Sacramento Municipal Code Art. IV Procedures for Actions on Permits

A. The city manager may suspend, revoke, or condition any short-term rental permit for any of the following reasons:

1. One or more of the circumstances upon which a short-term rental permit could be denied as described in section 5.114.120 exists or has occurred; or

2. The permittee has violated any provision of this chapter.

B. The conditions that the city manager may impose on the short-term rental permit include, but are not limited to:

1. Requiring the permittee to remain at the dwelling unit during certain hours while guests are present;

2. For rentals that are the primary residence of the permittee, requiring a property manager who resides in the city and who will quickly respond to complaints;

3. Reducing the number of guests that are allowed to lodge at the dwelling unit; and

4. Reducing the number of days in a year that the permittee is allowed to provide lodging.

C. For rentals that are not the primary residence of the permittee, the city manager shall impose a condition on the short-term permit that the permittee identify - by name, address, and contact information, including phone number and email address - a property manager who resides within a 30-mile radius of the short-term rental and who will quickly respond to complaints. The permittee shall notify the city of any change in information for the property manager. (Ord. 2017-0048 § 3; Ord. 2016-0004 § 1)

A. No short-term rental permit may be suspended, revoked, or conditioned until the permittee is provided a notice of hearing pursuant to Section 5.114.320 and an opportunity to be heard by the city manager.

B. Notwithstanding subsection A, a permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be suspended, revoked, or conditioned immediately upon the city manager's determination that the immediate suspension of the permit is necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare.

C. If a permit is immediately suspended pursuant to subsection B, the permittee subsequently shall be provided a notice of hearing pursuant to Section 5.114.320 and an opportunity to be heard by the city manager. (Ord. 2016-0004 § 1)

A. The city manager shall serve on the permittee a notice of hearing on the decision to suspend, revoke, or condition a short-term rental permit. The notice shall be in writing and contain a brief statement of the grounds for the action, and the date, time, and location of the hearing.

B. The notice of hearing shall be personally served or sent by certified mail to the permittee at the address submitted in the permit application at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the hearing. Service by certified mail is complete at the time the notice is deposited in the mail. (Ord. 2016-0004 § 1)

A. If, after the permittee has had an opportunity to be heard, the city manager decides to suspend, revoke, or condition a short-term rental permit, the city manager shall serve a notice of decision on the permittee. The notice shall be in writing and contain:

1. The specific grounds for the decision;

2. A statement that the permittee may appeal the decision by submitting an appeal, in writing to the city manager, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of service of the notice; and

3. A statement advising that the failure to appeal the decision will constitute a waiver of all rights to an appeal hearing, a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and a bar to any judicial action pertaining to the city manager's decision.

B. The notice of decision shall be personally served or sent by certified mail to the permittee at the address submitted in the permit application. Service by certified mail is complete at the time the notice is deposited in the mail. (Ord. 2016-0004 § 1)

A permittee shall return a suspended or revoked short-term rental permit to the city manager within three calendar days of the receipt of the notice of decision described in Section 5.114.330. (Ord. 2016-0004 § 1)
