Temecula STRs must provide on-site parking for guests and may not rely on overflow street parking that disturbs neighbors. The STR ordinance generally requires one off-street space per bedroom, posted parking instructions, and HOA compliance. Violations can trigger citations and contribute to permit revocation.
Temecula's STR ordinance requires that operators provide adequate on-site parking and inform guests of HOA or neighborhood parking restrictions. The standard rule is at least one off-street parking space per bedroom (driveway and garage spaces count; garages must be available for parking, not stuffed with storage). Street parking is generally allowed where legal but cannot be a substitute for on-site capacity, and overnight street parking restrictions in some Temecula neighborhoods (e.g., gated communities, certain HOA tracts) limit guest options. RV, trailer, and boat parking by STR guests is prohibited on residential streets and driveways unless specifically permitted by HOA rules. Operators must post parking rules inside the unit, including: number of permitted vehicles, where to park, prohibited locations (red curbs, fire lanes, blocking sidewalks/driveways, in front of mailboxes). Complaints about STR vehicles blocking driveways or parking on lawns are handled by Code Enforcement and can result in vehicle towing through the Temecula Police Department. Repeat parking violations linked to a single STR contribute to the violation count toward permit suspension. Old Town STRs near the public lots have additional restrictions on commercial lot use by guests.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Temecula code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
