There are no short-term rental parking requirements in Chino Hills because STRs are prohibited. The City has no guest-parking minimum for vacation rentals since none may operate. General residential parking and on-street parking rules in the municipal code apply to all homes, including those rented long-term (30+ days).
Some cities that permit short-term rentals require a set number of off-street parking spaces per STR or limit guest on-street parking. Chino Hills has no STR-specific parking standard because short-term rentals of fewer than 30 days are banned citywide. The City's official guidance confirms that the municipal code "does not allow short term rentals" and permits only rentals of "30 days or more." With no permitted STR use, there is no required guest-parking count, no driveway-capacity rule tied to vacation rentals, and no STR on-street parking permit. Parking in Chino Hills residential neighborhoods is instead governed by the City's general parking and residential development standards, which apply equally to owner-occupied homes and to long-term rentals. Those general rules โ such as restrictions on certain on-street parking, oversized-vehicle and recreational-vehicle parking limits, and required off-street parking for dwellings โ are enforced regardless of whether a home is rented, but they are not a framework for authorizing short-term lodging. Neighbor complaints about parking congestion were among the concerns that motivated the City's move to a full citywide STR prohibition. Because the activity is not permitted, there is no parking configuration that makes a short-term rental compliant. Owners with questions about long-term rental or general residential parking should confirm current standards with Chino Hills Code Enforcement and the Community Development Department.
No parking arrangement legalizes a banned short-term rental; operating one is a code violation subject to Code Enforcement citations and daily fines. Separately, general residential and on-street parking violations (e.g., oversized-vehicle or prohibited on-street parking) are enforced citywide under the municipal code.
