Santa Cruz IZO §24.12.1770(3) caps vehicles at one per one-bedroom unit, two per two- or three-bedroom unit, plus one additional vehicle per bedroom over three.
Parking rules must be posted inside the unit and included in the renter agreement under §24.12.1770(7). Excess vehicles parked on neighborhood streets are a common complaint trigger and can support a permit revocation case if three verified complaints accumulate in 12 months. STRs must also comply with all underlying off-street parking requirements of the zoning district.
Parking-rule failures support permit suspension under §24.12.1785 if verified complaints accumulate.
