Recommendation Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion, offer an Ordinance amending RMC Title 18, Zoning, Chapter 18.43, (Standards for Specific Land Uses) by amending Section 18.43.180 (Short-Term Rentals), for first reading by title only, waive the first reading; and direct the City Attorney to prepare and the City Clerk to publish a summary ordinance according to law. Fiscal Impact Adoption of the proposed Short-Term Rental Ordinance (Ordinance) would require hiring additional staff in the Planning and Code Enforcement Divisions to adequately process and enforce short-term rental permits. Fees collected from the permitted activity could offset some or all of the expense depending on the established fee. AlteNnative Action The City Council (Council) could choose to not offer the proposed ordinance for first reading and the regulations pertaining to short-term rentals will remain as they exist currently. The Council could also provide other direction to staff. Background/Analysis The Council has discussed the ordinance on multiple occasions. Below is a summary of these discussions: July 19, 2022 — The Council received a status update regarding implementation of the City of Redding's (City) ordinance. Public comment received at the meeting was mixed, with speakers both supporting and opposing tighter regulations for short-term rentals. Following this meeting, the Council and staff continued to receive community feedback regarding short-term rentals, specifically vacation rentals. Report to Redding City Council February 15,2023 Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2022-02356, by the City of Redding Page 2 August 2, 2022 — The Council directed the City Attorney to return with an Interim Urgency Ordinance which would have had the effect of prohibiting the submission and receipt of applications for vacation rental permits. August 16, 2022 — The Council considered, but ultimately did not approve, the Interim Urgency Ordinance; however, the consensus of the Council was the ordinance should be reviewed and possibly updated. The Council directed staff to return with recommendations for potential amendments to the ordinance for its consideration. October 18, 2022 — The Council reviewed staff's suggested modifications to the ordinance and provided further direction to staff to craft a revised ordinance. The ordinance revisions would then need to be brought before Planning Commission (Commission), and then subsequently to the Council for consideration. January 10, 2023 - The Planning Commission considered the proposed revisions to the ordinance and heard significant public comment in opposition. The Planning Commission considered each proposed change and provided feedback to staff. A summary of the proposed ordinance revisions, along with the Planning Commission's feedback, is presented below. The proposed ordinance revision appears first, followed by the Planning Commission's recommendation in italics. Proposed Revisions to Vacation Rental Requirements Density • Limit the number of Vacation Rentals within a geographic area based on street and neighborhood. 0 1000 feet minimum separation between Vacation Rentals located on the same street (approximately 10-15 lot separation). 0 500 feet(i.e. half the distance) minimum separation between Vacation Rentals located on separate streets. o When there are natural buffers such as major arterials or rivers/creeks the distance may be reduced to 300 feet separation between Vacation Rentals. Planning Com�nission supports this proposed revision. Location � Prohibit Vacation Rentals on properties containing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). It should be noted that ADU's permitted after 2020 are not allowed to be STR by State Law. Administratively this makes enforcement of th� ordinance difficult if any allowance is made. Planning Commission does not support thi.s propo.red revision. The Commis.rion noted that having an occupied accesso�y dwelling unit with a long-term tenant would actually provide ove�sight of the vacation rental and likely result in better compliance. Report to Redding City Council February 15,2023 Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2022-02356, by the City of Redding Page 3 Total Number of Rentals • The total number of permitted rentals shall not exceed 400 at any one time. Planning Commission does not suppo�t this p�oposed revision. The Commission is of the opinion that the combination of the proposed density requirement and enforcement of the ordinance would eliminate those rentals that a�e not willing to comply with the �egulations. The�eby, a maximum cap on the number is units is unnecessa�y. Public Hearin�Requirements • Require a Planning Commission hearing when: o One or more parties within the notification area objects. Planning Coin�nission suppo�ts this proposed revision. Owner Criteria � Owner must have owned the