1 Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals White Paper August 22, 2017

2 I. Introduction The purpose of this Governance item is to examine Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals to provide the City Council with research about the use, regulatory environment, local and national trends and examples of best practices. This White Paper is the first phase of the Governance process and is intended to provide background information on the topic of Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals. The second phase of the process will occur on a separate meeting date and includes expert testimony from various perspectives and public comments related to Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals. The third and final phase of the Governance process is City Council dialogue and to make a policy decision regarding Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals which will provide direction to staff on how to proceed. The schedule for the Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals Governance Process is: August 22, 2017: Phase 1 Environmental Scan, presentation of White Paper September 19, 2017: Phase 2 Expert Testimony/Public Comment October 17, 2017: Phase 3 Council Dialogue/Policy Decision 1.0 BACKGROUND The City first considered this topic in 2015 and at that time, it was determined that short-term rentals should be prohibited based on the following findings: The City of Burnsville is committed to maintaining the quality of life and has a compelling interest in protecting the character of its residential neighborhoods. Rental of private homes for temporary occupancy threatens the essential character and stability of residential neighborhoods because short-term tenants have little interest in the welfare of the local community, do not engage in activities that strengthen residential neighborhoods, and do not integrate into residential neighborhoods. Rental of private homes for temporary occupancy disturbs residential neighborhoods by creating excessive noise, accumulation of refuse, trespassing, disorderly conduct, vandalism, high occupant turnover, excessive traffic, and excessive numbers of parked motor vehicles. Regulating rental of private homes for temporary occupancy is necessary to protect the essential character of residential neighborhoods and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Rental of residential homes for temporary occupancy is often undertaken without adequate on site management, compliance with state and local codes for commercial lodging establishments, and other safeguards for those renting the home. 2

3 The Burnsville City Code was amended on February 16, 2016 via Ordinance 1368, to regulate short-term rentals under Title 3, Business Regulations to prohibit the use. At the January 27, 2017 All Day Work Session, Council reviewed the current ordinance and directed staff to research short-term rentals and proceed to review more detailed information through the Governance process and then determine whether and how to regulate short-term rentals and if a policy change is needed. 1.1 WHAT IS A SHORT-TERM (VACATION) RENTAL Many municipalities define short-term vacation rentals differently; however, generally speaking, a short-term rental is a dwelling unit, bedroom, or couch rented for a period of less than thirty consecutive days, with or without the property owner or tenant present. Some jurisdictions use other terms including vacation rental, timeshare, and tourist rooming house. By comparison, Lodging Establishment in the State of Minnesota is generally any structure, or any part thereof, that is offered for less than a week. 1.2 WHY ARE SHORT-TERM (VACATION) RENTALS POPULAR Vacation rentals are one example of the growth of the sharing economy also known as collaborative consumption or the peer economy, characterized by individuals sharing goods and services when not in use. The millennials, (Generation Y or people generally born between 1981 and 2001), have a new ethic about our relationship to things, transportation, where we live and the trend is changing from individual ownership and exclusively using to not owning, not possessing and not using alone. Sharing space became popular in the United States in the early 1970 s when timeshare or vacation ownership became a popular way for people to vacation. Wikipedia defines timeshare as: A property with a divided form of ownership or use rights. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each owner of the same accommodation is allotted their period of time. The minimum purchase is a one week ownership, and the high season weeks demand the higher prices. Units may be sold as a partial ownership, lease, or right-to-use, in which case the latter holds no claim to ownership of the property. The ownership of timeshare programs is varied, and has been changing over the decades to accommodate the changing needs of the vacationing public who may prefer timeshare ownership to the more conventional forms of accommodations such as resort, hotels and motels. Short-term rentals are popular partly because they do not require the individual to make a longterm commitment or go through the cumbersome process and expense required for a traditional timeshare. Short-term rental is part of the sharing economy made possible through the internet, web based services and cell phone technologies. According to the American Planning Association, More than half of millennials have used sharing services. 3

4 The emergence of short-term rental websites, such as Airbnb, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, FlipKey, HomeToGo, VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner), and others, allow hosts to efficiently offer space for rent and for users to find them. Sites such as Airbnb offer guests a wider variety of options than a standard hotel, as users can rent everything from a single family house to a castle, to a tree house. Today, it is possible to rent a shared or private room for the night, an apartment or a whole house by simply searching the internet. Short-term rentals are commercial operations but they tend to be located within residential neighborhoods where homeowners offer their home or areas within the home out to the public for rent. Some people prefer to vacation in a home rather than a traditional hotel/motel or resort because it is cheaper, more comfortable and the guest experiences the local culture as opposed to commercial destinations. Short-term rentals are also popular with property owners because they can generate significant income for the owner. Short-term rental owners do not have the same overhead costs, are often not required to be commercially taxed, licensed or meet the same level of health and safety standards as traditional Bed and Breakfast, hotel/motel and resorts. 1.3 POSITIVE PERCEPTIONS OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS 1. Embrace the growth of the sharing economy 2. Provide additional income for hosts 3. Support tourism and provide a financial benefit to the local economy 4. Potential source of income for government through taxes and fees 5. Help reduce blight, activate neighborhoods, and support local businesses 6. Provide additional revenue for those aging in place and may provide an opportunity for sharing chores and bartering for services which can enable older people to stay in their homes longer. 7. The negative impacts on neighborhood quality of life and affordable housing may be over stated as most operators are good managers 8. Short-term rentals may provide a benefit with regard to existing commercial lodging by stimulating competition and lowering prices for the consumer. 1.4 NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS 1. Commercial encroachment in residential neighborhoods 2. Reduce neighborhood quality of life: late night activity, noise, crime, litter, property damage, fire danger, loitering, reduced on-street parking, maintenance 4

