REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 7/8/2024 Item No.: 10.c. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Approve the renewal of a short-term rental license for 257 South McCarrons Blvd W 1 2 Background 3 Chapter 909 of the City Code requires the licensing of non-owner-occupied short-term rentals of dwelling 4 units, subject to certain exemptions. The original short-term rental license for 257 South McCarrons 5 Boulevard West was issued on July 13, 2021, and this owner has obtained a license each year since. On 6 May 19, 2024, an application for renewal of the short-term rental license was submitted by the property 7 owner. The property is a five-bedroom, single family home. The property owner has certified and attested 8 to the requirement of lodging tax payment, as well as the maximum occupancy of four or less unrelated 9 adults or one family. The subject property’s current short-term rental license is valid through July 14, 2024. 10 There have been no confirmed nuisance or property maintenance violations. There have been no 11 payments of lodging tax, although the property owner informed staff there have been no rentals requiring 12 lodging tax payments. Short-term rental licenses include the requirement of minimum stays based on on- 13 season (10 days) and off-season (7 days) times of the year. 14 Upon renewal, the license will be valid for 365 days from the expiration date of the current license. A 15 current copy of the license must be posted in the rental unit, along with current copies of City Code 16 Sections 405, 407 and 602. Within ten days of Council approval, all residential properties of one to four 17 units within 300 feet must be provided with a copy of the City-issued license. A draft of the license is 18 provided as Attachment 2. 19 The applicant has supplied all required license information and paid the license fee of $515. In accordance 20 with Section 909.03, the process for licensure is outlined in Chapter 301, which requires presentation to 21 the City Council. Based upon the requirements outlined in the ordinance, the property owner is entitled to 22 a license renewal. 23 24 It is also important to note that residents have requested the current short-term rental license be revoked 25 because of the fence that was recently erected in the City right-of-way located in front of the property. 26 This fence is not permitted, which is why residents have requested revocation of the short-term rental 27 license. This issue has been discussed with the City Attorney, who has advised that 1) the illegally 28 erected fence cannot be included as a violation given a permit was issued by the City for the fence 29(albeit in error) and 2) there are no other confirmed violations related to rentals and City Code requires 30 two confirmed violations before suspension, revocation and/or non-renewal could be considered. 31 32 Policy Objectives 33 Licensing is required by Section 909, effective as of February 8, 2021. 34 35 36 Racial Equity Impact Summary 37 Staff have not identified any racial equity impacts related to this action.