property a minimum of one year to be eligible to apply for a permit (require supporting documentation which will include a copy of the Grant Deed). o Owner must be a"natural person." o Owner must be the applicant. Planning Co�ninission suppo�ts this proposed revision. o Owner must be a Shasta County Resident Planning Co�ninission does not support this proposed revision. Permit Criteria • Require site manager information to be kept current with the City. • Revise maximum occupants per bedroom from two adults to two persons � Limit maximum number of people on the property at any one time to no more than 16 persons. • Require an inspection of the site prior to issuance of a permit. • Require floor plan. • Require a log of vehicle information including make, model, color, and license plate of all tenant vehicles. � Reduce the response time requirement for site managers from 60 minutes to 45 minutes. • All required parking spaces shall be available during rental periods, including garage parking. • Maximum five-bedroom homes eligible for permit. • Notification of application shall be sent to property owners within 1,000 feet of applicant's property. � The appeal period of a decision on vacation rental applications is 15 days. Planning Coinmission supports this proposed revision. � One person sha11 not have a financial interest in more than two vacation rentals within the City of Redding at any one time. Report to Redding City Council February 15,2023 Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2022-02356, by the City of Redding Page 4 • Provide one additional parking space in addition to the one per bedroom already required. Planning Coin�nission does not support this proposed revision. Sus�ension and Termination • Language regarding suspension and termination has been added. Planning Coin�nission suppo�ts this proposed revision. Le�al Nonconformin� Rentals and Amortization of Non-Conforming Uses • Language has been added to address grandfathering including addressing all existing vacation rentals not in compliance with the density regulations, which will be granted continual rights to operate for three years from the effective date of the new regulations and thereafter entered into a lottery to apply for the necessary permit. Planning Commission does not suppo�t this p�oposed revision. The Com�nission noted that the existing �entals that would not comply with the density regulations should be g�andfathered in unde� the existing Non-Confo�n�ing Regulations of the Zoning Code and should not be subject to amo�tization. Proposed Revisions to Hosted Homestav Repuirements • Require a floor plan be submitted maintaining a record of which rooms are being rented. • Require an annual af�davit concurrent with business license renewal. • Owner must, other than for purposes of daily routines, occupy the residence at all times when rooms are being provided for rent. Planning Com�nission supports this proposed�^evision. � Require one additional parking space for guest parking. Planning Com�nission does not support this proposed revision. As previously noted to the Council, should the proposed changes to the ordinance be adopted, additional staff resources would be necessary to process permit applications and adequately enforce those permits. Specifically, if public hearings are required each time a neighbor objects to a permit, or if the required notification area to neighbors is increased from 300 feet to 1000 feet, this could be a significant time commitment for staff and the Planning Commission. Additionally, increased enforcement and development of tools such as a short-term rental web portal with centralized information for the public, for example, will require additional staff time and resources. Increasing the annual permit applieation fee (currently $1,169) could assist in providing the necessary funds to support additional staffing. At this point, it is estimated that one additional Planning position and one additional Code Enforcement position is necessary. Staff will return to the Council with a proposal for an adjusted fee and prepare an accompanying budget resolution requesting and justifying additional staf�ng resourees for consideration and approval. Report to Redding City Council February 15,2023 Re: 6.1--Rezoning Application RZ-2022-02356, by the City of Redding Page 5 Envi�onmental Review The passage of the proposed ordinance is not a "project" according to the definition under the Cali�ornia Environmental Quality Act guidelines and, there�ore, is not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