5 3. Reduction in long-term residents which changes the character of neighborhoods 4. Potential to reduce the number of affordable housing units in a city 5. Potential for overcrowding/maximum occupancy 6. Since there are few regulations specific to short-term rentals it can be difficult to locate them and determine the length of stay 7. Not a level playing field with hotels, bed and breakfasts: no license, no taxes, not held to same safety requirements, and have lower capital and operating costs 8. May reduce commercial lodging revenues because short-term rentals do not pay the occupancy taxes paid by commercial lodging 9. Potential issues for septic systems excessive water use and/or using products not intended for septic systems potentially more occupants than the system is designed to accommodate 10. Unions and service workers often oppose short-term rentals because they do not need the workers employed in commercial lodging 11. Much of the short-term rental market is unregulated. Those who rent typically do not have their premises regularly inspected to determine compliance with health, building, housing, and safety codes 12. Many short-term hosts do not have homeowners / liability insurance to cover losses that may result from occupancy 13. Potential life safety issue and in the event of death, injury, or property damage, there may not be insurance coverage or sufficient assets available to cover the liability 14. If unregulated, there is no mechanism to investigate and resolve complaints from patrons 15. If located in a home owners association (HOA), there may be conflicts with the association bylaws prohibiting this use 16. No standard for review for property owners such as criminal background history 5

6 II. Regulatory Environment 2.0 STATE OF MINNESOTA / DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Within Minnesota, the MN Department of Health (MDH) has licensing jurisdiction over food, pools, and lodging services. Licenses are issued according to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter and Minnesota Rules, Chapter Additional rules and statutes may also be applicable depending upon the specific operation: 1. M.S through and M.S through Minn. Rules Chapter 4626 (if food/beverage is offered) The following definitions describe the establishments and rentals that are required to be registered, licensed and inspected by the MDH according to state law: Lodging Establishment Means: (1) A building, structure, enclosure, or any part thereof uses as, maintained as, advertised as, or held out to be a place where sleeping accommodations are furnished to the public as regular roomers, for periods of one week or more, and having five or more beds to let to the public; or (2) a building, structure, or enclosure or any part thereof located within ten miles distance from a hospital or medical center and maintained as, advertised as, or held out to be a place where sleeping accommodations are furnished exclusively to patients, their families, and caregivers while the patient is receiving or waiting to receive health care treatments or procedures for periods of one week or more, and where no supportive services, as defined under section , subdivision 1, paragraph (a), or health supervision services, as defined under section , subdivision 1, paragraph (b), or homecare services, as defined under section 1144A.471, subdivisions 6 and 7, are provided. Boarding establishment. "Boarding establishment" means a food and beverage service establishment where food or beverages, or both, are furnished to five or more regular boarders, whether with or without sleeping accommodations, for periods of one week or more. Hotel or motel. "Hotel or motel" means a building, structure, enclosure, or any part thereof used as, maintained as, advertised as, or held out to be a place where sleeping accommodations are furnished to the public and furnishing accommodations for periods of less than one week. 6

7 Resort. "Resort" means a building, structure, enclosure, or any part thereof located on, or on property neighboring, any lake, stream, skiing or hunting area, or any recreational area for purposes of providing convenient access thereto, kept, used, maintained, or advertised as, or held out to the public to be a place where sleeping accommodations are furnished to the public, and primarily to those seeking recreation for periods of one day, one week, or longer, and having for rent five or more cottages, rooms, or enclosures. Bed & Breakfast - Owner occupied establishments which offer lodging and breakfast, without a limitation on the number of rooms offered. If breakfast is offered to more than 10 persons, a commercial kitchen is required. Licensing: Depending on the length of the rental, vacation home rentals may require a license. Licenses are issued for the calendar year and renewed annually. License fees are found in Minnesota Statutes, section and Minnesota Rules, section The location of the vacation home rental determines which agency is responsible for plan review and licensing LICENSES REQUIRED; FEES. Subd. 1. License required annually. A license is required annually for every person, firm, or corporation engaged in the business of conducting a food and beverage service establishment, youth camp, hotel, motel, lodging establishment, public pool, or resort. Any person wishing to operate a place of business licensed in this section shall first make application, pay the required fee specified in this section, and receive approval for operation, including plan review approval. Special event food stands are not required to submit plans. Nonprofit organizations operating a special event food stand with multiple locations at an annual one-day event shall be issued only one license. Application shall be made on forms provided by the commissioner and shall require the applicant to state the full name and address of the owner of the building, structure, or enclosure, the lessee and manager of the food and beverage service establishment, hotel, motel, lodging establishment, public pool, or resort; the name under which the business is to be conducted; and any other information as may be required by the commissioner to complete the application for license. Subd. 2. License renewal. Initial and renewal licenses for all food and beverage service establishments, youth camps, hotels, motels, lodging establishments, public pools, and resorts shall be issued on an annual basis. Any person who operates a place of business after the expiration date of a license or without having submitted an application and paid the fee shall be deemed to have violated the provisions of this chapter and shall be subject to enforcement action, as provided in the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act, sections to In addition, a penalty of $60 shall be added to the total of the license fee for any food and beverage service establishment operating without a license as a mobile food unit, a seasonal temporary or seasonal permanent food stand, or a special event food stand, and a penalty of $120 shall be added to the total of the license fee for all restaurants, food carts, hotels, motels, lodging establishments, youth camps, public pools, and resorts operating without a license for a period of up to 30 days. A late fee of $360 shall be added to the license fee for establishments operating more than 30 days without a license. 7

