COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW.

[1. PRESENTATION BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO THE CITY OF LA HABRA]

OUR PRESENTATION.

THE FIRST PRESENTATION WILL BE B BY THE AMERICAN CROSS TO THE CITY OF LA BARBARA.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE BECKY COGLEY AREA BOOKING MANAGER FOR LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA REGION OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS SERVICE, UM, AT THE PODIUM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING.

MADAM MAYOR TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO CITY MANAGER, SADRO TO STAFF AND TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE REASON I'M HERE IS REALLY TO RELAY A HEARTFELT THANKS TO YOU, AND TO WISH TO RECOGNIZE THE CITY OF LA HOMBRE FOR THE REMARKABLE PARTNERSHIP YOU'VE DISPLAYED THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

AS A RESULT OF YOUR CITY'S EFFORTS, 25 BLOOD DRIVES HAVE BEEN HOSTED TO DATE COLLECTING 807 PINTS OF BLOOD AND SAVING UP TO 2,421 PRECIOUS LIVES.

THIS GENEROSITY HAS AIDED SO MANY RESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM A MOM IN DISTRESS DURING DELIVERY OF HER NEWBORN BABY TO A TEENAGER, RUSH TO A TRAUMA CENTER FROM A CAR CRASH TO A PATIENT, WAITING FOR TREATMENT TO FIGHT CANCER TO A FIREFIGHTER, SUFFERING FROM BURNS WHILE FIGHTING ONE OF OUR LOCAL WILDFIRES TO A LITTLE NEIGHBOR GIRL WHO HAS SICKLE CELL ANEMIA AND NEEDS BLOOD ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MANAGE HER DISEASE.

SO EVERY BLOOD DRIVE THAT YOU HOST MEANS SOMEBODY GAINS AN EXTRA MOMENT HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, OR LIFETIME.

THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN DONOR AND RECIPIENT IS WHAT UNITES US AS HUMANS AND ITS DIVERSITY KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES.

SO WE'D LIKE TO PRESENT A RECOGNITION, EXCUSE ME, RECOGNITION TO THE CITY AND TO ALSO DIRECTOR OF RECREATION, KELLY FUJIO KELLY.

NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ON THE PHONE.

UH, AND I KNOW THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO HER.

SHE WAS THE PERSON WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN COORDINATING ALL OF THOSE LIFESAVING BLOOD DRIVES.

SO WE WOULD ASK IF THE CITY OF LA HARBOR WILL CONTINUE THIS PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS SO VITAL TO THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR RESIDENTS, AND TO TRY TO HOST AT LEAST QUARTERLY BLOOD DRIVES, IF YOU CAN DO MORE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT JUST A COUPLE OF CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION AND A LITTLE GIFT FOR MS. KELLY, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND DO SO.

YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE? KELLY? MAY I APPROACH? YES.

OH, BE CAREFUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

I MEAN, THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN US AND I'M GLAD THAT KELLY WAS NO, DON'T GO AWAY.

THAT KELLY WAS REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING THIS SUCCESSFUL A BLOOD DRIVE.

SO BEAUTIFUL.

[00:05:04]

A DONATION FROM THE LA HARBOR HOST LIONS CLUB, UH, TO BENEFIT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM FOR THE LA HARBOR SENIOR CITIZENS.

AND SO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT GOOD EVENING.

UH, SHORT-TERM RENTALS HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR IN MANY COMMUNITIES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEAR THROUGH ONLINE HOSTING PLATFORMS, SUCH AS AIRBNB, HOMEAWAY

[00:10:01]

AND FIBRO CURRENTLY.

UM, THESE USES ARE UNREGULATED WITHIN THE CITY OF LA HABRA, THE RE THE STAFF REPORT AND THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE STAFF FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION DUE TO INCREASING COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY STAFF REGARDING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM RENTAL UNITS IN A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN THE CITY, UM, DURING BETWEEN JULY AND OF 2020, AND NOW WE'D RECEIVED, UM, 14, UM, PD RE COMPLAINTS, AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE HAS RECEIVED MANY EMAIL COMPLAINTS.

UM, THE CITY HAS THREE OPTIONS IN TERMS TO REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

UM, OPTION ONE WOULD BE TO PROHIBIT THEM OUTRIGHT.

UM, OPTION TWO WOULD BE TO ALLOW WITH REGULATIONS TO REDUCE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR ALLOW BY, RIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.

STAFF HAS PREPARED A DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR THE COUNCIL CONSIDERATION THAT RE REQUIRE PROPERTY OWNERS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT AND MEET SPECIFIC REGULATIONS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE MEANT TO PROTECT THE ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NATURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE DRAFT WAS PREPARED WITH POLICY AND LEGAL GUIDANCE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND THE REVIEWS AND REVIEW OF SEVERAL SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL ORDINANCES ADOPTED BY OTHER CITIES THROUGH OUT THE REGION, INCLUDING ANAHEIM POINT APART, FULLERTON IN PLACENTIA IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

WE ALSO PROVIDED A LIST OF CITIES THAT HAVE PROHIBITED SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

UM, WE HAVE UP CONTINUE TO UPDATE THAT LIST.

AND AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED, UM, 13 OTHER CITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF LA HABRA HEIGHTS THAT HAVE PROHIBITED SUCH USES WITHIN THEIR CITY, THAT WE TOOK THIS ITEM TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS FROM THE COUNTRY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD AND ATTENDANCE, FIVE OF WHICH SPOKEN OPPOSITION TO ALLOWING SHORT-TERM RENTALS WITHIN THE CITY, BASED ON THEIR NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THEM IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY EXPRESS COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAFETY CONCERNS, NOISE, TRASH, LARGE, LATE NIGHT PARTIES.

