Full Breakdown

The Land Development Code's short-term rental notification requirements direct the owner of a type 2 or type 3 rental to post, conspicuously in the unit, the operator's contact information, license numbers, applicable noise restrictions, a trash schedule, the no-event rule, and any applicable parking restrictions. The code does not set a separate numeric off-street parking minimum specific to short-term rentals in the district-use table; the underlying property's general off-street parking standard under LDC § 36-455 applies.
