Summary
Goodyear does not suspend a short-term rental's license just because it racked up parking tickets. City Code § 8-2-10(B)(1) excludes aesthetic, solid-waste and vehicle-parking violations from the three-strikes count that can pull an STR license, unless the parking problem also amounts to a serious threat to public health and safety. STRs still must follow the City's general traffic-control laws under § 8-2-3.
Goodyear City Code § 8-2-10(B): "A STR license issued pursuant to Article 8-2 may be suspended by the City for a period up to 12 months for the following verified violations associated with the STR property: (1) Three verified violations within a 12 month period, not including any verified violation based on an aesthetic, solid waste disposal or vehicle parking violation that is not also a serious threat to public health and safety." A.R.S. § 9-500.39(D): "...shall adopt an ordinance to allow the city or town to initiate an administrative process to suspend a local regulatory permit or license for a period of up to twelve months for the following verified violations...1. Three verified violations within a twelve-month period, not including any verified violation based on an aesthetic, solid waste disposal or vehicle parking violation that is not also a serious threat to public health and safety."

Full Breakdown
Article 8-2 does not set a parking-space minimum or a separate STR parking permit; instead it treats STR parking through two provisions. First, § 8-2-3(A) folds ordinary traffic-control compliance into the general duty every STR owner already has to follow federal, state and local law, the same way it folds in noise and nuisance rules; there is no STR-specific traffic or parking citation scheme layered on top. Second, and more consequentially, § 8-2-10(B)(1) carves vehicle-parking violations out of the count the City uses to suspend an STR license.
Ordinarily, three verified violations at the same property within 12 months trigger a suspension of up to 12 months under § 8-2-10(B), but a verified violation based on an aesthetic, solid waste disposal or vehicle parking violation does not count toward that three-strikes total unless the parking violation is also a serious threat to public health and safety. 39(D)(1), which uses the identical exclusion for local suspension ordinances statewide. In practice this means a guest who blocks a driveway or parks on the street in violation of Goodyear's traffic code can still be cited like any other driver, but that citation alone will not be held against the STR's license unless it rises to a genuine safety hazard, such as blocking emergency-vehicle access.
Violations & Fines
A vehicle-parking citation tied to an STR is enforced under the City's general traffic and parking code, not under Article 8-2 itself, and by itself will not count toward the three-verified-violation threshold in § 8-2-10(B) that can suspend an STR license for up to 12 months. That protection disappears if the parking violation is also a serious threat to public health and safety, in which case it is treated like any other verified violation under § 8-2-9's escalating $500/$1,000/$3,500 civil-penalty schedule.
