The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations for the temporary use of privately owned single-family residential dwellings that are used as short-term vacation rentals and to ensure the collection and payment of transient occupancy taxes as provided in Chapter 3.24
of the Town Code and minimize the negative secondary effects of such use on surrounding residential properties and residents. The permitting process, standards, and regulations contained herein are intended and designed to ensure the public health, welfare and safety, and tranquility, peace, quiet, preservation of the dark night sky, and low-density desert characteristics of Yucca Valley neighborhoods are not altered, affected, or minimized in any manner or form by the operation of Temporary Short-Term Vacation Rentals.
This chapter is not intended to provide any owner of residential property with the right or privilege to violate any private conditions, covenants, and restrictions applicable to the owner’s property that may prohibit the use of such owner’s residential property for short-term vacation rental purposes as defined in this Chapter.
