Lake Elsinore requires short-term rental guests to park only in an approved driveway or garage, with a minimum of two off-street spaces. Guest vehicles are capped at the off-street space count, and parking on lawns, sidewalks, parkways, alleys, or blocking the street is prohibited.
Under LEMC 5.86.090(M), all guest vehicles must be parked only in an approved driveway or garage on the property. The number of vehicles is limited to the available off-street spaces, but every short-term rental must provide a minimum of two off-street spaces. If a garage counts toward that total, the owner must give guests access to it. Off-street parking may never include landscaped areas, sidewalks, parkways, walkways, or alleys, and guests may not block the driveway or street in front of the rental. The lease and in-unit posting must state the number of spaces, the location of assigned parking, and the maximum vehicles permitted. The ordinance grants no special on-street allowance, so overflow follows the City's general parking rules.
Allowing vehicles on lawns, sidewalks, parkways, or alleys, blocking the driveway or street, exceeding the space count, or failing the two-space minimum violates LEMC 5.86.090(M). Enforcement is by citation, infraction, or misdemeanor, with fines up to $5,000.
