Johns Creek has no STR-specific parking standard since residential vacation rentals are not permitted. Off-street parking is governed by the general zoning parking schedule in Article 18. For the lawful bed and breakfast use, parking is calculated at the hotel/motel rate and may not be located in the minimum front yard.
Because the city does not regulate short-term rentals as a distinct use, there is no STR guest-parking ordinance specifying a number of spaces or a ban on street parking for vacation guests. General off-street parking requirements are set in the zoning ordinance's parking article (Article 18), which assigns minimum spaces by use; a single-family dwelling carries the standard residential parking requirement, while hotels are calculated at '1 per guest room, plus 1 employee space per 20 guest' rooms. For the one transient-lodging path the city allows, the bed and breakfast Use Permit standards in Section 19.4.8 state that 'parking requirements shall be the same as hotel/motel as specified in Article 18,' and that there shall be 'no parking in the minimum front yard.' Curb-cut access for a B&B 'shall not be from a local street.' Short-term rental guests parking on residential streets are also subject to the city's general traffic and parking rules and any HOA covenants, which the city does not enforce. Because no STR parking standard exists, hosts should not assume an allowance; the controlling rules are the use itself being unpermitted and, for a B&B, the Article 18 hotel parking ratio plus the front-yard and access restrictions in Section 19.4.8.
B&B parking in the minimum front yard or curb cuts onto a local street violate Section 19.4.8. Residential STR operations that create on-street congestion may draw Code Compliance attention to the underlying unpermitted use.