8 Depending upon the establishment, more than one agency may have jurisdiction and additional licenses may be required as identified in Figure 1: FIGURE 1 LICENSES REQUIRED PER TYPE OF LODGING Lodging License Type Number of Units Duration of Stay Additional Licenses Which May be Needed Bed & Breakfast 1 or more 1 night or longer Food (see: Bed and Breakfast Operations) Resort 5 or more 1 night or more Food and Beverage (see: Food Business Licensing) Swimming Pool-Spa Pool (see: Public Swimming Pools) Lodging 5 or more One week or more A Special Services Registration may be required (see: Boarding and Lodging with Special Services or Housing with Services) Boarding 5 or more One week or more Food (see: Food Business Licensing) Establishment Hotel/Motel 1 or more One day or longer Food (see: Food Business Licensing) Swimming Pool-Spa Pool (see: Public Swimming Pools) Vacation Home Rentals 1 or more One day or longer Visit Explore Minnesota: Vacation Home Rental for more information. A hotel/motel license may be required. Real Estate licensees, who provide property rental and management services as licensed under chapter 82, are allowed to operate vacation home rental management businesses without an additional MDH license. The vacation home rental unit or units themselves may require additional licensing, which may be provided by the unit owner or the rental management company or broker. People who offer their vacation home for short-term rental through a real estate licensee or management company need to verify that the real estate licensee is actually licensed through the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The definitions and thresholds for uses or activities that require state licensing overlap and have gaps, and do not always allow for a prospective property or business owner to determine with ease or certainty what license or approvals are required or from what state agency. The MDH website contains the following guidance with respect to licensing: To determine whether your license will be issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) or another agency, see the Food, Pools, and Lodging Services Section website Contact MDH or your local public health agency for an inspection to determine license fees and receive final approval if the establishment complies with Minnesota regulations. In addition to state licensing, some establishments are also required to be registered with MDH at the time of licensure or license renewal. The registration must include the name, address, and telephone number of the establishment, the name of the operator, the types of services that are being provided, a description of the residents being served, the type and qualifications of staff in the facility, and other information that is necessary to identify the needs of the residents and the types of services that are being provided. The commissioner shall develop and furnish to the board establishment or lodging establishment the necessary form for submitting the registration. 8

9 The role of local governments is similarly unclear in some respects. State law provides that cities may adopt ordinances relating to the public health authorized by law or agreement with the state, and provides that the ordinances must not conflict with or be less restrictive than ordinances adopted by a county board within whose jurisdiction the city is located (Minnesota Statutes 145A.05). State law also authorizes the MDH to enter into a delegation agreement with local health agencies (city, county) to delegate all or part of its duties, including to provide licenses for food, beverage, and lodging establishments. Absent a delegation agreement, it is unclear how far the state regulatory system pre-empts local authority to regulate. MDH has delegated licensing to the following nine cities: FIGURE 2 CITIES WITH MDH DELEGATED LICENSING AUTHORITY Bloomington Brooklyn Park Edina Maplewood Minneapolis Minnetonka Richfield St. Cloud Wayzata The following figure illustrates the MDH delegation authority by county: FIGURE 3 9

