Under Chapter 325, Article IX (Ord. 23-09), Englewood short-term rentals must provide one off-street parking space per bedroom. Properties without a paved driveway, garage, or carport are limited to two on-street locations directly in front of the STR. Total occupancy is capped at two adults per bedroom and no more than eight persons overall, which limits practical parking demand.
Chapter 325, Article IX of the Englewood City Code (adopted as Ordinance 23-09 on May 16, 2023) sets the parking standard for licensed short-term rentals. Operators must provide off-street parking at a ratio of one space per bedroom on the property. STRs that lack a paved driveway, garage, or carport are limited to two on-street locations 'in front of the STR,' meaning guest vehicles cannot spread across the block or onto neighboring frontages. The same article caps occupancy at two adults per bedroom and an absolute maximum of eight persons regardless of bedroom count, which constrains the number of guest vehicles that can lawfully be present. The STR application requires the operator to identify all parking arrangements, and inspectors verify compliance during licensing. Englewood's general parking regulations in the Land Use Code (Chapter 250) and Code Chapter 280 (Vehicles and Traffic) continue to apply: vehicles cannot be parked on lawns, in front yards outside designated driveways, or in violation of posted street rules, and on-street overnight parking restrictions in some neighborhoods may further limit guest options. Bergen County Local Calendar restrictions and snow-emergency rules under Chapter 280 also apply during winter events. Article IX requires a designated local responsible party reachable to address complaints, including parking spillover.
Failure to meet the off-street parking ratio is a violation of Chapter 325, Article IX and exposes the operator to license denial, suspension, or revocation, plus a civil penalty of up to $1,250 per offense with each day a separate violation, enforced by the Building Code Official, Health Department, and Police Department. Guest vehicles parked beyond the two permitted on-street locations, on lawns, or in violation of Chapter 280 street regulations are separately citable under municipal traffic and property maintenance codes and may be ticketed or towed. Repeated parking complaints are routinely cited as grounds at license-renewal review.
