Summary
Norman requires every short-term rental licensee and guest to comply with the City's parking ordinances, and the license application itself must include a site diagram showing on-site parking. NCC 20-2702 makes a parking violation a license condition, while NCC 20-2703 requires the diagram and NCC 20-2707 requires the parking layout to be posted for guests.
A licensee or guest of a short-term rental shall not violate any parking ordinances of this Code. ... A diagram showing the proposed layout of the property use and any on-site parking available, including a floor plan indicating fire exits and escape routes.
Full Breakdown
NCC 20-2702, General Conditions, states plainly that 'a licensee or guest of a short-term rental shall not violate any parking ordinances of this Code,' folding the City's general traffic and parking rules directly into the conditions of the STR license. To document compliance up front, NCC 20-2703 requires every license applicant to submit 'a diagram showing the proposed layout of the property use and any on-site parking available,' along with a floor plan showing fire exits and escape routes, as part of the license application the City Clerk reviews.
Once licensed, NCC 20-2707 requires the operator to post, in a location prominently visible to guests, and to include in a guest information packet, 'the location of any on-site and off-site parking spaces available for guests' along with separate parking restrictions. The City also notifies adjacent property owners of a pending STR application under NCC 20-2703, giving neighbors a channel to flag parking or other neighborhood-character concerns before a license issues. A violation of the parking ordinances referenced in NCC 20-2702, like any other license condition, feeds into the denial, suspension, or revocation standard of NCC 20-2709, which weighs the frequency and intent behind repeat violations occurring in the 24 months before an application.
Violations & Fines
Violating the City's parking ordinances at a short-term rental is a license condition failure under NCC 20-2702 and can lead to denial, suspension, or revocation of the STR license under NCC 20-2709. The underlying parking offense itself is separately punishable under the Code's traffic-parking penalty, which the general penalty section, NCC 1-114, caps at a $200.00 fine for parking violations.
