2023.1) and the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) amended

requirement for agencies seeking federal grants. Santa Rosa CityBus’

2040 target for all 41 vehicles (fixed route and cutaway paratransit

vehicles).

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS

16.1

PUBLIC HEARING - SHORT-TERM RENTALS ORDINANCE

AMENDMENTS

BACKGROUND: The City’s Short-Term Rentals (STR) Ordinance was

adopted by the City Council on October 13, 2021. On August 9, 2022,

the Council adopted minor amendments to the Ordinance limiting the

number of non-hosted STRs within the City and providing code

enforcement regulations. City staff and the public who have utilized,

implemented, or enforced the Ordinance since its adoption have

identified sections that would benefit from technical changes to assist in

implementation and enforcement. The proposed Zoning Code text

amendments include these technical changes, as well as the addition of

new and revised definitions and policies that have been informed by

prior City Council discussion, public engagement, and Planning

Commission direction. New policies include: adding unit type

restrictions, establishing a maximum number of STR Permits allowed

per owner, prohibiting outdoor burning, adding outdoor lighting

standards, trash and recycling facilities restrictions, and water

conservation signage requirements. Revisions are also proposed for

accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and code enforcement policies. On April

27, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider

the proposed STR Ordinance amendments and voted 4-2 (with one

Commissioner absent) to recommend City Council adoption of the

proposed amendments with the addition of a prohibition on outdoor

burning at STRs.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission

and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the

Council introduce an ordinance amending the text of Title 20 of the

Santa Rosa City Code, Chapter 20-48, Short-Term Rentals, to revise

and add new definitions and policies, and to incorporate technical

changes including reorganization and clarifying language to improve

functionality and aid in implementation and enforcement.
