REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager March 26, 2018 SUBJECT Second Reading (Adoption) of Zoning Ordinance Amendments Regarding Short Term Rental Regulations RECOMMENDATION Waive the Second Reading and Adopt the Zoning Ordinance Amendments BACKGROUND On January 8, 2018, the City Council introduced and approved amending the City Code and Zoning Ordinance. On February 26, 2018, the City Council reintroduced the Zoning Ordinance amendments and adopted the City Code amendments. ANALYSIS On January 8, 2018, the City Council waived the first reading and introduced two ordinances regarding short-term rentals. The January 8, 2018 staff report is attached to this report and contains additional background and analysis. The subject ordinances make changes to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Ordinance and add a new section to the Zoning Ordinance regulating Short Term Rentals. The City Council also requested that staff bring back language that could limit the number of listings allowed at any one time in a residence. On February 26, 2018, the City Council waived the second reading and adopted the City Code amendments to the TOT Ordinance. The City Council also waived the first reading and reintroduced the Zoning Ordinance amendments that limited the number of listings allowed at any one time to no more than two, per Council’s January 8 direction. This addition to the Zoning Ordinance will help reduce potential parking and noise impacts to nearby neighbors and support the residential character of the neighborhood. This language is included in the attached ordinance. If adopted, this ordinance will be effective 30 days from this action. However, the zoning ordinance contains a year-long amnesty period to allow time for staff to develop a registration process and for property owners to bring their properties into compliance.
