Buncombe County's Zoning Ordinance requires a vacation rental complex or rooming house to provide at least one off-street parking space for every two guest rooms, and to screen parking with a vegetative buffer or fencing next to single-family homes.
Off-street parking for lodging uses is set in Table 3 of Sec. 78-658. A "vacation rental complex or rooming house" must provide one space per two guest rooms. The complex standards in Sec. 78-678 add that preliminary plans must include parking adequate for the maximum number of guests proposed, at least one space per two proposed guest rooms, and that these parking areas be visually screened with a vegetative buffer or fencing where adjacent to any single-family residential development. If parking cannot fit on the same lot, it may be located within 400 feet of an entrance. These requirements apply in the unincorporated county; municipalities apply their own parking standards.
Inadequate or unscreened parking can prevent conditional use permit approval for a complex and is enforceable as a zoning violation under Sec. 78-596. A simple single-home vacation rental relies on its existing residential driveway.