Please note the application's improper address,given as 2095 Canal Street.This is the first indication the property owner does not have enough knowledge or interest in the property and neighborhood to operate a short-term rental in the manner proposed. We assume the incorrect address will make the original application invalid and a new application will be prepared and re-noticed. Our comments address the property at 2095 Canal Drive. The subject property is one of five properties on the northeast corner of South Street and Canal Drive. Upon reviewing a location map for this area of our neighborhood, one will notice a string of four unique properties on the north-east corner of South and Canal which back up to the ACID canal.These properties are urban jewels with a rural feel, with fence-free backyards allowing for a lovely open viewshed in what would otherwise be narrowly-confined, pie-sliced plots. Dating back to the 1940s, neighbors in this group of properties have enjoyed this unique characteristic, respecting each other and their property. Yet "one of these things is not like the others": a 2-story, 5-bedroom house sandwiched between several 1,000 sq.ft. bungalows.This large rental home—built four years after the other properties—is non- characteristic of the other cottages,which are predominately owner-occupied by single or coupled retirees seeking peace and quiet. In recent years under new ownership,this peace has been infringed upon daily by the dormitory-style operation of the house. Simply put: 2095 Canal Drive is not appropriate for the proposed short-term vacation rental due to the incongruous size and combination of unique site characteristics as described,along with our concerns, below: 1) DENSITY:This house has 4 bedrooms+ 1 without a closet (thus, 5 bedrooms). Per the application conditions#1 and#10,there could be up to five cars and 10 adults in this house at once, which is not a good fit for the small-scale household nature of this stretch of neighborhood. We know this will be problematic because it is CURRENTLY problematic,with the existing renta) operation consisting of a revolving door of up to 10 tenants and five cars–plus a large boat.These numbers are incongruous with the average current housing density of two people per household. 2) PARKING: a. The small driveway only accommodates one vehicle. Neighbors have already had to ask current tenants more than once not to park vehicles or trash/recycling bins on the sidewalk. We have all witnessed teens walking to Sequoia Middle School or people in wheelchairs forced to go into the street on a dangerous blind curve because a car or bins were blocking the sidewalk. b. The house currently has many tenants,who take up an inequitable amount of street parking with cars, often making it impossible for us and our friends &families(which include seniors and people with disabilities)to park in front of our own homes. Page 1 of 10 c. A gate at the driveway is big enough for a car to go through and potentially park"on-site" as noted in 3b in the Notice of Application.This could be five or more cars needing to be "on-site". Because of the unique no-fence nature of these properties, cars parked on the premises will be immediately visible from our bedrooms and backyards, ruining the open garden feel. The lack of setback between properties also places the potential "on-site" parking within two feet of the bedroom window at 642 South Street.This is totally unacceptable and does not make sense for this space. d. There is currently a derelict garage under such disrepair it is likely not capable of safely housing a vehicle. e. There is a small concrete pad for sufficiently large for one vehicle next to the "garage". However, one must drive across bare dirt to park there. Dust and erosion issues exist, given the slope both to the canal and down to 642, 632, and 622 South Street.We believe the original intent of the pad was not for parking, but for a patio, given it is immediately open to the patio/garden at 2095 Cana) Drive. f. Given these unique site characteristics,this property is not suitable for more than three cars (one in driveway,two on street) and is therefore incompatible with the application conditions. 3) FENCING: a. Because of the park-like, open feel of the other four adjoining properties, it's likely the up-to-10 renters will come on to our properties unless fences are installed. We have already experienced this with current dormitory tenants and have had to install temporary deer fencing to prevent them from coming on to our properties.This was following disregard of multiple requests to not trespass.Trespassing offenses have included driving ATVs on our properties, shooting BB guns from and into our properties, peering into our private outbuildings, smoking and drinking on our properties, and more. b. The deer fence has been ripped down at least once by current tenants or their guests.Their house has an unsightly backyard,so it is alluring for them to come on to our maintained properties. We do not wish to install permanent fencing due to the narrowness of the properties,the resulting enclosed-feel which is against the unique site characteristics, and potential decrease in property value. c. At a bare