Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 30,2023 <br /> Page 3 <br /> thought when he heard that 1901 Ryan was applying to become a short-term rental <br /> was there would be another one in the neighborhood. The time that the property at <br /> 1973 Tatum has been a short-term rental the occupants of the home and the owner <br /> have all been delightful and there have not been any issues with them. But as he <br /> started looking into this issue, he got a lot more education that led him to longer <br /> term concerns for the City as a whole. When he looked at issues other cities have <br /> experienced, especially with Air BnB rentals, because they are the largest short- <br /> term rental group out there. He also saw that part of the approval process is that <br /> there have not been any code or police complaints in the last five years. He cannot <br /> speak for the other two items up for approval tonight but for the address at 1901 <br /> Ryan,it was not a surprise because there was a delightful family that lived there for <br /> the last five years and they just moved with the house being purchased. In the terms <br /> of the City's process, he did not know if staff knew any of the history on the new <br /> property owner and whether or not the owner has any other properties that are <br /> rented out and if there have been any issues with those properties. He suggested <br /> the City look into that history as well for future applications. <br /> Mr. Johnson-Powers explained the two things he found in his studies that were of <br /> interest were that the very short-term nature of people living in these homes led in <br /> other communities to degradation in the social fabric,which then in turn, caused an <br /> increase in crime. The second concern is a decrease in property values and no one <br /> wants to see that. He would encourage the City to look into this issue further. <br /> Ms.May Yang, 1921 Ryan Avenue <br /> Ms. Yang echoed everything previously said and agreed with that. She indicated <br /> she moved to Roseville six years ago because she loves the location and neighbor- <br /> hood and sees why it is so attractive for people who want to do a short-term lease <br /> but she also loves that this community is more neighborly than any place she has <br /> every lived. She strongly agreed that the community will lose this neighborly at- <br /> mosphere if the City does not have any foresight on how short-term rentals are <br /> handled. She wondered who will be responsible for making sure the property is <br /> well kept up and things like that. She thought if the City needed help, she was <br /> willing to volunteer and felt like Roseville is big enough that she was not entirely <br /> opposed to short-term rentals but she thought the City needed to figure out how <br /> many per area there should be and also are these short-term rentals paying taxes <br /> accordingly. <br /> Ms. Kelly Brooks, 1136 Ryan <br /> Ms. Brooks explained she lives next door to a short-term rental which is owner <br /> occupied. She indicated she does wake up to new neighbors everyday in addition <br /> to the neighbors that live there. She did not have opposition to any of these license <br /> applications specifically but she echoes the other speakers concerns and thought <br /> that the City needs to look at this comprehensively and not only for the short-term <br /> rentals that are not owner occupied but also the ones that are owner occupied. She <br /> noted she did call last summer and talked to the City Planner and he said the owner <br />
