Summary
Spokane County has no STR-specific parking count. For a bed-and-breakfast home industry, SCC Title 14 states parking, traffic, and storage requirements 'shall be as approved by the Hearing Examiner' as part of the Conditional Use Permit, alongside the zone's general off-street parking standards.
Parking, traffic, and storage requirements shall be as approved by the Hearing Examiner.
Full Breakdown
The Zoning Code's home-industry standards provide that 'Parking, traffic, and storage requirements shall be as approved by the Hearing Examiner.' So a county bed-and-breakfast's guest-parking obligation is set case-by-case in the Conditional Use Permit rather than by a fixed spaces-per-bedroom rule. General off-street parking standards in SCC Title 14 also apply to the underlying residential use. There is no separate 'STR parking' ordinance for unincorporated Spokane County.
Violations & Fines
Providing less parking than the Conditional Use Permit requires, or allowing guest overflow onto rights-of-way, can trigger zoning enforcement and, on public roads, parking citations under county road rules.
