Maximum overnight occupancy of a San Clemente STLU is set in the operating license and is tied to the number of legal off-street parking spaces on site, per SCMC 17.28.292.C.11. The owner must limit occupancy by written agreement with each renter.
STLU permit condition 1 requires the owner, by written agreement with the renter, to limit overnight occupancy to at most the maximum renters approved in the STLU Operating License, or the requirements in SCMC 17.28.292.C.11, whichever is less. That maximum is set under SCMC 17.28.292.C.11 based on on-site legal off-street parking capacity; the license records approved maximum overnight renters against the number of legal off-street parking spaces. City staff analysis of the program described an overall ceiling of 12 people. On the zoning-permit application, the owner states square footage, bedrooms, off-street parking spaces, and maximum overnight renters. Approved occupancy and maximum vehicles are disclosed to neighbors within 300 feet.
If occupancy exceeds the approved maximum (violating condition 1), the owner must notify the renter and prevent recurrence. Condition 8 limits use to overnight lodging, barring weddings and parties. Code Enforcement handles complaints; repeated violations can lead to revocation.