10 In Dakota County, MDH has the jurisdiction for regulating, issuing licenses and conducting inspections for food/beverage and lodging establishments. M.S , Subd. 1 requires an annual license be obtained for every person, firm, or corporation engaged in the business of conducting a food and beverage service establishment, youth camp, hotel, motel, lodging establishment, public pool, or resort. 2.1 STATUTORY CITY VS HOME RULE CHARTER CITY A significant variable to consider when comparing Burnsville to other cities for the purposes of licensing and zoning is the type of city government involved. In Minnesota there are two basic types of cities: statutory cities such as Burnsville which operate under the statutory code, and home rule charter cities which operate under a local charter. Home rule charter cities can exercise any powers in their locally adopted charters as long as they don t conflict with state laws. Voters in home rule cities have more control over their city s powers. 1 Charter cities have the ability to tailor their charter to their own needs as residents draft, adopt and can amend their charter. They have the power to make changes without having to wait for the legislature to pass a new law. When state laws are silent on a subject, citizens may address them in their city s charter. The distinction is important because comparing zoning, licensing and other regulatory matters may not necessarily result in apples to apples comparisons. The following figure identifies the market cities that Burnsville uses for comparative purposes and indicates charter versus statutory city status: FIGURE 4 MARKET CITIES FORM OF GOVERNMENT City Government Type City Government Type Apple Valley Statutory Edina Statutory Brooklyn Park Charter Lakeville Statutory Burnsville Statutory Minnetonka Charter Coon Rapids Charter Plymouth Charter Eagan Statutory St. Louis Park Charter 2.2 MINNESOTA STATE REGULATORY ISSUES A primary regulatory issue is that the State of Minnesota does not have a specific definition for vacation home rental property, but many of the legal and regulatory issues related to shortterm vacation home rental are covered in state and local statutes and regulations that apply to hotels, motels and to lodging establishments. MDH and delegated local public health agencies have jurisdiction to license and inspect vacation home rentals. However, the reality is that 1 Minnesota League of Cities Handbook, Chapter 4, The Home Rule Charter City 10

11 because of the popularity and ever increasing number of short-term rentals many operate without licenses or inspection by MDH or its delegated jurisdictions. There is no single comprehensive legislation that addresses short-term rentals in Minnesota but rather, the regulations that do exist are scattered throughout state statutes and rules. With regard to the current state of legislation the following issues exist: 1. Hotel, motel and lodging establishments are comprehensively licensed and regulated by the state, and Burnsville does not have a delegation agreement with the state, and has uncertain authority to adopt and enforce our own regulations. 2. There is a gap in state regulations for rental properties with fewer than five beds that rent for more than a week at a time, but it is unclear to what extent that allows cities to fill the void, since pre-emption that occupies the field comprehensively often is ruled to evidence an intention to not have any regulations of those activities not subject to the state regulation. 3. Various state officials, however, seem to realize they have neither the willingness or capability to effectively regulate these short-term rentals and allow and perhaps even encourage local regulations, even if those local regulations are in excess of clear statutory authority. 4. The regulated community may not readily assert pre-emption/lack of authority issues in any collective manner since they may fear the alternative prohibition of short-term rentals. 5. An individual property owner, cited by the city for violating city regulations, will likely assert the authority question in any judicial proceeding (similar to challenges to other city regulatory or enforcement actions). 6. For these reasons, Burnsville has previously chosen to use business regulation authority to prohibit rentals in residential areas, similar to several other cities, but while the clean prohibition rule is on firmer ground from a statutory authority perspective, it may lead to enforcement difficulties, since non-compliance can be expected to increase for the foreseeable future. 2.3 MINNESOTA STATE INSPECTION ISSUES Minnesota Statutes address the inspection, frequency, risk categories and orders associated with the state s food, beverage and lodging establishments. The statutes identify that it is the duty of the Commissioner to inspect, or cause to be inspected, every pool, food and beverage service establishment, hotel, motel, lodging establishment, or resort. For the purposes of conducting inspections, the commissioner has the right to enter and have access thereto at any time during the conduct of business. 11

12 Within the statutes, inspection frequency is based on the degree of health risk: high, medium and low-risk. Depending upon the risk category, inspections need to be conducted at least once every 12, 18 or 24 months. The issue for local jurisdictions that do not have MDH delegation, is that short-term rentals are generally in the low-risk establishment. With short-term rentals becoming popular, the state is not equipped to search for these establishments let alone conduct inspections. The result is that a majority of the short-term rental properties are not being inspected. For communities having a MDH delegation, they may request the state to supplement the inspection and order process with alternative compliance methods. This is not an option available to communities such as Burnsville, which does not have a MDH delegation. 2.4 BUILDING CODE The Minnesota State Building Code does not require inspections of short-term rentals, vacation homes or similar unless an appropriate building permit is applied for. Further, it would not require that all permitted work, including alterations, be performed by a license contractor, but in some instances, may be performed by the home owner. Therefore there is no guarantee that the structure or premises be compliant with the Minnesota State Building Code. An inspection of the premises is not required prior to licensure or registration by either the State or local unit of government at this time for compliance with the building code. 2.5 FIRE CODE The Fire Code does not specifically address residential short-term rental properties. The buildings where short-term rentals are typically located are single family homes and there are no other Fire Code requirements for this commercial venture than would be applicable to a standard residential home. An inspection of the premises is not required at this time for compliance with the Fire Code. 2.6 FEDERAL LAW - AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Short-term rentals may be subject to Federal Law including the Americans with Disabilities Act and those who offer their homes/properties to the public for use, are responsible for complying with all laws. The Explore Minnesota website includes the following information: As our society ages and there is an increasing need for access by our senior community and others with disabilities, portions of the Americans with Disabilities Act were developed or updated to address this issue. Many of the new sections directly affect places of lodging. New language has been developed on reservation requirements, pool lift requirements, other Power-Driven Mobility Devices and revised language regarding service animals. Additional information is available through the Minnesota State Council on Disability at or margot.imdieke@state.mn.us. 12

