Full Breakdown

UDO § 7.6(15)(e)(6) requires a minimum of one parking space dedicated to STR use at every rental property, with all parking subject to zoning regulations and any conditions the Roads and Engineering Department imposes. Section 7.6(15)(e)(5) separately bars parking of vehicles, whether on or off road, along with trailers, boats, or other towed equipment within the public right-of-way near an STR. On top of the site parking standard, § 7.6(15)(d)([11])(iv)c requires the owner-applicant's posted house policies to designate the appropriate guest parking, again subject to Roads and Engineering Department approval, and to be included in the signed rental agreement given to every renter.

Any change to the approved parking layout or site plan must be submitted to and approved by the Community Development Director under § 7.6(15)(e)(8) before it takes effect. STR applications and site plans are reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals and Planning Commission process referenced in § 7.6(15)(f)-(g), and parking compliance is one of the standards the Community Development Department checks before issuing or renewing a special use permit.

Violations & Fines

Failing to provide the required dedicated parking space, allowing parking in the right-of-way, or deviating from the approved parking plan violates UDO § 7.6(15) and carries fines of $250 to $1,000 for repeat offenses, a Magistrate Court civil penalty up to $1,000 per day, and possible revocation of the STR permit after three substantiated complaints within two years.
