Alhambra requires short-term rental parking to be provided on-site and to comply with Municipal Code Chapter 9.95 (Vehicular Parking). Each rental must post a guest notice stating parking capacity, the location of parking spaces, and any parking rules.
Section 5.92.050(11) of the Alhambra Municipal Code states that parking for short-term rental use shall be provided on-site and shall comply with Alhambra Municipal Code Chapter 9.95 (Vehicular Parking). The ordinance does not set a fixed number of required STR parking spaces; instead it incorporates the City's general vehicular parking standards in Chapter 9.95, which govern residential off-street parking. Section 5.92.050(9)(b) requires each STR to post a guest notice inside the unit stating parking capacity, the location of parking spaces, and parking rules, if any. The permit application's self-certification page restates that parking must be provided on-site and comply with Chapter 9.95, and the host must initial this item. These are the City of Alhambra's own parking requirements under Chapter 5.92, not Los Angeles County standards; California law leaves STR parking regulation to local ordinance. Because using the property's garage or driveway for lodging is separately prohibited (5.92.050(4)), garage and driveway space remains available for the required guest parking. Overflow onto public streets is governed by the City's general parking rules rather than a special STR allowance.
Failing to provide compliant on-site parking, or failing to post the required parking information in the guest notice, violates Section 5.92.050 and is enforceable by administrative citation (up to $1,500 / $3,000 / $5,000 within 12 months) or as a misdemeanor. Persistent parking-related nuisance complaints can contribute toward the three-violations-in-12-months threshold that triggers automatic permit revocation.