minimum,the applicant/owner should be required to split the cost to install fencing to prevent trespassing from the tenants. We also request any fencing material is agreed upon by neighbors in immediately adjoining properties to make the most minimal impact on viewshed. We are retirees on fixed incomes and nonprofit workers who otherwise do not desire fencing and it is unfair-and against the California Good Neighbor Fence Law-to bare full burden of cost. 4) NARROW LOTS:These lots are typically 50 feet wide in the front with some much narrower in the back, which compounds noise issues. Due to these unique narrow shapes, neighbors who are three doors down are only 150 feet away, compared to other neighborhoods where lots are either larger or more nearly square in shape.As such, noise and other issues immediately affect MANY households in the neighborhood.The density of residents currently at the home has led to spillover, including a routine pushing of trash bins, garbage, and vehicles(boat) onto our properties. Page 2 of 10 5) NOISE:This house has been a rental with a revolving door of increasingly disruptive tenants since 2019 (prior to that it was owner-occupied by a single parent with no issues). Numerous direct requests with renters, landowner, and police calls have been made by several neighbors for issues such as: parties/noise late at night, tenants shooting BB guns from and/or into our properties,tenants driving ATVs on our properties, loud fights, incessant dog barking and more. Noise issues are compounded by the fact that the house is two stories.Again, due to lack of setback, parties occur within mere feet of adjoining property homes. 6) PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC: The sidewalk in front of 2095 Cana) Drive is a busy pedestrian corridor between the Kutras Gardens Senior Complex, Grow Generation/Country Waffle/NSFitness center, Dollar Tree Center, and Sequoia Middle School. Sequoia is designated as a school-park site per City of Redding Parks & Recreation Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Pfan and attracts heavy usage by local residents, many who cross South Street to walk north on Canal Drive to the school. Many of the pedestrians are elderly citizens from the Kutras Gardens Senior Complex taking their small dogs for daily walks. In recent years, neighbors have needed to inform current tenants to not park vehicles on the sidewalk,to prevent pedestrian-vehicle accidents from occurring when people have to navigate this area by going into the street on a blind curve. 7) IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY TO HIGH-VO�UME TRAFFIC INTERSECTION: 2095 Canal Drive is on the northeast corner of the intersection of South Street and Canal Drive.The thoroughfare-nature of South Street to downtown and direct connection of Canal Drive to the Sequoia Middle School parking lot and drop-off zone result in intermittent periods of high-volume traffic during commute and school drop-off hours. Many cars make fast right turns from South Street heading northbound on Canal Drive.The driveway at 2095 Canal Drive is within 50 feet of this busy and irregularly-shaped intersection. �ong-term residents know to be extremely careful when backing out of driveways;this situation is unsafe for short-term renters without an on-site manager,who are unfamiliar with the volume and speed of traffic associated with commuting and school hours. 8) PROXIMITY TO OTHER SHORT-TERM RENTALS/COMPLEXES: a. 2095 Canal Drive is immediately next door to a home that has a long history as a short-term rental dating back to 2013. 642 South Street is a 3 bed/1 bath permitted hosted homestay site, with one of the spare rooms occasionally rented to one to two people with no more than one car. Owners living in the home verbally share the unique site characteristics and rules with any lodgers.This is much more appropriate to the scale and site characteristics, and neighbors support this use. b. 2095 Canal Drive is in proximity to Kutras Gardens Senior Complex,which has 84 units in both one and two-story buildings, resulting in many pedestrians and traffic, as noted above.Additional dense rental units would be too close to this facility. 9) NEIGHBORHOOD AS HAVEN FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS:The Garden Tract neighborhood is one of the few neighborhoods in Redding that provides housing for many first-time homebuyers, including young families who work Downtown. Short-term vacation rentals take this opportunity away from many people in a market that is notoriously short on workforce housing opportunities. 