Irondequoit, NY Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Section 235-76.54, the short-term rental standards in Article XIIIB (added 9-16-2025 by L.L. No. 9-2025), contains the parking rule at subsection A(12). All parking must be located on-site, and the property must have a minimum of one off-road parking space for every bedroom shown on the floor plan included with the application. The bedroom count is therefore fixed by the owner's own floor plan, which must show the location of buildings and required parking and is subject to floor plan review and approval by the Authorized Official under § 235-76.53.

Parking is tested at application. The application must include an acknowledgement of present and ongoing compliance with the standards, including the demonstration of adequate off-road parking spaces for the proposed short-term rental (§ 235-76.53A(3)). An owner who cannot meet a standard has to submit proof that a variance application was submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Section 235-76.53C requires an owner seeking a variance relating to sleeping capacity, parking capacity or other standards to petition the Zoning Board of Appeals at the same time the application goes to the Authorized Official.

Parking also follows the permit. A permit states the maximum occupancy and vehicle limits and identifies the number and location of parking spaces available (§ 235-76.55E). The permit, maximum occupancy limit, maximum parking, contact form and standards must be prominently displayed inside and near the front entrance of the short-term rental (§ 235-76.56A(2)).

The rental contract carries the rule to guests. Under § 235-76.54E, every applicant and permit holder must have a contract that includes the maximum on-site parking provided and a prohibition of on-street parking. Guests who park in the street break the contract and put the owner's permit at risk, because failure to comply with a permit condition is grounds for enforcement under § 235-76.57.
