Bellaire's STR ordinance sets parking requirements based on a property's existing driveway and garage capacity. Guest vehicles must park on-site and may not overflow onto residential streets. These rules apply to the limited STR-eligible properties in the CMU mixed-use district.
The STR ordinance requires that guest parking be accommodated within the property's existing driveway and garage capacity. The number of permitted guests and vehicles is tied to the physical parking available on-site. Street parking overflow from STR guests into residential neighborhoods was a key concern driving the ordinance. Properties in the CMU district with STR permits must demonstrate adequate off-street parking as part of the annual permit process. Bellaire's residential streets are generally narrow, and the city enforces parking restrictions throughout its neighborhoods. Contact Development Services at (713) 662-8222 for specific parking capacity questions related to STR permits.
STR guest vehicles parked in violation of street parking rules may be ticketed. Persistent parking issues at an STR property may affect permit renewal. Operating an STR without adequate parking constitutes a permit violation.
