Lima has no short-term-rental-specific parking requirement. STR guest parking is governed by the City's general off-street parking and zoning standards in the Planning and Zoning Code (Part Twelve) and by the traffic-code on-street parking rules (Part Three), the same standards that apply to any residence.
Because there is no STR ordinance, Lima does not mandate a set number of dedicated guest parking spaces for a short-term rental. Off-street parking for dwellings is set by the City's zoning regulations in Part Twelve (Planning and Zoning Code), and on-street parking is governed by the traffic provisions in Part Three of the Codified Ordinances, including any posted time limits, snow-route, and prohibited-zone rules. A host must not create a parking nuisance; vehicles blocking driveways, hydrants, or exceeding posted limits are subject to the general parking-enforcement and towing provisions. Operators in single-family zones typically rely on the driveway and available on-street parking under these general rules. Confirm the required off-street parking for the specific district with the Building and
Illegally parked guest vehicles are cited under the traffic code (Part Three) and may be ticketed or towed; there is no separate STR parking penalty. Persistent parking nuisance can also be addressed through the City's general nuisance enforcement.