15 III. Local Regulatory Trends 3.0 MINNESOTA CITIES SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS The City of St. Paul is currently in the process of reviewing options for short-term rentals and has undertaken an in-depth study process. To date, the City of St. Paul has not formally acted to establish regulations or license program. Much of the national research has been based on the Short-Term Rental Study conducted in 2016 by the City of New Orleans. St. Paul also researched Minnesota communities and identified how short-term rentals are treated in terms of ordinance standards, type of permitting, fire and safety, length of say, number of guests allowed, parking requirements, and penalties. For this White Paper, city staff used the St. Paul and New Orleans studies for background information and added current standards from the market cities Burnsville uses to review land use and other matters. Chart 1, MN Cities Short-Term Rental Regulations provides the summary of the same factors researched by the City of St. Paul however more cities are included in the chart for this White Paper. Chart 1 is color coded for ease of use. The pink rows identify the cities where shore-term rentals are prohibited. The yellow rows identify the cities that permit short-term rentals and additional information about the permitting, how they are regulated, and requirements in the respective ordinances. The rows highlighted in green reflect the communities researched where short-term rentals are not regulated. Both the City of St. Paul and City of Minneapolis are in the process of researching short-term rentals and are listed on the chart but there is no color because their studies are currently ongoing. Cities that Prohibit Short-term Rentals: Similar to Burnsville, four of our market cities, Apple Valley, Brooklyn Park, Edina, and St. Louis Park prohibit short-term rentals. Three market cities do not have ordinances regulating short-term rentals including Coon Rapids, Lakeville and Plymouth. Short-term rentals are permitted in Eagan and Minnetonka by ordinance. The City of Savage is not a market city but since 2015, homes in residential zones are banned from renting homes for any period shorter that fifteen days. The City enacted this ban due to resident complaints along with considering rentals of 15 days or less a commercial venture in residential areas. Cities Where Short-Term Rentals Not Regulated: Although the City of Lakeville does not have an ordinance for short-term rentals, as part of their overall rental housing program, an owner occupied dwelling may rent rooms within the dwelling to not more than two individuals who are each unrelated to the principal family provided the property owner shall not enter into a rental agreement with more than two individuals within a thirty day period. In Plymouth, (a Home Rule Charter City), there is not a short-term rental ordinance. The City s overall residential rental program requires residential rental properties to be inspected and licensed by the City. Plymouth does allow boarding or renting of rooms to not more than two people per dwelling as a permitted accessory use in most of its residential zones. Cities that Permit Short-Term Rentals: The Cities of Eagan and Minnetonka are market cities that permit short-term rentals. Minnetonka is a Home Rule Charter City and allows living facilities for no more than two boarders or roomers within a single family dwelling unit as a permitted accessory use provided adequate off-street parking is available. Minnetonka distinguishes between allowing two borders/roomers within a single family dwelling unit from Accessory Apartment. In the Minnetonka, an accessory apartment is a smaller 15

16 secondary dwelling unit which includes provisions for sleeping, cooking, and sanitation independent of the principal dwelling unit. Accessory Apartments are listed as a Conditional Use. In Eagan, a homeowner can rent out a room within their home for less than thirty days as long as the homeowner is present and the guest has full access to the home during their stay. Eagan also allows accessory dwelling units provided they are registered with the City. A registered accessory dwelling unit can be rented for thirty days or more. The size of accessory dwelling units are limited and cannot be larger than one third the size of the primary residence. Other Cities that permit short-term rentals are: Chaska, Duluth, Prior Lake, Rochester and Stillwater. The City of Chaska allows the rental of up to two rooms in a home as a permitted accessory use, similar to Minnetonka, Plymouth and Lakeville. Prior Lake (Statutory City), adopted an ordinance in 2015 and allows short-term rentals with an administrative short term rental permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. Permit fees are determined annually by the City Council and the annual permits all expire on December 31 st. Prior Lake requires an inspection of the short-term rental unit, the permit is not transferrable, the units are subject to all of the same performance standards as other uses and off-street parking needs to be provided equal to the number of bedrooms contained in the dwelling unit. The number of occupants allowed is based on a sliding scale hat is related to the size of the lot and size of the unit. For lots ½ acre or more, up to 12 guests are allowed. For lots less than ½ acre, a maximum of 8 guests are allowed. Children under the age of three are not included in the total number of guests. The ordinance contains penalties based on a three strikes system that may lead to permit suspension or revocation. The City of Duluth (Home Rule Charter City), allows vacation rentals with an Interim Use Permit and also allows a homeowner to rent out part of their home (with the owner present), with a home share permit. Inspections are required and the length of stay may be from two to 29 days. The parking requirements and number of guests allowed depends upon the number of bedrooms. The City of Rochester (Home Rule Charter City), does not regulate short-term rentals but has specific regulations that allow for medical stay dwelling units for patients and their families. This is a type of lodging enabled by 2015 legislation that allows for temporary family health care dwellings. These units are required to have a license, pass an inspection and be properly zoned. The City of Stillwater (Home Rule Charter City), updated their ordinance this year (2017), and permits short-term rentals in all residential zones and in their Central Business District zone. For short-term rentals that are un-hosted (without an owner present), a Conditional Use Permit is required in addition to a license. If an owner is present, short-term rentals are allowed with a Special Use Permit and license. The licenses are valid for three years or upon change of property ownership. Stays for less than thirty days are allowed with a license. City inspections are required to ensure the rental meets Stillwater s residential code. The number of guests is limited to two times the number of bedrooms plus one and all guest parking must be on-site on an improved surface. The number of required parking stalls is based on the number of bedrooms. In addition to state sales tax, licensee is required to pay a city lodging tax. The City limits the number of short-term rental licenses that can operate at any one time. There are penalties under which the license can be revoked (three substantial and relevant complaints received from neighbors or guests within a 12-month period). Stillwater also has fines ranging from $ to $ based on the 1 st, second and third violation. There is a standard appeal procedure to the City Council and violations may also be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. 16

