Union City has no STR-specific parking ordinance. Off-street parking is governed by the general zoning code, and any accessory-dwelling parking must be contained on private property without overhanging the public right-of-way per Section 18.32.020.
No ordinance sets dedicated parking ratios for short-term rentals. Parking falls under the city's general zoning standards. For accessory dwelling units, UCMC Section 18.32.020(M) requires that any off-street parking be fully contained on private property and not overhang any portion of the public right-of-way, including the sidewalk; parking may occur within driveways, on concrete aprons adjacent to driveways, or other compact material adjacent to driveways. Street parking remains subject to citywide vehicle and parking regulations. Specific STR off-street stall requirements promoted by booking platforms are unverified and not codified in the Union City Municipal Code.
Parking that overhangs the public right-of-way or sidewalk, or violates posted street-parking rules, is enforceable under the zoning code and the city's traffic and parking regulations.
