Pico Rivera sets no short-term rental occupancy limit because it has no STR ordinance. Lodging is only a commercial-zone use, so any guest-count rules would come from building and housing codes, not an STR law.
There is no short-term rental occupancy cap in the Pico Rivera Municipal Code because the city has no STR ordinance defining guests-per-bedroom or maximum-occupant limits. STR use is not a permitted residential use at all: the Zoning Code lists lodging only as Hotels and Motels, allowed by Conditional Use Permit in the C-G commercial zone. Where occupancy is regulated for dwellings, it derives from the adopted California Building and Residential Codes (habitable-space and egress standards) and general nuisance provisions, not from any tourism ordinance. Any operator claiming a specific overnight-guest cap for an STR is citing a rule the city has not enacted.
Overcrowding a dwelling can be cited under adopted building/housing codes and nuisance provisions; the underlying STR use is itself an unpermitted zoning use.
