Every short-term rental application must include a site plan showing the location of any required parking. Under the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, STRs must generally provide one off-street parking space per two guest bedrooms, the same ratio as a bed-and-breakfast or hotel.
Parking is reviewed at permitting. The application's required attachments include 'a site plan indicating the location of any required parking.' The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance sets the off-street parking ratio for short-term rentals at one space for every two guest bedrooms, matching the standard for bed-and-breakfasts and hotels/motels; larger residential STRs are held to the same one-space-per-two-bedrooms ratio. The exact requirement varies by zoning district and permit type, and some historic or downtown districts may reduce or waive parking, so applicants should confirm with Safety and Permits.
Failing to provide the required parking site plan means the department must deny the application; operating outside the approved plan is a prohibited act subject to fines of at least $1,000 per offense.
