74 indicates potential disparities in public safety concerns, building code issues, and health violations 75 among different hotels, which may have varying impacts on historically underrepresented communities. 76 While the ordinance aims to address regulatory gaps and enforce consistent safety standards, staff 77 recognizes the importance of impartially acknowledging both positive and negative impacts. 78 79 Positive impacts include enhanced safety measures, improved quality standards, and potential 80 economic growth resulting from a well-regulated hotel industry. However, staff also acknowledge 81 potential negative impacts, such as financial barriers for smaller hotels and unintended consequences 82 for vulnerable populations, including those experiencing homelessness. The ordinance may 83 inadvertently lead to affordability challenges, impacting low-income individuals seeking temporary 84 lodging. Through ongoing monitoring and data tracking, staff aims to evaluate the ordinance's impact on 85 historically underrepresented communities, ensuring that the decision-making process remains 86 informed, balanced, and responsive to the diverse needs of the community. This approach aligns with 87 Roseville's commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and economically vibrant community for all 88 residents. 89 90 There is limited data to indicate the demographics of persons using Roseville hotels. 91 92 Data taken from a study commissioned by Visit Roseville and done by Lawrence and Schiller regarding 93 2019 visitors to Roseville and information from Explore Minnesota regarding visitors to the state are 94 included as part of the completed Racial Equity Toolkit for the Lodging Establishment License. That 95 information shows that 14% of visitors to Roseville are non-white and that 58% of visitors have a 96 household income less than $75,000 annually. (Note that these are visitors to Roseville and not 97 necessarily persons staying at hotels). 98 99 Budget Implications 100 Administration and enforcement of the Lodging Establishment License will be done by existing staff of 101 the Administration, Community Development, Fire, and Police Department. 102 103 Under state law, cities can only charge up to $150 for a lodging establishment. With 12 hotels in 104 Roseville and a $150 license fee, the City would collect $1,800 in revenue. 105 106 Staff Recommendations 107 Staff recommends the City Council review the information included in this case and provide staff with 108 feedback and direction on the draft ordinance. Based on that feedback and direction, staff will bring 109 back the ordinance for adoption at a future meeting. If the City Council desires to pass the ordinance at 110 the March 4 meeting, the draft ordinance has been posted on the City website in compliance with state 111 law and is eligible for adoption. 112 113 Requested Council Action 114 The City Council should review the information included in this case and provide staff with feedback and 115 direction on the draft ordinance. If the City Council desires to pass the ordinance at the March 4 116 meeting, a motion should be made to adopt the draft ordinance and a separate motion should be made 117 to adopt the ordinance summary. 118 119 Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager (651) 79-7021 pat.trudgeon@cityofroseville.com Prepared by: 1.
