Redondo Beach sets no short-term rental occupancy caps because STRs are prohibited outright. There is no guest-count rule for transient lodging in residential zones; the use itself is not permitted under the zoning code.
Because Redondo Beach bans short-term rentals in residential zones, the RBMC contains no STR-specific occupancy or guest-count limits (such as a maximum number of overnight guests per bedroom). The city does not regulate how many people may stay in a transient rental because transient rentals of thirty (30) days or less are not an allowed use under RBMC 10-2.501 and 10-2.511. Standard residential occupancy and building/health-code standards apply to lawful long-term residential dwellings (31 days or longer), and zoning controls the number of dwelling units per lot, but none of these create an STR occupancy framework. Any guest-count claim attributed to a Redondo Beach STR ordinance (e.g., "two guests per bedroom plus two") is unverified, because no such STR ordinance
Hosting transient guests at any occupancy level violates the residential-zone use prohibition; enforcement targets the unauthorized use, not a headcount.