IN MANY OTHER OBNOXIOUS USES OF THE COMMISSION DELIBERATED FOR THIS, FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR CHARACTER OF LIVABILITY AND THE VALUE OF SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIALS.

THEY AGREED THAT THERE WAS NO VALUE IN REGULATING A USE, WHICH QUOTE THEY DEEMED UNREGULATED WILL.

AND SINCE THAT CITY DOES NOT HAVE A, A TOT, THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY REVENUE TO OFFSET THE COST OF REGULATING THEM.

THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL VOTED, UM, TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO PROHIBIT SUCH USES SHOULD THE CITY COUNCIL WISH TO FOLLOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION.

WE HAVE PREPARED A DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR YOU, WHICH MODIFIES THE LANGUAGE IN THE ZONING CODES AND IN SECTION 18.04 AND 18.06, UM, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT THEM SHOULD THE COMMISSION WISHED OR EXCUSE ME, SHOULD THE COUNCIL WISH TO CONSIDER ALLOWING SHORT-TERM RENTALS? WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED AN ORDINANCE FOR YOUR REVIEW THAT HAS KEY SECTIONS, UM, TO REGULATE THEM AND HOPE THAT THEY WOULD NEGATE THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

KEY AND KEY PROVISIONS INCLUDE, INCLUDE THAT THE LOCATION OF, UH, OF IN CONDITIONS OF WHERE THEY COULD BE LOCATED THROUGH THE CITY, THE NEED TO COMPLY WITH CITY NOISE STANDARDS, THE REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE NEED FOR ADEQUATE PARKING LIMITS ON THE RENTAL DURATION AND TIME OF USE PROVISIONS FOR THE RELOCATION OF A PERMIT PROVISIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF CITATIONS AND VIOLATIONS AND INSPECTION PROGRAMMING, ANNUAL RENEWAL KEY SIZABLE RESTRICTIONS INCLUDE AMPLIFIED SOUND, WHICH IS DISCERNIBLE FROM NEIGHBORING PROPERTY BETWEEN 10:00 PM AND 8:00 AM EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES FOR A SHORT-TERM RENTAL, WHICH HAS BEEN SET AT TWO PERSONS PER BEDROOM UTILIZATION OF ANY RV OR TENT OR PORTABLE STRUCTURE FOR A DWELLING UNIT, THE UTILIZATION OF THE PROPERTY FOR WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS, COMMERCIAL FUNCTIONS, CONFERENCES, PARTIES, OR OTHER SIMILAR PURPOSES USING GARAGES FOR SLEEPING PURPOSES, USING POOLS AND SPAS BETWEEN THE HOUR OF 10:00 PM AND EIGHT ADM AND EXCEEDING MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE PER BEDROOM.

IF THE COUNCIL, WHICH HAS TO APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE, UM, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TYPOS WE FOUND IN THE ORDINANCE THAT I WOULD READ INTO THE RECORD AS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO GO THAT DIRECTION.

UM, AT THIS POINT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO OFFER AND WOULD, UM, BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UM, I BELIEVE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER GOMEZ HAS THE QUESTION FOR YOU AT ROY.

[00:15:01]

UM, IF WE DECIDE TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE, UH, HOW WOULD WE ENFORCE, UM, FORCE OF THEIR INCOME, PEOPLE ARE IN COMPLIANCE AND HOW DO WE, WE RELY ON THE PUBLIC TO KIND OF, UH, INFORM US WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, OR HOW WOULD WE, IT WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF THOSE THINGS.

OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD, IT WOULD TAKE A CALL FROM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS TO, TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, UM, TO TELL US OF THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM, UM, THE PROVISIONS, AGAIN, WE'VE CREATED A PROCESS WHERE THEY COULD BE CITED FOR EACH VIOLATION.

SO, YOU KNOW, THE, THEY GET CALLED OUT THERE AND THEY'RE VIOLATING SIX DIFFERENT THINGS.

THEY'LL CAN RECEIVE SIX DIFFERENT VIOLATIONS.

UM, WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED LANGUAGE, UM, THAT THEY COULD BE ELEVATED TO MISDEMEANORS IF IT'S AGREGIOUS ENOUGH.

AND THIS WOULD BE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT, WHO THE LEAD AGENCY.

WELL, IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE TIME THAT IT'S BEING REPORTED, OBVIOUSLY IN THE, IN THE EVENING, WE DON'T HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT.

SO IT WOULD BE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WOULD YOU PREFER TO START OFF WITH A WARNING OR WOULD WE, UM, KIND OF GIVE HIM A WARNING AND SAY YOU BETTER BE IN COMPLIANCE AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE, THAT THAT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED, WHATEVER THE COUNCIL WISHES.

COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW.

ROY WAS ANY EFFORT MADE BY THE STAFF TO CONTACT OWNERS OF PROPERTIES, UM, WHO ARE SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROVIDERS? YES, WE REVIEWED THE, THOSE WEBSITES.

I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, AND WE WERE IDENTIFIED A TOTAL OF FIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD PROPERTIES THAT FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY.

AND WE, AND WE NOTICED THEM, THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS MEETING TONIGHT.

THEY WERE SENT A NOTICE OF THIS MEETING TONIGHT.

THEY WERE ALSO SENDING NOTICE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE DEFINING SHORT TERM RENTAL AS 30 DAYS OR FEWER.

SO IF YOU WERE TO RENT YOUR HOME OUT FOR 31 DAYS OR MORE, IT'S NOT A SHORT TERM RENTAL.

