^ WHEREAS, short term vacation rentals (STVR's) are not explicitly addressed in the city's
7
Municipal Code, and the Zoning Ordinance (C.M.C. Title 21) does not currently list "short term
vacation rental" as a permitted use in any zone; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance is structured such that it only permits those uses that
11 are specifically listed in each zone, as well as uses determined by the City Planner to be
12 substantially similar to specifically permitted uses; and
1 3
WHEREAS, over 400 STVR's are currently known to exist throughout the city.
WHEREAS, city records indicate that at least 15 businesses maintain business licenses for
15
STVRs and contribute transient occupancy taxes (in excess of $233,000 in FY 2012-13) and
16
Carlsbad Tourism & Business Improvement District (CTBID) assessments to the city; and
18 WHEREAS, the city has received formal complaints relating to the operation of STVRs in
1^ Carlsbad requiring code enforcement action; and
20
WHEREAS, staff has completed preliminary research and determined that the
21
inconsistencies in the city's land use, business license, TOT/CTBID, and code enforcement policies
22
related to STVRs have created an untenable situation.
