Full Breakdown
Chapter 17.74 requires the host to provide adequate on-site parking for lodgers. On-street parking does not qualify toward the STR property's required parking, so guests must be able to park off-street on the property itself. The STR application must include a site plan identifying that adequate on-site parking exists. The City reserves the right to add operational conditions on parking to keep the property from becoming a nuisance to surrounding homes.
Violations & Fines
Inadequate parking or guests overflowing onto the street can be treated as a nuisance and grounds for added permit conditions, fines, or revocation.