THERE WOULD BE NO REGULATION, NO NOTHING HERE.

IT'S JUST LIKE EVERYTHING.

WELL, I'M, I'M VERY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS LETTER WE FOUND ON OUR DIOCESE HERE.

DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO READ THIS FROM EXPEDIA GROUP? I GUESS IT WAS JUST RECEIVED TODAY.

YES, IT WAS RECEIVED TODAY.

UM, WELL THEY'RE OFFERING, IT LOOKS LIKE, UM, AN ABILITY TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY.

IF I'M READING THIS RIGHT TO MONITOR THINGS LIKE, UH, NOISE PROBLEMS OR OTHER IMPACTS.

SO I, I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO WHAT THAT'S NEW INFORMATION.

THAT'S ALL FOR ME NOW.

YEAH.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ROY.

AND I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND I'D ASK THOSE WHO ARE SPEAKING IN SUPPORTIVE IT'S ITEM TWO, PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM AND PROVIDE US WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

AS COUNCIL MEMBERS.

SHAW SAID, WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM EXPEDIA GROUP, UM, EXPRESSING THEIR STRONG CONCERN WITH THE PROPOSED ACTION TO PROHIBIT VACANT VACATION RENTALS IN THE CITY OF LA BARBARA, AND WOULD RATHER SUGGEST INSTEAD OF PROHIBITING SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN LA HARBOR TO CONSIDER ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE DESIGNED TO REDUCE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS, JUST FOR TRANSPARENCY THAT WE RECEIVED THIS LETTER, ALL THE COUNCIL DID RECEIVE THAT LETTER.

SO OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM, UM, SUPPORTING THAT WE CONTINUE WITH AN ORDINANCE.

NOW THOSE IN OPPOSITION, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM AND PROVIDE US WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, IF YOU'D WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THIS ORDINANCE OR THIS ITEM RATHER.

ALL RIGHT.

MICKEY POSITION MEANS NO LENTIL.

GOOD EVENING ON OUR MAYOR HAS BEEN NOSA.

COULD YOU PUT THE MIC A LITTLE BIT CLOSER? OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

LET'S DO IT.

TURN THE MIC A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS YOU.

THERE YOU GO.

AND CONCERNS FOR EACH OTHER.

MA'AM YOU HAVE TO GIVE MY NAME, MESHED IT GO.

TOS, G R O T H U E S 9 21 T QUOTE, OUR FAMILY OF SEVEN.

AND IN THAT IN US, WE ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL OWNERS ON THIS.

CUL-DE-SAC IN THE HUBBA ALMOST 50 YEARS.

OUR CHILDREN, WE HAVE FIVE OF THEM PLAYED WITH ALL THE OTHER KIDS ON THE STREET.

NEVER HAVING ANY CONCERN, EXCEPT MAYBE SOME BRUISES FROM FALLS OR SKIPS.

EVERYONE KNEW EACH OTHER AND SHARED CHOICE

[00:20:01]

AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE OF OUR HOME, WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS AREA WAS, WAS SELECTED TO ONE FAMILY HOMES TO OUR DISMAY.

AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, THE CORNER OF ENTERED HOME HAS DISTURBED OUR PEACE AND SECURITY.

WHEN OUR GRANDCHILDREN COME OVER, WE HAVE TO LOOK OVER THEM LIKE HAWKS, NEVER KNOWING WHO MOVED IN THIS WEEK.

IT HAS BECOME A NOISY NEIGHBORHOOD, MOSTLY ADULT NOISES, LOUD MUSIC, YELLING, SCREAMING, PEOPLE PARKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET.

STRANGERS.

SOME OF THEM SCANTLY WITH ALCOHOLIC CONTAINERS, TOSSED AROUND OVERFLOWING TRASH CANS, NOISES SWITCHING US TO THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC.

AND I UNDERSTAND, I DO UNDERSTAND VACATIONERS WANT TO HAVE FUN AND WANT TO LIVE IT UP, BUT NOT IN OUR BACKYARD.

MY HUSBAND CARR HAD BE THE CO FOUNDER AND THEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION HERE IN OUR AREA.

IT IS A VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION WITH VOLUNTARY FEES.

EVERYBODY VOLUNTEERING TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN OF DEBRIEFS AND CLEAR OF INTUITORS AT OUR ANNUAL MEETINGS IN JANUARY, THE CITY MANAGER, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE EXPRESSED THE ADMINISTRATION AT ADMIRATION FOR EVERYONE'S WORKING TOGETHER TO LIVE IN A CARING AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND WE WANT TO HAVE IT BACK.

MY HUSBAND AND I URGE YOU TO AGAIN, GIVE PROPER ZONING TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, NO RENTAL HOMES TO ENDANGER OUR PEACE, PROPERTY AND SAFETY.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO OUR CONCERN AND WHEN TO LEAVE A COPY OF MY LETTER HERE, YOU MIGHT'VE LANDED HERE.

THANK YOU, MICKEY.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM PROVIDERS WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

HONORABLE MAYOR, MAYOR ESPINOSA, AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'M NEIL SHAW.

AND I'M A RESIDENT OF 8 41 TEAKWOOD AVENUE WHERE A SHORT-TERM WHERE THE SHORT-TERM RESIDENTS, RESIDENTS RENTAL IS LOCATED.

I'M GOING TO REFER TO THIS, UH, RENTAL AS STTR I'M HERE TO URGE THE COUNCIL TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING STTR.

AS IN THE CITY, THE SDR ON OUR STREET IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF NOISE DISTURBANCE.