17 IV. National Regulatory Trends 4.0 CITY OF NEW ORLEANS SHORT-TERM RENTAL STUDY In 2016, the City of New Orleans completed a thorough study on short-term rentals. This study has been used extensively by local governments including the City of St. Paul as the basis for drafting local regulations. The study included an assessment of ordinances adopted by 14 cities nationwide. The study found that cities adopt regulations differently depending on the issue they are trying to address. Chart 2, National Cities Short-Term Rental Regulations summarizes the regulations from a number of different Cities. The New Orleans study found most ordinances contain regulations for the following categories: Definitions Majority of cities use the term short-term rental and state that the use was for temporary or transient occupancy, within a residential dwelling unit, and that the temporary stay lasts for no longer than 30 days. Categories Most ordinances break short-term rentals into three categories: full dwelling unit rental, single-room rental, and a shared room rental. Cities also often make distinction based on owner occupancy. Owner occupied generally tend to be less impactful than non-owner occupied units. Size Limitations Most ordinances either regulate by number of rooms or number of guests. Concentration Cities may want to limit the amount of commercial activity in a residential area. As such, some of the cities surveyed imposed limits on the number of short-term rentals by a defined geography, census tract, by lot, or by building. Time Limitations Almost all cities surveyed define a specific number of consecutive days a dwelling unit may be rented before it is considered a long-term rental. For most cities, anything rented for 30 days or less is considered a short-term rental. Some cities place a limit on the number of days a unit may be rented throughout the year, which may vary depending on whether an owner is present or not. For example, San Francisco allows a unit to be rented up to 90 days without an owner present and an unlimited number of days with an owner present. Owner Occupancy Cities have different requirements for owner occupied units compared to non-owner occupied units. Cities may also place a limit on the number of days the unit may be rented without an owner present. Use Standards and Design Guidelines Most cities incorporate use standards and design guidelines to protect the residential character of neighborhoods. Cities placed restrictions on changes to the structure including the addition of separate entrances to the unit and signage. Requirements may also address parking, agent contact information, notification to the occupants of city ordinances, requirements to post emergency exit or other information at the site. 17

18 Fees Permit fees based on sufficient amount to cover the costs associated with permit review and inspections. Notice Some communities require notification to adjacent properties, or all properties within a certain distance, that a property will be used as a short-term rental. Taxes Almost all of the cities surveyed required that taxes be paid including the local community s hotel tax and various state or other local taxes. Taxes may be collected and paid by the platform (such as Airbnb), used to advertise the short-term rental or by the host of the unit. Fines and Enforcement Fines for short-term rental violations varied greatly across the cities surveyed. Many used the ability to revoke the short-term rental license or permit as an effective enforcement tool. Building Code and Inspection Most cities require some form of minimum life safety requirements for structures hosting guests and vary depending on the type of structure. V. Issues 5.0 IMPACT ON PROPERTY (HOME/LOT BEING RENTED) A big reason why short-term rentals are increasing in popularity is that they tend to be a beneficial use for the individual or host offering the space for rent. Owners of short-term rentals are often able to generate substantial income from a short-term rental and often experience very few issues. There is, however, the potential for problems to arise. Owners of units may experience property damage or have guests that engage in disorderly conduct. There is also the potential for guests to experience life/safety issues during their stay and many short-term rental owners do not have the proper insurance to protect themselves from these types of situations. Overall, most short-term rentals are operated with very few issues according to the New Orleans study. An issue that many owners and guests may not be familiar with is related to short-term rentals that have private septic systems and wells. The Explore Minnesota website includes the following information : Septic systems at vacation rental homes need to be properly managed and maintained. Here are some important considerations for the vacation rental home owner: Do not advertise vacation rental homes to accommodate more people than there are bedrooms; septic systems are sized to handle wastewater for about two people per bedroom. 18

