Maximum # of Tenants in SFR? La Mirada/LA County

Hi folks, as the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out if there are any limits on the number of renters you can have in a single family house in La Mirada, CA (which is in LA County). I know some municipalities only allow "x number of unrelated adults." I can pay a visit to the city, but I was hoping to find an answer online today.

I'm in escrow to buy a house, nearing the end of my inspection period. I plan on renting some rooms to students of the local university. I know other landlords in the area rent out to large numbers of students at a time, but for all I know, they might be violating local ordinances. Just want to cover all my bases. 

I've read sections of the municipal code on residential zoning before, but not for this question, and now I'm having trouble finding the text of the code again, and I don't know what section I would find the answer in anyway.  I don't recall seeing anything limiting the number of residents, other than a square footage per person requirement. 

Anyone in the LA County area have some insight on this, or how best to find out? It would be much appreciated :)