UNLIKE THE CITIES OF LOS ANGELES, ANAHEIM AND BLIND, A PARK THAT HAD WORLD FAMOUS ATTRACTIONS REQUIRING A NEED FOR SUCH AS TTRS LAHABRA DOES NOT HAVE ATTRACTIONS REQUIRING AN OVERNIGHT STAY, ALLOWING SUCH RESIDENTIAL RENTALS TO CONTINUE WILL COST THE CITY SIGNIFICANTLY IN TERMS OF THE COST OF SENDING POLICE OVER TO CONTROL UNRULY AND NOISY GUESTS IN OUR OTHERWISE PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.

EVEN IF THE COUNCIL ADOPTED HER RESOLUTION, ALLOWING A CTRS, SUCH AN ORDINANCE.

SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE AND COSTLY AS OUR, UH, MANAGER OUT HERE JUST MENTIONED, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CALL POLICE TO ENFORCE GOOD BEHAVIOR ON THE PART OF THE GUESTS.

AS A RESULT OF NON-RESPONSIVE PROPERTY MANAGERS ARE SAID, CITY DOES NOT NEED TO PROVIDE VISITORS TO ANAHEIM AND LOS ANGELES ATTRACTIONS A PLACE TO LIVE.

THEREFORE, I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING STTR IS IN LAHABRA.

IS THERE ANYONE WISHING, HAVE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM? GOOD EVENING.

AND I WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND SAY THANK YOU TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MAY YOUR ESPINOSA FOR LISTENING.

UM, WHAT IS YOUR NAME? MY NAME IS ELIZABETH CUEVAS.

UM, I AM THE PERSON WHO LIVES RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE 800 TEAKWOOD AVENUE.

I HEAR IT ALL.

I SEE IT ALL.

I SMELLED

[00:25:01]

IT ALL.

UM, I, UM, PROPERTY OWNER AT EIGHT, 10 TEAKWOOD AVENUE, UM, I MOVED TO LA HARBOROUGH FOR OVER TWO YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT NEXT DOOR TO ME WAS USED AS AN HOTEL SLASH AIRBNB FOR VACATIONERS.

I WAS UNAWARE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS THIS PROPERTY HAS CAUSED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AND IT'S STILL COSTING.

UM, I MOVED TO LA BARBARA FINDING PEACE.

UM, AND HONESTLY I HAVEN'T FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

UM, IF I WOULD'VE KNOWN THAT NEXT DOOR WAS USED AS A HOTEL SLASH AIRBNB, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT MY HOME.

I WISH ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WOULD HAVE, HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUES.

AND HONESTLY, I WOULD HAVE LOOKED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

UM, LAST YEAR THERE WERE MANY PROBLEMS. THERE WERE MULTIPLE PARTIES DURING THE PANDEMIC.

LOTS OF PHONE CALLS WERE MADE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, EMAILS, BACK AND FORTH.

UM, I SENT VIDEOS, PICTURES OF HOW, YOU KNOW, LOUD THESE RENTERS, UM, START TO GET TO THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

UM, AS EARLY, AS IN THE MORNING, AS LATE AS ONE, TWO, EVEN FOUR IN THE MORNING AM, UM, THE, THE USE OF, OF DRUGS, UM, STREET RACING, TRASH AND NOISE HAS BEEN A BIG CONCERN.

UM, I AM A MOTHER OF TWO AND I WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS' SAFETY, MY OWN SAFETY, MY HUSBAND'S SAFETY.

UM, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO STAY BY MYSELF AND I DO GET WORRIED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO'S COMING OR RENTING THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR.

UM, THERE'S ALWAYS, UM, LARGER GROUPS OF PEOPLE.

AND LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE THEIR INTENTIONS.

UM, AND JUST TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, ALL THE NOISE THAT THEY MAKE AND EVERYTHING, IT'S JUST A BIG CONCERN.

UM, THESE PEOPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVE THEIR MUSIC LOUD, THEY START YELLING.

UM, I HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE THAT, YOU KNOW, AT ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY, AND TO ME, IT'S BEEN A FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN REST AT MY OWN HOUSE.

I HAVE TO BE CONSTANTLY CALLING OR SENDING, YOU KNOW, MR. EMAILS AND I'VE INCLUDED OTHER, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS AS WELL.

AND IT'S BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING.

UM, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE NOISE.

UM, AND I DO, MY NEIGHBORS ARE AWARE OF THAT.

I JUST TELL THEM, YOU KNOW WHAT, I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

I HAVE TO LEAVE AND GET MY KIDS AND I HAVE TO LEAVE.

AND I THINK I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT.

THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT MY HOME.

RIGHT.

SO THAT I CAN REST AND, AND HAVE PEACE THERE.

AND I HAVE SO LEAVE, SLEEP THE NIGHT OVER AT MY MOM'S AND IT IT'S JUST BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME.

UM, ASIDE FROM DEALING WITH ALL THE ISSUES NEXT DOOR, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO PREPARE MYSELF TO WORK.

I'M AN EDUCATOR I HAVE TO REST.

I HAVE TO MAKE SURE MY STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING, YOU KNOW, THE EDUCATION THAT THEY NEED, BUT WITH ALL THIS GOING ON, THE NEIGHBOR ISSUE, THE NOISE LEVELS, UM, IT'S JUST BEEN OVERWHELMING ALREADY.

UM, SO I, I DO ASK PLEASE CONSIDER OF, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS AS A NEIGHBOR.

I, LIKE I SAID, I, I SMELLED THE USE OF DRUGS.

I HAVE TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS.

I HAVE TO RUN THE AC.

