Santa Rosa Zoning Code Ch. 20-48 Short-Term Rentals (§ 20-48.010 – § 20-48.080)

This chapter provides a regulatory framework for the Short-Term Rental of residential units so that ShortTerm Rental activities do not become a nuisance or threat to the public peace, welfare, health, or safety of neighboring properties; to preserve the City's limited housing stock; to retain the residential characteristics of neighborhoods; and to facilitate the collection of Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) and Business

Improvement Area (BIA) assessments. In order to monitor the success of Chapter 20-48 in reaching these goals and objectives, City Council has directed staff to provide the Council with an opportunity to review Chapter 20-48, in its entirety, in or about August 2024. Council shall use that opportunity to determine if any revisions are necessary or appropriate. In the event that Council determines that no revisions are necessary or appropriate, or if no such Council review takes place, Chapter 20-48 shall remain in full force and effect as written.
