Palm Springs caps STR guest parking to on-site spaces and prohibits overflow onto neighborhood streets, with strike enforcement under Ch. 5.25.
PSMC Chapter 5.25 requires every vacation rental to designate a specific number of parking spaces corresponding to its occupancy limit (typically one space per bedroom, matching the two-per-bedroom occupancy model). All guest vehicles must park on-site in the designated driveway, garage, or approved parking area. Street parking by guests is prohibited where it creates neighborhood disturbance, and some HOAs and districts ban STR-guest street parking entirely. RVs, trailers, and oversized vehicles generally may not be parked at rental properties. Violations are enforced via the 24-hour hotline and count toward the two-strike system. Operators must post the parking plan and space count in the guest house manual and cannot exceed listed capacity regardless of vehicle size.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Palm Springs code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