I HAVE TO LET MY CHILDREN, I HAVE TO KEEP THEM INSIDE THEIR HOME WHEN IT'S UNFAIR BECAUSE THEY'RE CHILDREN AND THEY SHOULD BE OUTSIDE, RUNNING AROUND, PLAYING AROUND.

THEY HAVE A SWIMMING POOL, WHICH THEY CAN ENJOY BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS ARE, YOU KNOW, UM, SMOKING.

AND, AND SO IT'S JUST VERY UNFAIR, VERY UNFAIR.

HE HAS BEEN THROUGHOUT THIS MORE THAN TWO YEARS ALREADY.

SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING.

LIKE I, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, AND I PLEASE HOPE THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ALL OF MY FRUSTRATION, MY WORRIES, NEZ, AND, AND WHAT I WANT BETH IS FOR MY KIDS AFTER ALL, I MOVED TO THE CITY SO THAT MY KIDS CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE.

IF NOT, HONESTLY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT BACK FROM WHERE IT CAME FROM.

I APPRECIATE IT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM, PROVIDE US WITH YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

HELLO.

UM, RESPECTED MAYOR ESPINOSA AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS JOHN .

I LIVE AT, UH, 8 41 TEAKWOOD AVENUE.

UM, ABOUT, UH, THREE OR FOUR HOMES AWAY FROM THAT RENTAL.

[00:30:02]

UM, I'M HERE TODAY.

UM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS, UH, IN REGARDS TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW SAID, UH, THE OWNER, UH, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEMS WE WERE HAVING.

UM, ONE OF THE PARTIES COMES TO MIND.

UH, IT WAS LIKE A WAR ZONE.

MY DAUGHTER WHO'S 28.

NOW SHE WAS, UM, LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND SHE SAID, MOM, THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO EITHER BLOW UP OUR STREET OR, YOU KNOW, HARM SOMEONE.

THEY WERE ERASING THEIR CARS.

THERE WAS, UM, ALCOHOL BOTTLES ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THEY TRASHED.

ONE OF THEM WAS PEEING ON ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS LAWN.

UM, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

IT HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN.

UM, THE OWNER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE OWNER HAS BEEN KNOWN TO SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS.

HE LIVED THERE AND IN BLATANT DISREGARD OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.

HE ACTUALLY, AFTER ALL THIS HAPPENED, HE HOSTED A PARTY.

THERE WERE 40 CARS.

I COUNTED ALL OF THEM, 40 CARS IN AND AROUND OUR STREETS WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE, PLAYING LOUD MUSIC, DOING WHATEVER DRUGS THEY WERE DOING, BECAUSE YOU COULD SMELL THE DRUGS, YOU KNOW, AND, AND WE WERE JUST AT A LOSS.

WE'RE LIKE, HOW CAN THIS GO ON IN A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD? WE MOVED HERE FROM SERITOS SERITOS IS A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY'RE QUIET CITY WITH A NOISE ORDINANCES IN PLACE, NOT JUST FROM 10:00 PM TO 8:00 AM.

IT'S ALL DAY LONG.

IF SOMEONE IS PLAYING LOUD MUSIC AND DISRUPTING THE PIECE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

UM, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AT OUR LAST MEETING, THE ONE PERSON WHO WAS OPPOSED TO THIS ORDINANCE TO SHUT DOWN THESE RENTALS SAID, UM, I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEIGHBOR WHO'S NOISY AND THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS, BUT I DISAGREE BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

THESE PEOPLE COME IN, THEY WANT TO VACATION.

THEY'RE THERE FOR A SHORT TIME.

THEY HAVE NO INVESTMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF THERE IS A NEIGHBOR, THERE'S MORE LIKELY THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO STAY THERE, LONG-TERM THEY ALSO WANT TO BE PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THERE ARE NOT NOISY NEIGHBORS.

THERE ARE, BUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING FOR SHORT TERM, THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR WHAT WE REALLY, WE REALLY VALUE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE WORKING, UM, FAMILIES, SOME OF US WORK THROUGH THE DAY, SOME OF US WORK THROUGH THE NIGHT WHEN WE COME HOME, IT'S OUR LITTLE, YOU KNOW, A HAVEN OF PEACE.

BUT WHEN WE COME HOME TO THIS, WE'RE ON EDGE.

WE CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

OUR KIDS CAN GO OUT AND PLAY.

THEY'RE ALWAYS STRESSED.

AND SO I REALLY URGE YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT WE HAVE SET TODAY AND PASS THE ORDINANCE THAT STOPS THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM IN OPPOSITION OF THIS ITEM, PLEASE PROVIDE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

HI, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS RANDY VARGAS.

I LIVE AT 900 TEAKWOOD AVENUE AND, UH, I AM OPPOSED TO THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

SO UNFORTUNATE.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED TO READ OFF OF.

HOWEVER, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN MENTIONED ARE THE TRASH CANS ARE LEFT.

GET LEFT OUT SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

UM, THE MULTIPLE CARS THAT ARE PARKED ALONG THE STREET, DOUBLE PARKED, YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE IN FRONT OF THE OTHER END OF THE STREET.

UM, THE LOUD MUSIC, OBVIOUSLY IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED, UH, I'M THE NEIGHBOR THAT HAD THE VIDEO OF, UH, SOMEBODY PEEING IN MY YARD.

AND I ALSO HAVE, WAS WATCHING.

I WAS AT WORK, UNFORTUNATELY AT THE TIME I DO WORK A LOT OF NIGHT SHIFTS AND, UH, I DID SEE TWO PEOPLE GET INTO A CAR.

THEY WERE IN THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, ONE NIGHT WITH OUR LIGHTS SHINING DIRECTLY IN MY, UH, HOUSE AT ABOUT ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

THEY GOT OUT THE MAN ZIPPED UP HIS PANTS.

