ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

After extensive public input and research on issues related to short-term rentals (STRs), staff is proposing regulations that will go into effect on July 8, 2024.  These regulations include a permitting process and fee, inspections, operational requirements, and a process for revoking permits.  The proposed regulations also create a limited parking zone which can be utilized city-wide regardless of the presence of a STR and clarifies the remittance and audit of hotel occupancy taxes for STRs.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
