2 Description/Analysis Issue Detail: The sharing economy has brought new businesses and new questions about regulations to the forefront of municipal governments. Striking a balance between encouraging these new business and maintaining the safety and comfort of residents and businesses requires careful review of potential regulations. At the request of the City Council, staff has reviewed ordinances adopted by other cities regarding the use of residential dwellings by city residents for short-term vacation rentals, current Sacramento revenue and zoning regulations, and the proposal by Airbnb, and has found the following issue areas: Information from other Cities: Staff reviewed the regulations on short-term vacation rentals in other California communities including Petaluma, San Francisco, Sonoma County, Napa, and Seal Beach. Issues identified include: Whether or not the rental was owner-occupied: On-site management; The number of days a dwelling was permitted to be a vacation rental; Limits on number of people in a rental; Parking; Noticing of neighbors; and, How Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and business taxes are collected. Many of the ordinances had been recently adopted, with the San Francisco ordinance effective in January 2015 (see attached). It is worth noting that San Francisco has approximately 20,000 units while the City of Sacramento currently has around 500. This number is expected to grow as the City continues to offer cultural, arts, and sports entertainment opportunities. Planning Division Analysis: Currently in the Planning and Development Code (Title 17 of the Sacramento City Code) short-term vacation rental (the short-term rental of rooms in a dwelling or an entire dwelling unit) is considered a bed and breakfast inn. Depending on the zone, the use may be limited to seven rooms, activities other than lodging may or may not be permitted dependent on the zone, and a person s stay is limited to 14 days. A zoning administrator s conditional use permit is required in some of the residential zones. Essentially the City Code permits smaller type of hotel/transient occupancy uses in residential areas that are compatible in single family and low density multiple family areas. The bed and breakfast regulations were put in place in the 1980s to allow people to stay in existing dwellings (often historic properties) as short-term rentals in residential areas and, in limited cases, allow for events in certain higher density areas with conditions. Current bed and breakfast regulations are attached. Airbnb s Proposal: Airbnb representatives provided staff with proposed amendments to Title 17 for short-term rentals. Under their proposal short-term rentals would be a permitted use in all residential zones and many of the commercial zones. An example of the Airbnb proposed amendments is attached. 2 of 85

3 After review of ordinances adopted by other cities, the Airbnb proposal, and current Title 17 regulations, Planning Division staff recommends the following changes to Title 17 in order to allow for limited short-term vacation rental of dwellings along with maintaining the character of the City of Sacramento s residential neighborhoods: Add language that the short-term rental of a dwelling unit for a maximum of 30 days or less in a calendar year is not considered a bed and breakfast inn/short-term vacation/business rental for purposes of Title 17 (Revenue Division requirements would still apply to the rental). Include bed and breakfast use in the RE, R-1A, OB, OB2, OB3, C-4, and SC zones. (This would add the additional zones suggested in the Airbnb proposal.) Keep the zoning administrator s conditional use permit requirement for the single unit, duplex, and multi-unit zones. Increase the maximum stay from 14 days to 29 days. Remove the requirement for an on-site manager but evaluate and place appropriate conditions on the bed and breakfast if there is not an on-site manager when a conditional use permit is required. In R-1, R-1A, R-1B, and R-2 zones cannot have more than seven guest rooms and cannot have events such as weddings, conferences, and parties. In R-2A, R-2B, R-3, R-3A zones and as part of the conditional use permit, the zoning administrator may consider up to 14 guest rooms and ancillary activities. Add guest room definition to the Code. Staff finds that these changes will allow individuals to occasionally rent out all or a portion of their home without obtaining a permit from the Planning Division and that the occasional rental (29 days or less in a calendar year) will not have an adverse impact on the residential neighborhood. Staff believes, however, that individuals renting out a residential dwelling for more than 30 days in a year are operating a commercial business in a residential area and the use should be evaluated for traffic, noise, aesthetics, and operating impacts through the conditional use permit process. Proposed amendments to Title 17 are attached. If the Committee recommends that the proposed ordinance be heard by the Planning and Design Commission, staff recommends that outreach to stakeholders occur prior to the Planning and Design Commission hearing. Revenue Division Analysis: Staff is supportive of the use of residential properties for short-term vacation rentals (less than 30 consecutive days) as long as they follow the same rules as existing bed and breakfast/ hotel operations as outlined below: Operators of a bed and breakfast are required to file a Business Operations Tax Application with the City Finance Department using the application form provided by the City, and obtain a business operations tax (BOT) certificate from the City. (City Code Sections ; ) The annual BOT for operators of a bed and breakfast is fifty dollars ($50) for up to four on-site rental units (rooms) plus seventy-five cents for each on-site rental unit in excess of four units. (City Code Section (B)) 3 of 85

4 Bed and breakfast operations fall within the definition of hotel, as defined in City Code Section for purposes of the Uniform TOT. Transients occupying a bed and breakfast are required to pay TOT in the amount of a percentage of the rental charged to the transient for the transient s occupancy of the bed and breakfast. The transient pays this tax to the operator of the bed and breakfast at the time the rent for the bed and breakfast is paid. (City Code Section ) The amount of the tax shall be separately stated from the amount of the rent charged and any fee collected by an on-line rental arrangement company. (City Code Section ) The amount of the fee collected by the rental arrangement company shall be included in the tax calculation for the total amount paid for occupying the room. The operator of the bed and breakfast must remit collected TOT, on or before the last day of the month following the close of the calendar month to the City Finance Department. In remitting collected TOT, the operator shall utilize the Statement to City of Sacramento of Transient Occupany Tax form provided by the Finance Department (City Code ) The operator of a bed and breakfast is required to maintain records of TOT collected for a period of three years. (City Code Section ) Policy Considerations: Allowing short-term rentals in residential dwellings in Sacramento is consistent with the 2035 General Plan s Economic Development Business Climate goal to Maintain a supportive business climate and a healthy, sustainable economy that increase the City s ability to expand existing businesses and attract and retain new businesses. Economic Impacts: None. Environmental Considerations: This project is exempt from CEQA because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3).) Sustainability: Not applicable. Commission/Committee Action: At the November 6, 2014 Law and Legislation Committee meeting representatives from Airbnb made a presentation to the Committee introducing their business model and stating their desire to follow Sacramento City Code regulations. The Committee directed staff to analyze city residents using residential dwellings as short-term vacation rentals and the impacts on Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue and land use, and return to the Committee with the requested information and any necessary ordinances related to this issue. Rationale for Recommendation: Clarifying the City s existing short-term vacation rental regulations will assist in allowing residents of the city provide a service to visitors of Sacramento while following existing city requirements. Financial Considerations: Short-term vacation rentals will be required to pay TOT fees that are already established for individuals renting room nights in Sacramento. As such, there is no negative affect to the City s TOT revenues. 4 of 85