AND, UH, SO THE HOUSE HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM FOR US.

I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THE PERSON URINATING IN MY YARD IF ANYBODY NEEDS TO SEE IT.

AND, UH, I HOPE TO PROHIBIT IT.

WITH ANY GIVEN PERIOD OF TIME? GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

IS THAT IT? THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. VARGAS.

I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM IN OPPOSITION? ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL ASK FOR COUNCIL QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION OR INTERACTION.

I'LL START OVER HERE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER GOLDMANS, UM, OF OUR POLICE CHIEF.

UM, HOW MANY CALLS WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU SAY THAT WE GET THAT CAN POSSIBLY RELATED TO SHORT-TERM RENTALS OR

[00:35:01]

UM, SO TEAKWOOD IS BY FAR THE MOST COMMON WHEN WE GET A CALL ON AND, UH, MR. RAMBLINGS MENTIONED, WE HAD ABOUT 14 CALLS, UM, IN A, LESS THAN A YEAR PERIOD OF TIME SPECIFIC TO THAT ADDRESS.

SO FORTH 14 CALLS FOR SERVICE, ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD THAT, UH, STANDS OUT THAT TED SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT YOU'VE HAD TO HAVE OUR UNITS COME OUT TO.

UM, OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE HAD SOME PARTY HOUSES, BUT THIS ONE IS SIGNIFICANT COMPARED TO ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY.

IN YOUR OPINION, UM, DO YOU THINK THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS ADVERSELY AFFECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS? SO THE, THE, THE REAL ISSUE WITH THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS IS OUR ABILITY TO ENFORCE OUR ALREADY ESTABLISHED MUNI CODES.

SO FOR AN EXAMPLE, IF THERE'S A PARTY ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND WE COME OUT AND WE GIVE A FIRST RESPONSE, BUT BY THE NEXT DAY THAT THEY LEAVE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, A NEW GROUP COMES IN AND WE BASICALLY START OVER AGAIN.

SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE THESE NOISE COMPLAINTS WHEN THERE'S NEW PEOPLE EVERY TIME.

SO THESE TYPES OF SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE DIFFICULT.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY A BIG CONCERN ON YOUR PART.

I, UH, I RECEIVED MITCH JUST FOR THE RECORD MAN OF ME.

I'VE RECEIVED NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS OF, FROM OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL.

AND I PERSONALLY HAVE GONE OUT TO TEAKWOOD AND WHEN I WAS OUT THERE, I, THE AROMA OF MARIJUANA IN THAT AREA WAS JUST CRAZY.

I MEAN, I THINK I GOT A WHIP, THE SECONDHAND SMOKE OUT.

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

UH, I DO BELIEVE IN PROPERTY RIGHTS, BUT ALSO AM STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO OBEY THE LAWS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, CONFORM WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO I AM, UH, IN STRONG, UH, SUPPORTING SOME KIND OF, UH, PROHIBIT THIS TYPE OF, UH, RENTALS IN THE COMMUNITIES WOULD BE THE DIRECTION I WOULD BE GOING IN, UH, FOR DEF FOR SURE, THIS IS A WONDERFUL NEIGHBOR.

THESE PEOPLE HERE, I ATTEND, I DO THEIR, A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION MEETING EVERY YEAR FOR THEM.

AND, AND SO OUTSTANDING A NEIGHBORHOOD, VERY QUIET, AND TO SEE THIS POP UP IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, AS WELL AS OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, IT'S DISHEARTENING FOR ME.

COUNCIL MEMBER GOMEZ, THE COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW WANTS TO SPEAK.

IS COMING INTO MY, MY PHILOSOPHY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A FRIEND ON TEAKWOOD AS WELL FROM CHURCH.

WHO'S NOT HERE TONIGHT.

I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS HOUSE AS WELL, SO, UM, APPRECIATE YOU GUYS ALL BEING HERE AND, UH, YOU MAKE, UH, YOU KNOW, INTERESTING POINTS AND VALID POINTS.

AND I, I DO HAVE, UM, A LOT OF SYMPATHY FOR YOUR SITUATION, HAVING A HOUSE IN YOUR STREETS.

IT'S A NIGHTMARE CAN OBVIOUSLY DRAG EVERYONE DOWN.

SO, UM, THE STRUGGLE I'M HAVING, I'M, I'M WONDERING ABOUT PASSING A CITYWIDE POLICY, LARGELY BASED ON THIS ONE SITUATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OTHERS, BUT I, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES MAYBE WE USING THE ANALOGY OF A PENDULUM WE CAN SWING SO FAR ONE WAY WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE, UH, APPROACHING THIS IN A MEASURED WAY.

UM, NOT PUNISHING, MAYBE THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE OPERATING A SHORT-TERM RENTAL AND THERE'S NO PROBLEM.

AND I DON'T WANNA, YOU KNOW, GO AFTER THEM, UH, WITH THIS, SOME OF THE THINGS I'M HEARING, UM, LIVING IN GARAGES, WELL, THAT'S ILLEGAL ALREADY PARKING ON THE STREET OVERNIGHT.

THE CITY ALREADY PROHIBITS THAT LITTERING IS ILLEGAL BLASTING MUSIC ALL NIGHT.

WE HAVE THAT ILLEGAL LEAVING TRASH CANS OUT ACTUALLY VISIBLE IS ILLEGAL.

USING DRUGS IS ILLEGAL URINATING IN SOMEONE'S LAWN.

IT'S ALREADY ILLEGAL.

