El Monte has no STR-specific parking rule because STRs are prohibited; the underlying dwelling must satisfy the Title 17 (Zoning) off-street parking requirements adopted via the 2022 Zoning Code update.
Because residential rentals of less than 30 consecutive days are not a permitted land use, El Monte's Zoning Code (Title 17, as adopted June 21, 2022 and amended May 2, 2023) contains no STR-specific guest-parking standard. The underlying single-family or multifamily dwelling must satisfy the off-street parking standards in Title 17 Division 7 (Parking and Landscaping) for its residential use category. ADUs created under EMMC Title 17 follow Cal. Gov. Code §65852.2(d)(1), which generally bars cities from requiring more than one off-street parking space per ADU unit/bedroom and waives ADU parking entirely within half a mile of public transit, in a historic district, or where on-street permits are unavailable to the ADU. Because STR use of an ADU is prohibited, no STR-specific add-on space is required.
Parking violations are enforced by EMPD and Parking Enforcement under EMMC Title 10 and Cal. Vehicle Code §22500 et seq. Operating an unpermitted STR is independently citable under Title 17 zoning enforcement and EMMC Title 1 administrative citation procedures.
