ORDINANCE NO. ORD23-007

AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE MONO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING NEW SHORT-TERM AND TRANSIENT RENTALS OF DUPLEX & MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS IN ALL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS WHEREAS,

Government Code §65858 authorizes the adoption of an interim ordinance as an urgency measure to prohibit any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the Board of Supervisors, planning commission or planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, when necessary to protect the public safety, health, and welfare; and

the lack of affordable housing for workforce and full-time residents in Mono County is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare, and may be exacerbated by the loss of residential units to nightly rental uses; and

the Board has identified a need to preserve long-term residential housing stock by limiting nightly rentals; and

the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing to receive public testimony on the matter on October 10, 2023; and

in order to preserve residential housing for potential long-term use while staff and decision makers study the impact of nightly rentals on residential and workforce housing and develop a comprehensive housing strategy for the unincorporated county, including any adjustments to the regulation of nightly rentals, the Board of Supervisors desires to temporarily suspend processing new applications for short-term or transient rentals in duplex & multi-family dwelling units in all land use designations; and

WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF MONO FINDS AND ORDAINS

SECTION ONE:

that:

There is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare as a result of the continuing conversion of duplex & multi-family dwelling units within unincorporated Mono County into short-term or transient rentals (i.e., less than 30 days). Such conversion and use negatively impacts the amount of available long-term housing for residents. Therefore, County processing and/or approval of short-term or transient rental applications for duplex & multi-family dwelling units should be temporarily suspended in order to preserve existing housing stock and protect the public safety, health, and welfare of the residents of Mono County while the County analyzes possible revisions to its regulations regarding such uses.

No applications for short-term or transient rentals of duplex & multifamily dwelling units under Chapters 25 and 26 of the Mono County General Plan shall be accepted for processing as of the effective date of this Ordinance, except as set forth in Section Three. Any application received prior to the effective date shall be processed in accordance with County standards in effect at the time of submission. This action is taken to allow for the proper study by staff and decision makers of the impacts of short-term and transient rentals and potential options for modifying the County!s existing regulations, while preserving existing longterm housing stock by preventing duplex & multi-family dwelling units from receiving approvals to operate as short-term or transient rentals.

SECTION TWO: SECTION THREE: SECTION FOUR: SECTION FIVE:

ATTEST:

Clerk of the Board

The following shall be exempt from the moratorium established by this Resolution:

1) The moratorium shall not apply to properties within the Commercial Lodging-medium (CL-M) and Commercial Lodging-high (CL-H) land use designations, because the intent of these designations is to provide for nightly rental uses. Applications received for approval of short-term rental uses on properties designated as CL-M or CL-H shall be processed in accordance with existing regulations; 2) In the case of new construction, one newly constructed nightly rental unit may be permitted for every three newly constructed long-term only rental units, provided that the certificates of occupancy for the long-term rental units are issued prior to the approval of the business license for the short-term rental.

3) In duplex units, one unit may be rented on a nightly basis subject to existing regulations and standards, provided the other unit is occupied by the owner and such occupancy is verified to the satisfaction of the County.

During the moratorium, staff shall analyze the impacts of short-term and transient rentals on long-term housing availability within Mono County and evaluate possible modification to Chapter 25 and Chapter 26 of the Mono County General Plan or other applicable regulations.

This ordinance shall become effective upon adoption as an urgency measure pursuant to Government Code sections 65858 and 25123 and shall remain in effect, unless extended as allowed by law, for 45 calendar days. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors shall post this ordinance and also publish it or a summary thereof in the manner prescribed by Government Code section 25124 no later than 15 days after the date of its adoption.

and this 10th day of October 2023, by the following vote, to wit: Supervisors Duggan, Gardner, and Kreitz.

Supervisors Peters and Salcido.