19 Remember that many "city people" are unfamiliar with septic systems and may flush things they shouldn't and use more water than they need to. You should educate your guests to help avoid problems. Be mindful of the amount of water used in a short period of time. Too much water going to your septic tank can result in backups to the house, tank overflows, and possible damage to the drain field. This could potentially be an issue if the owners or housekeeper would come in and wash all the bedding and towels, do all the dishes, and wash the floors etc. in one day. Try to limit the amount of water used in a short period of time by spanning cleaning activities over a period of a few days if water use will be high. MPCA recommends that you discuss the septic system with a licensed septic system maintainer and follow their advice on pumping frequency and other maintenance issues. 5.1 IMPACTS TO NEIGHBORHOODS Short-term rentals have the potential to have a detrimental impact on neighborhood enjoyment and quality of life. In some cases, short-term rentals result in an increase in late night activity, noise, crime, litter, property damage, fire danger, loitering, and reduced on-street parking. Shortterm rentals are transient by nature so guests do not have a long-term interest in the neighborhood. This results in fewer long-term residents and can change the dynamics of a neighborhood, especially those that have a high number of short-term rentals. Many jurisdictions base licensing and/or permitting upon input from the public and require notification of the short-term rental use. Some will not issue a license or permit if there is opposition from the public. A number of the jurisdictions that license short-term rentals include provisions to revoke or penalize the host/owner based on complaints received from the public. The issue with this is that the local regulatory agency needs to base decisions on standards that are not arbitrary or capricious. Like uses should be permitted to operate under similar standards and it is difficult to differentiate what are legitimate versus malicious complaints. Basing decisions to grant or approve a permit or license should likewise not be based solely on what a neighbor believes is an acceptable use. Short-term rentals can reduce the number of affordable housing units in an area because an owner will likely be able to generate more revenue by using the unit as a short-term rental than offering it as a long-term affordable residential unit. This tends to be more prevalent in areas that are popular tourist destinations. However, negative impacts on neighborhood quality of life and the reduction in affordable housing may be overstated and not as frequent compared to popular belief. 5.2 DIFFICULT TO REGULATE Short-term vacation rentals are difficult to regulate for several reasons. Owners of short-term rentals generally do not come forward to obtain the proper permits or licenses. To find short-term 19

20 rentals in the community, city staff often have to rely on complaints and online postings. Many sites that allow owners of short-term rentals to post their home for rent do not include an address for the rental property, making it difficult for city staff to locate short-term rentals. There are also many different websites where short-term rentals are posted, making it difficult for staff to catch them all. Some owners may attempt to rent their unit more frequently while others only rent occasionally. For many communities, short-term rentals do not fit neatly within existing ordinances, leaving staff unsure of how to address them. In addition, many agencies may not have the staff to address the number of short-term rentals in the community. 5.3 INSURANCE According to the American Planning Association Much of the short-term rental market today is unregulated. Those who rent typically do not have their premises inspected to determine compliance with health, building, housing, and safety codes. Many short-term rental hosts do not have homeowners and liability insurance to cover losses that may result from commercial occupancy. There is a life safety issue here, and in the event of death, injury, or property damage, there may not be insurance coverage or sufficient assets available to cover the liability. 2 Short-term rental of residential property is typically considered to be a commercial venture not traditionally covered by traditional homeowner s or rental insurance. Commercial insurance may be needed. 5.4 UNFAIR BUSINESS ADVANTAGE HOTELS AND MOTELS ARE INSPECTED, LICENSED AND TAXED One complaint from the hospitality industry regarding short-term vacation rentals is that there is not a level playing field in terms of taxes, licenses and standards. For any lodging establishment, State law requires that a hotel/motel license must be obtained as well as a food and beverage license if food and beverage are served. For cities in Dakota County, these licenses are issued by the Minnesota Department of Health. In many cases, short-term vacation rentals are able to fly under the radar and avoid obtaining these licenses as well as avoid paying local and state sales taxes. In some cities that regulate short-term vacation rentals, it is a requirement that the establishment obtain the proper state licenses and local and state sales tax numbers. 5.5 TAX IMPLICATIONS Most short-term rentals operate without a license and thus do not pay a local lodging tax or state sales tax. This creates an unfair competitive advantage for short-term rentals over other legally operating hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts, and also results in lost revenue potential for local and state government. Most of the Minnesota communities surveyed for this White Paper, 2 American Planning Association, Zoning Practice, October 2015, page 3. 20

21 impose a lodging tax of 3% on the gross receipts from the furnishing for consideration of lodging. This tax is not being collected for most short-term vacation rentals. Depending upon the type of short-term rental and the services provided, differing federal, state and local taxes may be required. Within Department of Revenue oversight, vacation home rental is not specifically defined, but is believed to be included under the more general intent of the occasional sales statute. Property tax and individual income tax statutes would also apply. 5.6 GENERAL OPERATING CONCERNS: RECOMMENDATION FOR VACATION HOME RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS The Explore Minnesota website at includes the following general operating concerns: recommendations for vacation home rental property owners Operating a commercial business venture alongside your neighbors' residences can lead to conflict. These conflicts, if not addressed on a voluntary basis, will lead to a need for additional regulation. Vacation home property owners should consider the following: Do not allow overcrowding/ensure guests know maximum occupancy Inform guests how to handle maintenance issues that arise who to contact Provide 24-hour-per-day contact to local manager for guests and neighbors Provide guidance to guests on noise levels Post proper business signage Advise guests on parking capacity/rv parking and driving responsibly in the neighborhood Assure guests know how/where to properly dispose of garbage Post rules for responsible use of recreational equipment Specify whether you allow outside camping, and where on the property this is acceptable Assure guests are aware of property lines/advise guests on trespassing Advise guests on campfires/fireworks and firearms Advise neighbors of manager/owner phone numbers Consider applicable property association bylaws Have a plan for handling malicious complaints 5.7 SHORT-TERM RENTAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED IN BURNSVILLE In the City of Burnsville, staff is aware of approximately eight short-term rentals being operated. It is likely that there are other units being operated that staff is not aware of. City staff has not received any complaints from adjacent neighbors of these facilities; however, about a year ago staff received a complaint from the lessee of a short-term rental regarding the conditions inside the unit. 21

