San Diego Council Members Approve Regulations on Short-Term Residential Vacation Rentals
San Diego’s tough topic on short-term
rental regulations has sparked a battle in vacation land for quite some time. After a marathon hearing on Monday, July 16, 2018, the
San Diego City Council approved strict regulations on who can operate a
short-term rental within city limits.
Mack Langston, CPM and investment
property specialist at Pacific Coast Commercial, spent most of the day on Monday
at City Hall where he gave testimony before the 9 Council members, City
Attorney and City Staff, and observed the presentations from several dozen
speakers. Each speaker was allotted one minute, but in Mack’s case, he
was given the time ceded to him by two other people. Some speakers had as
much as 10-minutes allocated to them by this method.
All the seats in the Council chambers
were taken by observers, supporters and speakers. The hearing began at
noon with a 35-minute presentation by Mayor Faulconer and his Director of Land
Use, Elyse Lowe. Following the presentation, each side (oppose and support the
Mayor’s proposal) was allotted 30-minutes for people to speak, alternating
until about 4:30 when deliberations began.
By the end of the hearing, an opposing
proposal from Councilwomen Barbara Bry, and Lorie Zaph was submitted after the
council voted 6 to 3 to defeat Mayor Faulconer’s proposal. The result was
achieved by another 6 to 3 vote that approved strict regulations on who can
operate a short-term rental within city limits.
The approved
regulations require operators to register with the city, secure a Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) certificate, obtain a Neighborhood Use Permit for dwelling
with four or more bedrooms and comply with Good Neighbor policy, including
posting local contact information on the property being rented.
Now the City Council faces the arduous
task of completing workable regulations that provide for strict code compliance
that will take effect in July 2019.
There may be legal challenges to this
outcome by the larger companies who provide platforms for advertising the
short-term rentals. Some observe that there may be some difficulty in
obtaining clearance from the California Coastal Commission.
