RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission:
a. Conduct a public hearing to obtain public input on preliminary draft regulations of short-term rentals for overnight accommodations in residential areas in the unincorporated area of Monterey County except the Big Sur Coast Land Use Planning Area; and
b. Provide direction to staff.
SUMMARY
At the May 10, 2017 Planning Commission hearing on Short-Term Rentals, the Planning Commission was asked to:
1. Consider separating the process for developing inland and coastal
Short-Term Rental ordinances;
2. Conduct a public hearing to obtain input on preliminary draft
regulations of Short-Term Rentals for overnight accommodations in residential areas in the
unincorporated area of Monterey County; and
3. Provide direction to staff relative to the draft regulations and process.
The Commission took two actions at the hearing. First, the Commission voted that the issues of Short Term Rental in the Big Sur Land Use Planning Area be addressed with the Big Sur Coast Land Use Plan update as soon as possible, after reasonable access has been restored. The result of this action is that staff will continue to develop the short-term rental regulations for all of unincorporated Monterey County with the exception of the Big Sur Coast Land Use Planning Area, at this time. Second, the Commission voted that the hearing on the project be continued to the May 31, 2017 Planning Commission.
Staff is returning to the Planning Commission so the Commission may continue the hearing and provide direction to staff relative to the draft regulations for unincorporated Monterey County except Big Sur.
DISCUSSION
Detailed discussion is provided in the May 10, 2017 Short-Term Rental staff report.
