Full Breakdown
Under Section 4.10.3 of the Unified Land Development Code, a Short-Term Rental Unit is a listed use in Table 4.10.3.1, Required Vehicular Parking, and must provide one off-street parking space for every two guests. The requirement sits inside the City's general off-street parking article, which requires parking facilities to be located on the same parcel as the use they serve. Table 4.10.3.1 was added citywide effective August 6, 2024 by Ordinance No. 2024-13, replacing the prior ULDC parking schedule with the current use-by-use ratios, including the Short-Term Rental Unit line.

Failing to meet the ratio exposes the property to code enforcement referral, revocation of its development order or permits, and legal action for damages or an injunction in Sarasota County court.
