Full Breakdown
Sec. requires sufficient on-site, off-street parking, but sets no fixed space count; instead, the director of planning or a designee decides what's sufficient when reviewing the application. , 'Maintenance of the neighborhood character,' which directs the unified government to weigh 'on- and off-site parking constraints' along with the concentration of short-term rentals on a block and the property's violation history. That dual treatment matters because the administrative-review track for owner-occupied rentals has no cap on how many rentals can operate on a street block, per Sec.
' With no block-level density limit for owner-occupied units, the case-by-case parking-sufficiency review and the neighborhood-character standard become the main tools the unified government uses to keep rental-related vehicle congestion in check.
Violations & Fines
A rental found short on required off-street parking, or one generating parking-related neighborhood complaints, risks the director of planning withdrawing its administrative approval or the special use permit being pulled through the revocation procedure in Sec. 27-209, since parking sufficiency is a standard tied to that intro clause in Sec. 27-623(a)(4).
