STVHR Advisory Committee Proposals for discussion: Caps, Density and Related Issues Prepared by CIndy Bernard CAPS AND DENSITY 1. A Vacation Rental Registration Certificate shall not be issued to any Business Entity other than a limited liability company. A natural person, limited liability company, or personal or family trust shall not maintain any financial interest in more than one Vacation Rental. For this purpose, financial interest includes both legal and beneficial ownership as well as any arrangement that provides for receipt of any portion of the revenues generated by the Vacation Rental. An Owner shall only be issued, and can only maintain, one Vacation Rental Registration Certificate at any time. (This is from the Palm Springs ordinance 5.25.040). 2. Cap of 5% of existing Single Family Residence housing stock located within City of 29 Palms city limits. 3. Permits inactive for 1 year or longer based on lack of reported TOT will be withdrawn. Warnings of withdrawal will be issued at a minimum of 9 months of inactivity. If TOT for a minimum of 14 days is not reported for the quarter following the warning, permit will be withdrawn. Once the ordinance is enacted, warnings will be sent to any permit that has been inactive for 1 year as of January 1, 2022 (or date that ordinances are passed). 4. Permit holders can suspend permits for a period of one year without reapplying, however if the City is over the Cap at the end of the year, those permit holders rotate onto a waiting list and must wait for a permit to suspend or withdraw to become active. 5. In order to preserve the residential character of our neighborhoods, no permit shall be granted to any lot that is adjacent to a lot that is currently permitted for STVHR use. Adjacent is defined as sharing any point or border with another lot. 6. In order to preserve the residential character of our neighborhoods, no permit shall be granted that is within a predefined distance of another STVHR according to the following parameters: a. Regions zoned with lots that are 1 acre or less: 300 ft. b. Regions zoned with lots that are greater than 1 acre but 2.5 acres or less : 600ft c. Regions zoned with lots that are greater than 2.5 acres: 1200 ft (These numbers are starting points only) Page 21 of 45 STVHR Advisory Committee Proposals for discussion: Caps, Density and Related Issues Prepared by CIndy Bernard Page 2 RELATED ISSUES 1. Permits are renewed yearly. An unrenewed permit is equivalent to not having a permit. A permit shall not be renewed if there are unresolved city code compliance cases, outstanding city fines or fees, or city liens on the property. (reference Cathedral City Ordinance 5.96.040) Permit renewal applications will be reviewed every three years to ensure that conditions at initial application are still in force including number of bedrooms and other physical characteristics. Additionally, every 3 years permit owners must submit receipts for chimney and septic maintenance with their renewals. Permits may not be renewed if proof of maintenance is not supplied. 2. All STVHRs must utilize in person check in to ensure that guests have read the rules of the house and understand the special character of fragile desert environments. A "Good Neighbor" policy must be reviewed and signed by all guests in the presence of a manager or owner. 3. STVHR applicants will be assigned a temporary tracking number for their application that is different than their permit number. No permit numbers will be issued until all inspections are completed and a permit is finalized. Applicants may not operate a STVHR until all appeals to their permit are completed and a final permit issued. STVHR applicants should be aware that it may take up to three months to complete inspections and associated paperwork and should plan accordingly, 4. The ordinance on STVHR Permit application notifications shall be adjusted so that notifications are sent on initial application and application renewal according to the following parameters: a. Regions zoned with lots that are 1 acre or less: 300 ft. b. Regions zoned with lots that are greater than 1 acre but 2.5 acres or less : 600ft c. Regions zoned with lots that are greater than 2.5 acres: 1200 ft 5. Permits are non transferable. If an STVHR is sold or otherwise disposed of, the permit shall be canceled. Page 22 of 45 Pros: 1. The distance feature lookup occurs automatically and does not need staff with GIS expertise to run the processes. 2. It uses the Assessor’s parcel data which is provided automatically to the management software through a web service. 3. The buffer radius is configurable however there is a maximum of 999 records that can be retrieved. Cons: 1. There is the possibility that the County could make a change in the configuration that would make the parcel data unable to be ingested into the management software. (This happened once when the County changed a configuration setting that caused the query not to perform.) 2. Mistyping an APN number will cause an application not to show up. (We are working on a fix to this to check for a valid APN from the parcel data). 3. The underlying Assessor’s parcel data is about two months behind in updating ownership information. There is the potential that a notice could go to an outdated address. In addition, parcels are often merged in the City, this change in the data can take a few months to be mapped in the parcel data. Lots that are merged get a new APN. 4. It is possible that an applicant could use an improper buffer radius to not find all the active and pending VHR permits. To prevent this from happening, the software would need to be changed to perform a distance check before the application process is started. This will have to be done by the software maker. Other Considerations: 1. For those VHRs that are within a buffer that sell, are the new owners not allowed to reapply if ownership changes? 2. Would the buffer apply to VHRs in areas zoned Commercial? 3. Would the buffer apply to VHRs where there is more than one single-family house on a single lot?

