18.43.180 Short -Term Rentals
A. Purpose
The purpose of this Section is to establish an appropriate permitting process and standards for
short-term rental of single-family dwellings and dwelling units located in the Downtown Redding
Specific Plan area; to provide a visitor experience and accommodation as an alternative to the
typical hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast accommodations customarily permitted in the city; to
minimize potential negative secondary effects of short-term rental use on surrounding residential
neighborhoods; to retain the character of the neighborhoods in which any such use occurs; and
ensure the payment of required transient occupancy taxes.
B. Types of Short -Term Rentals. For purposes of this Section, the following Short -Term
Rental facilities are established:
Hosted Homestay. An owner (or the primary occupant with the written permission of
the owner) occupied single-family dwelling unit where, for compensation, individual
overnight room accommodations are provided for a period of less than thirty days.
Vacation Rental. An entire dwelling unit where, for compensation, overnight
accommodations are provided for a period of less than thirty days and the owner (or
the primary occupant with the written permission of the owner) may or may not reside
within the dwelling unit for the term of the rental.
C. Short -Term Rental Permit Requirements. No person shall use, advertise, or market for
use, any dwelling unit on any parcel in any zoning district for short-term rental purposes
without first obtaining approval as required by this Section. The provisions of this
ordinance apply to all existing and future short term rentals as defined in this
Section. Existing short term rental facilities shall either apply for, or obtain authority to
operate, within sixty days of the effective date of this ordinance. Short-term rentals located
within the Downtown Redding Specific Plan area shall follow the process set forth for
hosted homestays defined in subsection (C)(1) of this Section. The following approval
process is established:
Hosted Homestay: This use is permitted within all zoning districts subject to obtaining
a Zoning Clearance from the Director and providing an affidavit certifying that the
owner understands and agrees to the requirements of this Section. Applicants may be
required to provide a site plan or other information determined necessary by the
Director to determine compliance with this Section and shall pay an application fee as
may be established by resolution of the City Council.
2. Vacation Rental. Site Development Permit issued by the Director in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 18.11, Common Procedures and Chapter 18.13, Site
Development Permits of this Code, except that site development permits for Vacation

D. Districts in Which Permitted. The regulations of this chapter apply to short-term rentals
in all zoning districts.
E. General Requirements - Hosted Homestay.
1. No more than one dwelling unit on a lot may be used at any one time for short term
rental purposes.
2. A maximum of two rooms may be available for rent at any time.
3. Occupancy shall be limited to a maximum of two adults per rented room. Room rental
shall be limited to a maximum of 180 rental days per calendar year.
4. The property owner must occupy the residence at all times when rooms are being
provided for rent.
A minimum of one on-site parking space shall be provided for each room rented. Guest
parking spaces shall be within the primary driveway or other on-site location. External

6. Short-term rentals shall meet all applicable building, health, fire and related safety codes
at all times, including provision of working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
7. The owner shall post emergency evacuation instructions and "house policies" within
each guest bedroom. The house policies shall be included in the rental agreement, and
shall be enforced by the owner. At a minimum, the house policies should:
a. Reinforce the City of Redding's Noise Standards (RMC Section 18.40. 100) by
establishing outdoor "quiet hours" between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. to
minimize disturbance to neighboring residences. Outdoor activities are
prohibited during "quiet hours."
b. Require that guest vehicles be parked on the premises, not the street in
compliance with this Section.