SO, I MEAN, I'M THINKING ALL THESE THINGS I'M HEARING, I ARE TERRIBLE AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE HAPPENING NEXT DOOR TO YOU, BUT UNDER EXISTING ORDINANCE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY ALL PROHIBITED IN THE CITY.

SO I JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY WE CAN, UM, ENFORCE THIS, UM, EXISTING POLICY.

MAYBE ONE THING I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH IS, ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING MORE ABOUT, AND I HAD NO IDEA WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THIS LETTER, BUT IN THIS READING, THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A AGREEMENT BETWEEN VRVO AND AIRBNB, KIND OF THE PROVIDERS OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

THEY ARE, THEY CALLING IT IN HIS LETTER, A COMMUNITY INTEGRITY PROGRAM, A NEW PARTNERSHIP WHERE THEY SHARE INFORMATION TO REPEAT PARTY HOUSES AND PREVENT FUTURE BOOKINGS ON EITHER PLATFORMS. SO I THINK MY SUGGESTION, MADAM MAYOR, BEFORE WE, UM, IF WE DO ANYTHING REAL DRASTIC HERE, PERHAPS WE COULD, UH, EXPLORE WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

UM, WITH THE PROVIDERS.

OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO TRY TO DO A BETTER JOB OF ENFORCING OUR EXISTING CODES OF IF NEED BE ON, ON TEAKWOOD, WHERE WE'RE, WE'RE HAVING A PROBLEM.

UM, AND I MEAN, I, I KNOW IN MY STREET WE'VE, WE'VE HAD MUSIC BLASTING OR WHATEVER WE DO CALL THE POLICE, AND THERE'LL BE THERE PRETTY SOON, PRETTY QUICKLY.

AND IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT'S DONE A GOOD JOB AT, UH, ENFORCING THAT, BUT IT

[00:40:01]

AND, AND SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT BE TELLING SOMEONE I PROHIBIT YOU FROM RENTING OUT YOUR HOUSE FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS? I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT THAT, THAT SQUARES WELL WITH, WITH MY, UM, UNDERSTANDING OF PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY WITH RESPECT, OF COURSE, TO THE NEIGHBORS AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM, WE HAVE TO SOMEHOW STRIKE THAT RIGHT BALANCE.

SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, SHAW MAYOR PRO TEM AND DRANO.

MADAM MAYOR.

UM, RESPECTFULLY, I I'LL, I'LL DISAGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE, UH, COUNCILMAN SHAW, UH, HAVING BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ALMOST 26 YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE, UH, WHAT, UH, WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE.

14 CALLS FOR SERVICE IN ONE STREET.

THAT'S A, THAT'S ONE CALL TOO MANY.

IF HE ASKS ME AND I'M LOOKING OVER OUR STAFF REPORT AND, UH, UH, LOOKING, UH, LOOKING AT OUR, UH, AT OUR GENERAL PLAN AND READING OVER OUR GENERAL PLAN.

ONE IN PARTICULAR IS A POLICY OF LAND USE 6.1 EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF USES AND AMENITIES STRIVE TO ENSURE THAT DESIRABLE USES AND NEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES ARE DISTRIBUTED EQUITABLY THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL GOOD.

UH, WHAT, UH, THE OTHER ONE HERE COMES TO MIND IS A 10.1, OUR LAND USE, AND OF COURSE THAT'S IN OUR STAFF REPORT, BUT I TOOK THE TIME TO BRING IT UP.

UH, YESTERDAY HOME OCCUPATIONS ACCOMMODATE HOME OCCUPATION USES IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS PROVIDED THAT THEY HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC PARKING DELIVERY OR OTHER IMPACTS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

THIS HAS A SERIOUS IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHAT CONCERNS ME? I HAVEN'T MET MS. ELIZABETH, IS THAT YOUR NAME? ARE THOSE YOUR TWO KIDS AND THEY'RE SMELLING WHILE THERE'S, I'M GUESSING WHAT'S MARIJUANA PROBABLY IS WHAT YOU'RE SMELLING THAT YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR OWN POOL.

YEAH, THAT'S DISTURBING TO ME, VERY DISTURBING.

UM, SO, UH, I, I HAVE GREAT ISSUE WITH IT.

UM, AND OF COURSE, UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE LAND USE RIGHTS OF COURSE, FOR, FOR PROPERTY OWNERS, BUT, UH, UM, THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE NOT THE ANSWER.

WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS FOR MR. SHAW WOULD MENTIONED ABOUT, UH, DEBT, ESSENTIALLY BEING A DESTINATION CITY, UH, YOU KNOW, ANAHEIM AND CITIES LIKE THAT.

WHAT WILL WE DO HAVE COMING HERE, UH, IS, UH, LOOKING AT THE INN AND SUITES, WHICH IS, UH, UNDER CONSTRUCTION GRADING RIGHT NOW.

I BELIEVE ON IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.

THAT'S GONNA MORE THAN ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO COME AND STAY IN A HOPPER.

AND, AND I WELCOME THEM.

I DO, UH, BUT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL IN YOUR AREA AND OTHER AREAS I THINK, UH, I THINK IS NOT THE WAY TO GO.

UH, I AM, UH, I'M AGAINST SHORT-TERM RENTALS, SO I'LL, I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE MORE THING, MR. VARGAS, DO YOU HAVE THAT? CAN I SEE THAT VIDEO REAL QUICK? IF, IF YOU CAN INDULGE ME FOR A SECOND, I WANT TO SEE THIS AND YOU SAY, THIS IS SOMEBODY URINATING IT'S KIND OF GRAINY.

NO, THAT'S UH, YEAH, BEEN THERE SEEN THAT MANY, A PARTY CALLS.

