Township staff says site has sufficient parking for proposed short-term rentals
Summary
Planning staff told the board the two proposed short-term units (3‑bed and 2‑bed) require five spaces by bedroom-based rules; combined with restaurant and four dwelling units the lot requires 22 spaces and appears to have close to 30.
Township planning staff walked the board through the parking calculation for the mixed-use corner lot at 5974 Linglestown Road and concluded the site can meet the parking demand created by two short-term rental units.
Staff explained that parking for short-term rentals is calculated per bedroom and that the two proposed rental units total five bedrooms (three and two bedrooms). "With what the applicant is proposing, 3 bed a total of 5 bedrooms between 2 units. You're looking at 5 spaces required for the short term rental," staff said. Including existing dwelling-unit requirements and restaurant seating and employees, staff estimated 22 spaces were required for all uses and said existing on-site parking plus garages likely brings available spaces close to 30.
The board and applicant also noted public parking near the firehouse and church as supplemental capacity for peak times. Staff said no separate traffic study was required because the projected traffic increase is moderate and does not change the parking-lot layout.