22 5.8 BURNSVILLE VACATION RENTALS In Burnsville, as of August 7, 2017 there were eight units listed for rent: four full homes / apartments and four for rooms only. People are listing for the Super Bowl already. In comparison, the following community listings for short-term rentals based on the St. Paul and New Orleans studies: CITY # LISTINGS St. Paul 250 Philadelphia, PA 8,000 Amsterdam 13,000 Paris 52,000 London 36,000 Santa Clara, CA 432 Malibu, CA 350 South Lake Tahoe, CA 1,000 Jersey City, NJ 1,000 New Orleans 4,000 VI. Best Management Practices Based upon an evaluation of the available information, statutes, rules, local ordinances and data from market cities, Minnesota cities and communities that regulate short-term rentals around the nation, Best Management Practices are: Define Short-Term Rental: 1. Define short-term rentals and distinguish them by their incidental transient occupancy. Length of Stay: 1. Limit to 30 or fewer days. Occupancy: 1. Almost half of the surveyed communities require owner occupancy or a lessee that is authorized to rent the unit by the property owner. The presence of an owner or lessee certainly could alleviate some concerns about impacts these rentals have on surrounding properties (New Orleans Study) Owner occupied short-term rentals for 2 or less people within an existing home tends to be permitted as an accessory use in residential zones with no formal permitting. 22

23 Owner occupied short-term rentals tend to be permitted with administrative permits, licenses and/or registration. The number of occupants/guests is varied. Non-owner occupied short-term rentals tend to be allowed through special permits such as Interim Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit requiring public notification and formal review process by the City. The number of occupants/guests is varied. Use Standards and Design Guidelines: 1. The majority of communities surveyed incorporated a number of use standards and design guidelines in their short-term rental ordinances. Short-term rentals are often a residential dwelling converted to host guests in one or multiple rooms or a full dwelling unit, and are imbedded in residential neighborhoods. Use standards and design guidelines are especially important for these uses to protect neighboring residents and the integrity of these residential neighborhoods. No change to the structure that would detract from its residential nature. No separate entrance for the short-term rentals and primary residence. Prohibition from having exterior signage that advertises the rental unit. On-site parking requirements. Agent contact information. Prohibitions on recreational vehicle parking. Agent must be readily available to respond to complaints should problems arise on site (e. operator must be within 25 miles of the short term rental or within 2 hours of short term rental or operator be available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Requirement to notify guests of city ordinances regarding trash, noise and water. Establish minimum age for the primary renter. Limit times occupants can have guests over. Prohibition of alcoholic beverages. Limiting the time guest (other than the renters) can be at the site. Establish maximum occupancy. Rentals required to be posted with emergency information including exits, fire extinguishers, water shut-off, electrical box, gas shut off etc. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors required. Penalties: 1. Range from standard misdemeanor provisions to three strikes with specified fines 2. Revocation of permit/license if complaints are filed; citations issued for code violations 3. If permit/license is revoked may not be eligible for new permit/license for six months to a year 4. If found guilty of a crime, misdemeanor, or any violations related to alcohol, drugs, crimes against another person, site may not be eligible for short-term rental permit/license 5. The most important components of a successful short term rental ordinance are fines and enforcement. Fines must be high enough to deter violations and noncompliance. 23

24 6. Fees associated with permits or licenses should not be cost prohibitive and should effectively incentivize individuals to seek compliance. Concentration: 1. Typically the concentration and/or number of short-term rental units per building and within the community is controlled. Ranges from a percentage of the building to limitations to the number of short-term rentals city wide, by zoning district or other geographic boundary. Number of Guests: 1. Ranges from: 1 family plus 1 roomer; 2 per home; number of guests per bedrooms; number of guests based on property acreage; 6 nighttime and 40 daytime guests; up to 5 unrelated individuals, Notice: 1. Typically some form of notification for surrounding properties is required to alert them of the short-term rental use. Ranges from posting a sign at the site with the short-term permit information to notifications to various radius of the short-term rental site. Life/Safety Requirements: 1. Life safety requirements are one of the most common components of short term rental ordinances around the country, which range from requiring fire and carbon monoxide detectors to regular inspections by building and fire officials. VII. Options 1. Do nothing. 2. Change the ordinance to allow short-term rentals. 3. Establish a permitting process for short-term rentals. (Prior Lake, Lakeville, Duluth) 4. Establish a license and/or registration process for short-term rentals. (Stillwater) 5. Other.
