Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported short term rentals are currently defined as any dwelling being rented for a period of 14 days or less. Anyone who wants to conduct a short term rental must acquire a permit each year. Exceptions would be renting of individual rooms, and if the owner lives at the property and will be present during the rental period. It was noted all short term rental permits would expire on December 31st of each year. Permits obtained between November 1st and December 31st run through December 31st of the following calendar year. All short term rentals must have a resident agent who can/will respond to problems. Documentation of occupants is required and the list must be made available to the city upon request. Specific information must be posted in the rental for occupant’s reference (contact info for the agent, property address, diagram of emergency exits). The owner is responsible for occupants adhering to all applicable ordinances & laws. A first offense requires owner to take actions necessary to prevent further violations. A second offense within 365 days of an initial violation results in immediate permit suspension and review by the City Council. Council can then reinstate, amend conditions, or revoke the short term rental permit after a public hearing. Properties with revoked permits cannot obtain a new permit for 365 days. Persons who have a permit revoked cannot be issued a new short term rental permit for 365 days. Staff commented further on other communities are responding to short term rentals and recommended approval of the proposed Ordinance.
