Charleston County requires short-term rentals to provide one on-site parking space per permitted bedroom, plus the parking already required for the applicable use. The site plan submitted with the permit application must depict the required parking.
The STR Zoning Permit application states the on-site parking standard explicitly: required parking is 1 space per permitted bedroom plus the required parking for the applicable use. Applicants must show the number and location of parking spaces provided on-site. For Extended Home Rentals and Commercial Guest Houses, a Limited Site Plan Review application is required, and the site plan (drawn to engineer's scale) must depict existing and proposed conditions including the required parking. This keeps guest vehicles off neighborhood streets and is verified through the Site Plan Review process before a permit issues.
Insufficient on-site parking can prevent site-plan approval and permit issuance; ongoing shortfalls are enforced under Article 6.8.
