Summary
Hollywood vacation rental guests must park only on-site, or off-site where parking is otherwise allowed, and follow the citywide Chapter 72 parking code. Section 119.32 flatly bans parking on the grass swale or any unpaved right-of-way next to a single-family home without that neighbor's consent.
Occupants and visitors to the vacation rental shall comply with all relevant parking codes as found in Chapter 72 of the Hollywood Code of Ordinances. In addition, occupants and visitors shall park motor vehicles only on-site where the property is designed to accommodate on-site parking or off-site where parking adjacent to the property is allowed. In accordance with § 72.022, no occupant or visitor to a vacation rental shall park on the swale area or any unpaved right-of-way adjacent to a paved street, which swale area or unpaved right-of-way abuts the property of another single-family dwelling, without the consent of a person entitled to the possession and use of the property abutting the swale area or unpaved right-of-way. Notice of the parking locations allowed and other requirements shall be posted inside the vacation rental.
Full Breakdown
32 requires vacation rental occupants and visitors to comply with all relevant parking codes in Chapter 72 of the Hollywood Code of Ordinances, and confines their vehicles to on-site parking where the property is designed for it, or to off-site parking only where parking adjacent to the property is allowed. 022 specifically, the section bars any occupant or visitor from parking on the swale area or an unpaved right-of-way adjacent to a paved street where that swale or right-of-way abuts a single-family dwelling, unless the person entitled to possession of that abutting property consents.
The rule requires the owner or representative to post notice of the parking locations allowed, along with other parking requirements, inside the vacation rental. 11(B)(9), which requires the license application itself to include an exterior site sketch and photos identifying every on-site and off-site parking space before a license is issued.
Violations & Fines
Parking on a prohibited swale or unpaved right-of-way, or failing to post the required parking notice, is enforceable by citation under Chapter 36 with fines set by City Commission resolution under § 119.58(A). Because the representative and tenant can be held jointly and severally liable for a shared violation, repeated parking complaints count toward the two-strikes suspension and three-strikes revocation thresholds in § 119.58(C)-(D).