UM, AND NO, I'M, UH, I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE, OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL, SO I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.

BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY GETS DISPOSED, UH, RARELY DO THEY GET ADJUDICATED AND RARELY DOES IT CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR.

MAYOR PRO TEM, UM, YOUR COUNSELOR, MISS AMANI WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING IS THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

UM, I DON'T DON'T AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN SHAW EITHER.

UM, HE LISTED A NUMBER OF ORDINANCES OR LAWS THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS THAT HE FEELS COULD BE ENFORCED RATHER THAN A NEW LAW.

YET.

I HAVE A, UM, PROBLEMATIC RENTER BEHIND MY HOME AND EVERY WEEKEND I HEAR OUTSIDE SPEAKERS BLASTING, AND EVERY TIME MY WIFE AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING CHOOSES TO CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SHE'S ASKED IF THERE, IF SHE'S WILLING TO, UH, SIGN A CITIZEN'S ARREST COMPLAINT AND PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS.

AND FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE DISCUSSED IT DON'T WANT TO FILE AND MAKE A CITIZEN'S ARREST.

THEY DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED TO THAT DEGREE AND HAVE TO GO TO COURT AND GET CONTINUANCES AFTER CONTINUANCES,

[00:45:02]

UM, THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT IF THEY'RE PERMITTED AND WE VIOLATE THE PERMIT AND CONFISCATED AND PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS, THEY'RE ENTITLED TO, UM, CONFRONT THEIR ACCUSERS AND RECEIVE TESTIMONY.

AND WE WIND UP HOLDING A TRIAL HERE AT CITY HALL THAT COSTS AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY, AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME.

AND IT'S A DIVERSION FROM WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AS A CITY COUNCIL.

AND THAT'S TRYING TO COME UP WITH WAYS TO BETTER THE LIVES OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE AND FOR THE FIVE OR SIX PROPERTY OWNERS THAT CHOOSE TO ABANDON THEIR HOMES AND RENT THEM OUT TO PARTY GOERS, UH, AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORS.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO IS TO MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER AT YOUR EXPENSE.

SO I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM, UH, NOT, UH, GRANTING THEM A LAW THAT ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE PARTIES EVERY WEEKEND.

UM, AGAIN, WHEN THERE ARE BETTER VENUES LIKE HOTELS NEARBY.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

I BELIEVE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER SHAW WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING OR NO.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

UM, I DID ATTEND THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING THAT EVENING AND DID HEAR, UH, THE CONCERNS OF EVERYONE, BUT OF COURSE I DID NOT HAVE THEIR ENTIRE REPORT, UM, THAT I COULD READ AND, AND, UH, AND GET ALL THE INFORMATION TO, UM, SEE WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS TALKING ABOUT.

BUT, UH, I DID SEE THE REPORT NOW.

I SAW THE PICTURES.

I SAW THE EMAILS OF ALL OF YOU.

AND, UM, I'M JUST, SORRY, YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT.

I REALLY AM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN GOING ON, BUT, UH, ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY, YOU KNOW, I, AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE WORKING LATE AT NIGHT, CAUSE I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO EVEN TRY TO GET TO TWO HOURS OF SLEEP, DECENT HOURS OF SLEEP, LET ALONE HAVE ALL THAT NOISE AND THE ODORS AND EVERYTHING THAT ARE COMING.

SO, UM, IT'S YOUR WELFARE AND YOUR SAFETY? UM, SO I HAD CONCERNS AS WELL AND, UM, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE MADE THEIR BOTH VOICE, THEIR OPINIONS AS WELL.

AND I AM GOING TO ASK FOR, UM, EMOTION MATTERS.

I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA, AMENDING TITLE 18 ZONING BY MODIFYING SECTION 18.0 4.030 TERMS DEFINED ADDING THE DEFINITION OF SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTALS AND SECTION 18.0 6.040, UH, TABLE 18.0 6.0 FOR A LAND USE MATRIX, ADDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS AS PROHIBITED USE IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA.

I'LL SECOND THE FINDING REGARDING THE SEAT AS WELL.

OH, OKAY.

UM, UH, MAKING THE FINDING THAT THIS, UH, PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTION 1 5 0 6, 1 B3 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT GUIDELINES, WHICH COVERS ACTIVITIES WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY.

WELL, I'M SORRY.

POSSIBILITY POSITIVELY.

NO, I'M GETTING OLD HERE.

A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA PUBLIC RESOURCE CODE S 2 1 0 8 0 0.17 COVERED MR. CITY ATTORNEY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I'LL SECOND.

MADAM MAYOR, I'D MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT WE LAY THIS ITEM ON THE TABLE TILL THE SUBSEQUENT MEETING AND DIRECT STAFF TO CONTACT EXPEDIA GROUP AND EXPLORE WITH THEM.

THE OPTIONS OF MADE AVAILABLE IN THEIR STATE, NEIGHBORLY NOISE, AWARE AND COMMUNITY INTEGRITY PROGRAM AND BRING THOSE OPTIONS BACK TO A COUNCIL, A SUBSEQUENT COUNCIL MEETING.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR ON JUNE 15TH, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PHASED OUT THE BLUEPRINT FOR A SAFETY SAFER ECONOMY AND THE COLOR CODED SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT TO MONITOR THE RATE OF COVID 19 TRANSMISSION IN EACH COUNTY.

IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY.

MADAM MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL.

YES, IT DIES BECAUSE OF THE SECOND.

SO WE'LL GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND THERE WAS A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM MEDRANO.

IF THE COUNCIL WOULD PLEASE VOTE MOTION PASSED FOUR ONE.
