Short-term rental guests in Orange must park in designated on-site parking spaces identified in the STR permit application. STR operations may not create parking impacts on surrounding streets under OMC Chapter 5.94.
Under OMC Chapter 5.94, short-term rental operators must identify available on-site parking spaces in their permit application. Guest parking must be accommodated on the property's designated parking areas (driveway, garage) to minimize impacts on neighboring street parking. The STR listing and house rules must clearly communicate parking instructions to guests. Operators should ensure guest vehicles do not block driveways, fire hydrants, or create safety hazards. In neighborhoods with limited street parking, particularly near Old Towne and Chapman University, STR parking management is especially important. Repeated parking complaints from neighbors may factor into permit renewal decisions.
STR operations causing persistent parking problems may face permit conditions, restrictions, or revocation. Guest vehicles violating parking laws receive standard citations.
