Fishers' UDO 5.4.6 sets explicit parking ratios for bed-and-breakfasts (one space per guest room plus one per employee) but publishes no STR-specific parking minimum. Indiana Code 36-1-24-10 lets the City regulate parking/traffic only as it would for comparable non-STR homes.
Under UDO Section 5.4.6 (Overnight Lodging), bed-and-breakfast operations must provide one parking space per guest room plus one parking space for each employee. The publicly available UDO text does not state a separate parking minimum for short-term rentals in subsection (D); an STR therefore relies on the off-street parking already required for its residential dwelling type under the UDO. Indiana Code 36-1-24-10 governs the City's authority here: a unit may regulate STRs for transportation and traffic-control purposes, but only if enforcement is performed in the same manner as for similar properties that are not short-term rentals. Practically, that means a Fishers STR host must keep guest vehicles within the driveway/garage capacity and obey the same on-street parking restrictions as any neighbor, rather than meeting an STR-only parking ratio. Because the City's ordinances are being revised to align with 2026 state law (HEA 1210), confirm any current parking conditions attached to a Special Exception with Fishers Planning & Zoning.
Guest vehicles blocking sidewalks, fire lanes, or violating posted on-street parking limits are enforceable under the City's general parking and traffic provisions — the same rules applied to any residence. Repeated parking-related citations could contribute to the three-citations-per-year threshold that supports revocation of an STR approval under UDO 5.4.6.
