He stated he was curious to hear more about what <br />Commissioner Guerrero said about investment properties. <br /> <br />Commissioner Guerrero stated that from her understanding someone <br />might have a primary residence and a secondary residence, but if they <br />were to begin renting out their secondary residence, it would become an <br />investment property. She stated that was her point of view on <br />secondary residences not being allowed for short-term rentals. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schmidt asked how they look at that in this scenario. <br /> <br />Mr. Aknin stated that right now that secondary home is looked at as <br />housing stock and taking that off the market from someone who may <br />need it is having one less available for long-term residents. This is why <br />they want to have a primary residence requirement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Guerrero stated they are talking about two different <br />things. She stated that the issue is between ADUs versus secondary <br />units. <br /> <br />Mr. Rasiah provided the definition for primary residence as explained in <br />the ordinance. He stated that someone only has one primary residence <br />and the way that would get identified is through some sort of <br />documentation. He stated the ordinance is aimed at allowing primary <br />residences to be rented out, but not allowing second homes to be <br />rented out for the reasons already discussed. <br /> <br />Mr. Aknin stated that there are 6 of these secondary homes in the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schmidt stated that he is not sure whether 120 or 150 <br />days would be more appropriate because he isn’t sure how they even <br />arrived at that number to begin with. <br /> <br />7.B. - Page 33
