lynwood Municipal Code, because short-term rentals are not an enumerated permitted use. For permitted lodging, a 'guestroom' is defined in Chapter 25 as space providing transient occupancy and sleeping accommodations for paying guests in hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts, and motels are capped at 50 or fewer rooms. For dwellings, occupancy is controlled by Chapter 11 (Building and Housing) and the Zoning definition of a dwelling unit for a single household. No provision assigns a maximum number of overnight guests to a short-term rental. Bed and breakfasts, the closest residential lodging use, are allowed only in R-3 with a conditional use permit that may impose occupancy conditions.
Overcrowding of a dwelling is enforced under Chapter 11 building and housing standards; unpermitted transient lodging is a zoning violation subject to citation.
