South Gate Ordinance No. 2021-01-CC does not publish an STR-specific guest-parking ratio. STR parking defaults to SGMC Chapter 11.33 (Parking Standards) and the residential parking rules of SGMC Chapter 11.25, which require vehicles to be parked in the designated driveway or garage and prohibit storing recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers on the designated driveway.
Under SGMC Chapter 11.25 (Residential Neighborhood Zones), parking of vehicles 'shall only occur within the designated driveway or garage.' No vehicle or trailer for daily use may be parked or stored for more than 36 hours in any required building-line setback area other than on a designated parking space, and no recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer for occasional or recreational use may be parked or stored on a designated driveway. Single-family residences in South Gate must provide a minimum two-car covered garage under Chapter 11.25 development standards. STR guests must park on-site (driveway or garage); they may also use the public street where parking is otherwise allowed, but extended overnight street parking is regulated by SGMC Title 8 (Vehicles and Traffic). Because Ord. 2021-01-CC does not increase the residential ratio for STR use, hosts should confirm whether the operating standards or business-license conditions impose additional on-site parking before accepting bookings with multiple vehicles.
Parking in a setback, on a lawn, or storing RVs/boats/trailers on the driveway violates SGMC Chapter 11.25 and is enforceable by administrative citation. Extended street parking violations are enforced under SGMC Title 8. STR-related parking complaints can support nuisance findings against the host under Ord. 2021-01-CC and SGMC Chapter 7.42.
