Summary
Every Upland short-term rental must provide one additional off-street parking space for each bedroom being rented, stacked on top of the dwelling's normal residential parking requirement. A host cannot satisfy the extra spaces with street parking as of right; Section 17.23.1.090(D) leaves that to the Director's case-by-case approval.
The minimum number of parking required is one additional space for each bedroom of the house to be used for short-term rental. This requirement is in addition to the parking requirement for the dwelling unit pursuant to this Code. The Director on a case by case basis may allow parking on the street within the lot frontage of the dwelling unit to count toward meeting this parking requirement.

Full Breakdown
090(D) sets the short-term rental parking standard as one additional space per bedroom offered for rent, layered on top of whatever off-street parking the dwelling already needs to satisfy under the base residential zoning standards elsewhere in Title 17. Because the rule is tied to bedroom count, a host renting out three bedrooms of a five-bedroom house needs three extra spaces beyond the home's normal requirement, not five. 090(P) requires the host to make the garage available for renter parking if the garage was counted toward the required spaces.
Street parking generally does not count: the Director may allow it only case by case, and only within the lot's own frontage, not the frontage of a neighboring parcel. 090(W)(2) separately bars limousine and bus parking, and any stopping without the driver present, wherever it would block emergency vehicle access, folding the parking rule into the chapter's broader nuisance and safety conditions for guests.
Violations & Fines
Failing to provide the required per-bedroom parking, or blocking emergency access with guest vehicles, violates the operating conditions of Chapter 17.23.1 and can be cited under Upland's administrative citation program in Chapter 1.22, with fines starting at $100 for a first infraction and escalating to $500 for a third offense within 12 months, plus the risk of permit revocation after a third violation.
