The purposes of this chapter are as follows:
A. With the exceptions noted in paragraph "B" below, it is the purpose of this chapter to establish that short-term rentals will no longer be allowable uses on any property within Single-Family Residential Zones (as defined in Section 18.04.020 of this code), Multiple-Family Residential Zones (as defined in Section 18.06.020 of this code), or any other zoning district in the city, including all underlying or base zones, overlay zones and adopted specific plans, in which residential uses are a permitted or conditionally permitted use.
B. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide a permit system for the renewal of short-term rental permits for Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals. It is the further purpose of this chapter to provide a permit system for those short-term rentals within the C-G General Commercial Zone that have been authorized pursuant to a conditional use permit approved in accordance with the provisions of this code prior to the adoption of the moratorium on September 15, 2015.
C. For those owners who are eligible and apply for renewal of a short-term rental permit, as described in paragraph "B" of this Section 4.05.020, whose applications for renewal are approved by the city, it is the purpose of this chapter to establish and impose operational requirements and regulations for the use of the aforementioned privately-owned residential dwellings as short-term rentals in order to reduce the burden on city services, minimize the negative secondary effects of such use on residential neighborhoods, and ensure the health, safety and welfare of persons residing in residential neighborhoods and patronizing short-term rentals.
