Full Breakdown

Section 22-591(b)(7) requires the permit application to include a site and floor plan that depicts a scaled diagram of the short-term rental, showing at minimum the number of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms in the unit, and confirming at least one required off-street parking space per rented bedroom. 00 application fee, insurance proof and the guest-count request) before the department of planning and development approves or denies the permit under section 22-592. Because the count is tied to rented bedrooms rather than the whole house, an operator advertising fewer bedrooms than the home actually has still needs to provide parking matching the number being rented out, and the approved guest count and permit details from section 22-591(c) must be posted at the property alongside the parking layout.

A rental that cannot fit the required off-street spaces on the lot, or that is later found short of the plan submitted, exposes the operator to the same review consequences as any other unmet application requirement under this article.

Violations & Fines

Failing to provide or maintain the required off-street parking is a failure to meet the section 22-591 application requirements, which supports permit denial under section 22-592(a)(1) and can trigger suspension or revocation under section 22-594(a)(1) after notice and a hearing before the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication under section 2-562.