10) LACK OF MOTIVATION TO UPHOLD SEPARATE PARTY RUI.ES: It's unforeseeable that the property owner will be motivated to uphold item#9 of the application regarding: not renting to multiple separate parties concurrently, given the large number of bedrooms.The owner does not live on site. If business/making money is the motivator,the owner will be motivated to rent all four to five rooms to separate parties in a dormitory-style situation, as they are currently doing. What enforcement is in place to prevent this? Page 3 of 10 11) EXISTING TRACK RECORD: a. The established history of issues with current tenants does not bode well for potential application renewals. Numerous prior complaints have been made; we ask the city to consider performing due diligence in investigating police records before an initial application approval. Please keep in mind,that for every call made to the police,there were numerous times when neighbors chose to either ignore the illegal activity or work directly with tenants or owner,which has had little effect on ending the disturbances. b. The improper address on the Notice of Application, coupled with the lack of owner's name as the contact or applicant, highlights the lack of knowledge (and desire to know)this property and neighborhood. c. The current state of the home is such that we feel our property values have already decreased. Any potential buyers coming to view our homes will notice the condition of the property. 12) POTENTIAL CODE VIOLATIONS:The property owner cannot maintain the property to standards of municipal code and as such, should not be afforded an opportunity for special privileges until the property is in compliance with the code. Since they are currently non-compliant with the code,we can't expect they will meet the more stringent rules associated with a short-term rental. We believe the following code violations exist or would exist if converted to short-term rental: a. 1.15.160 C.1— "Exterior wall and/or roof coverings that have become deteriorated and do not provide adequate weather protection. (Garage building} b. 1.15.160 C.4— "Building exteriors, walls,fences, or retaining walls on which any painted surface is peeling, disintegrating, or sloughing-off to the extent that the disrepair visually impacts neighboring property or presents an endangerment to public safety."(Garage building) c. 1.15.160 E.1— "Land having topography which... as a result of grading operations... causes erosion or drainage problems so as to pose a threat to or be injurious to adjacent properties"(see item 2E above re: Parking) d. 1.15.160 E.2 - "Any..object maintained on private property that obscures the visibility to the public of public streets or public street intersections to such a degree as to constitute a hazard. Such conditions include without limitation vehicles"(Current tenant's large boat obscures vision for traffic turning north onto Canal Drive from South Street) e. 1.15.160 G.4- "Parking... Following Items in Areas Zoned for Residential Uses...Special mobite equipment as defined in Section 575 of the Vehicle Code or a utitity trailer or boat and/or boat trailer for a period of time in excess of seventy-two consecutive hours in front yard areas or in side yard or rear yard areas not screened by a fence,shrubbery or similar means. (Current tenant's boat has been parked for 9+ months) f. 1.15.160 G.4 A- "Any parking... in the side yard or rear yard area shall be either in an accessory building constructed, located, and used in accordance with the provisions of this code or in an area concealed by a fence, shrubbery, or other simitar means."(Potential for this issue if cars park in back) Page 4 of 10 g. 1.15.160 E.3A—"Properfy that Creates a Dangerous Canditian.. Conditions that due to their accessibility to the public may prove hazardous or dangerocrs, including without limitatian:Unused and broken equipment{see photo below of broken, hanging satellite dish visible from street). Current neighbors understand and support higher-density housing in urban zones and many of us have also used short-term vacation rentals while travelling.As such,we are reasonable and not`inherently opposed to shart-term rentals. However, based on all factors listed above, it is the co�bination af th�larg� �umber�f t�nar�ts at this pr�p�rty and the n�ture csf si�orf-term renters that d�es(V�T make serss�#�r this partacul�r site. 6n st�mrv�arym 2�95 �anal �rrve is ta� larg� and car� hold��� m�rry sh�rt-term r�r�ters for this str�t�h �f neighbarho�d ta handle,�a�ticuiarly ir� a uni€�ue site writh oper�-�en�e, narr�w backyard platse Conversion of this property to a short-term rental will destray the eharacteristics of this section of neighborhood, and"result in visual blight, reduced aesthetic appearance of the neighborhood and detriment ta nearby properties and praperty values.This goes against the City's stated desire ta "minimize potential negative secondary effects of short-fierm rental use on surrounding residentiaf neighbors and to retain the character of neighborhoods in which an�such use accurs,"as defined in Redding Zoning Ordir�ance 18.43:180. As such, we requesf that Planning Division's staff conduct deny this application.