The purpose of this Chapter is to establish the regulations governing the use of a residential dwelling unit as a vacation home rental, as defined herein. The owner of a vacation home rental shall apply for and secure a permit authorizing such use in the manner provided for by this Chapter in order to safeguard the peace, safety and general welfare of the residents of Twentynine Palms by eliminating excessive noise, disorderly conduct, vandalism, overcrowding, traffic congestion, illegal vehicle parking and the accumulation of refuse related to vacation home rentals. B. Prior to the adoption of the provisions contained in this Chapter, there were no provisions in the City's Development Code or the County's applicable Land Use Regulations that identified or allowed the establishment of a "vacation home rental" as a legally permitted land use. Accordingly, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to identify or allow an existing use to be classified or considered a legal nonconforming vacation home rental land use subject to the provisions and allowances of Chapter 19.142 (Nonconforming Buildings and Uses). • 19.41.015 - Definitions For the purpose of this Chapter, the following definitions shall apply: A. Agent. The representative, if any, designated by the owner in accordance with Section 19.41.030 (Owner's Agent). B. Occupant. Any person who occupies or is entitled to occupy by reason of concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days. Any such person so occupying space in a vacation home rental is a transient until the period of 30 days has expired unless there is an agreement in writing between the operator and the occupant providing for a longer period of occupancy. In determining whether a person is a transient, an uninterrupted period of time extending both prior and subsequent to the effective date of this Chapter may be considered. C. Owner. The person(s) or entity(ies) that hold(s) legal and/or equitable title to the residence for which the vacation home rental permit is sought. D. Vacation Home Rental. A permitted short-term rental of any detached single-family dwelling or any portion of any detached single-family dwelling for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for a minimum of two consecutive nights, but no more than 30 consecutive calendar days in duration. "Short- term rental" is included in the definition of "hotel" for purposes of collecting transient occupancy tax pursuant to Chapter 3.24 of the Municipal Code. A vacation home rental shall be considered a short-term rental for purposes of Chapter 3.24 of the Municipal Code. City of Twentynine Palms – Final Draft Modified Vacation Home Rental Ordinance - 12/10/2021 - page 1 Page 37 of 45 • 19.41.020 - Permit Required No owner of a vacation home rental shall rent, offer to rent, or advertise for rent the vacation home rental to another person without a valid vacation home rental permit approved and issued in the manner provided for by this Chapter. A. Vacation home rental use shall be limited to only those dwelling units that are physically separate, "stand-alone" single-family residential units, not attached to or sharing a common wall, with any other residential unit being considered for the vacation home rental. B. A vacation home rental use may be established on any parcel within any land use/zoning district when such property is occupied by one or more physically separated structures built as individual single-family residential homes. Subject to the requirements and standards established in this Chapter, and approval of a Conditional Use Permit in compliance with the procedures and findings established in Chapter 19.42 (Conditional Use Permit), the Planning Commission may approve the use of attached residential units that the Planning Commission determines warrant consideration based upon their historic character or community value. • 19.41.025 - Application Fee An application for a Vacation Home Rental Permit shall be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the City Council, provided, however, the fee shall be no greater than necessary to defer the cost incurred by the City in administering the provisions of this Chapter. • 19.41.030 - Owner's Agent An owner may retain an agent or a representative to comply with the requirements of this Chapter, including, without limitation, the filing of an application for a permit that has been signed and notarized by the owner, the management of the vacation home rental, and compliance with the conditions to the permit. The permit shall be issued only to the owner of the vacation home rental. The owner is responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and the failure of an agent to comply with this Chapter shall be deemed noncompliance by the owner. • 19.41.035 - Application The owner or owner's agent shall submit an application for a Vacation Home Rental Permit to the Community Development Director (Director). The application for a Vacation Home Rental Permit shall be upon forms provided by the City and shall contain at a minimum the following information: A. The name, address and telephone number of the owner of the vacation home rental for which the permit is to be issued. B. The name, address and telephone number of the agent, if any, for the vacation home rental. C. Evidence of a valid transient occupancy tax registration certificate and business license issued by the City for the vacation home rental. City of Twentynine Palms – Final Draft Modified Vacation Home Rental Ordinance - 12/10/2021 - page 2 Page 38 of 45  D.
