DEPT. CA CITY MGR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

state park and private campsites your action is to introduce

ITEM EXPLANATION
The City Council at your meeting of March 6, 1984 directed the
City Attorney to prepare an ordinance imposing the City's
transient occupancy tax at state park and private campsites in
the City of Carlsbad. An ordinance in that regard is attached.
Chapter 3.12 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code imposes the City's 6%
transient occupancy tax on the "occupancy" of all "hotels" to be
collected by the "operator". Section 3.12.020 defines to terthe
occupancy, hotel and operator. Ord No.
would definitions of that section as follows:
1. State parks and private campgrounds would be included in
a definition of hotel.
2. The use of campsites in such campgrounds for recreational
vehicles or tents would be included in the definition of
occupancy.
3. A state would be included in the definition of operator.
These changes in the definitions would make the tax imposed by in
chapter 3.12 applicable to state park and private campgrounds
the City of Carlsbad.

both had three tents pitched in area.

followed in above patterns.
I.
It is my observation, based on over 30 years of camping, that the occupants of ;
these site are average taxpapers who cannot afford hotels and motel. They elect,
to have family vacations at state park, beach and mountain, and National parks.
