The City Council of the City of Redding does ordain as follows: Section 1. The definition of "Transient" in Section 4.12.010 (Definitions) is amended to read as follows: "Transient" means any person who exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy 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 any room or rooms or portion thereof in a hotel, or space in any campground or recreational vehicle park, shall be deemed to be 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. Any occupant entering into a written month-to-month agreement shall not be considered a transient. A registration form signed by the occupant showing consecutive dates of occupancy will suffice as a written agreement between the operator and the occupant. Any occupant who enters into a written agreement providing for occupancy of 30 or more consecutive days, but terminates his or her occupancy without paying for at least 30 days, shall be considered a transient. In determining whether a person is a transient, uninterrupted periods of time extending both prior and subsequent to the effective date of amendment of this chapter may be considered. Section 2.
