Summary
Unincorporated Clark County sets no dedicated STR parking standard. For a bed-and-breakfast, CCC 40.260.050 requires two off-street parking spaces plus one more for each bedroom rented, with any added parking screened from abutting property by a five-foot solid fence or hedge.
A minimum of two (2) off-street parking spaces, plus one (1) off-street parking space for each bedroom to be rented, are required. Any additional parking needed to accommodate the use shall be screened from abutting property by a minimum five (5) foot tall solid fence or hedge.
Full Breakdown
There is no vacation-rental-specific parking ordinance in unincorporated Clark County, so guest parking for a general STR follows the residential parking standards of the underlying zone. The county does set explicit parking for bed-and-breakfast establishments under CCC 40.260.050: a minimum of two off-street parking spaces, plus one off-street space for each bedroom to be rented. Any additional parking needed to accommodate the use must be screened from abutting property by a minimum five-foot-tall solid fence or hedge; a hedge must be installed immediately and provide a six-foot solid screen within one year of approval. The applicant submits a site plan showing off-street guest parking.
Violations & Fines
Providing fewer B&B parking spaces than required, or omitting the required screening, can block permit approval and trigger code-enforcement correction.
