Yorba Linda sets no short-term rental occupancy limit because STRs are banned outright under Chapter 5.50. There is no guest-count formula for STRs since none may lawfully operate. General building and zoning occupancy standards still govern lawful long-term rentals.
There is no short-term-rental occupancy cap in Yorba Linda because Chapter 5.50 prohibits STRs entirely; a rule limiting guests would presume a legal STR, and none exists. The City has not adopted a per-bedroom or maximum-guest formula for short-term rentals. For lawful residential occupancy (owner-occupants and rentals of 30 days or more), the limits come from the City's building, housing, and zoning standards, not from an STR ordinance. Because any rental under 30 consecutive days is unlawful under YLMC 5.50.030, no guests may lawfully stay in an STR at all. Overcrowding of any dwelling can still be addressed through general code enforcement. Confirm occupancy standards with the City's Planning and Building divisions.
Because short-term rentals are prohibited, the violation is operating the STR itself under YLMC 5.50.030, not exceeding a guest count. Code Enforcement can issue citations and fines for any unlawful listing. Overcrowding of a lawful dwelling is cited separately.
