To: City Council
Date: May 17, 2022
Department: Police Department
Prepared by: Christina Newsom, Compliance Manager
Subject: Noise Control Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff Report;
2) Entertain questions of Staff from the City Council;
3) Open the Public Hearing;
4) Take public testimony;
5) Close the Public Hearing;
6) City Council discussion and questions to Staff; and
7) Introduce for First Reading and read by title only, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs Amending Chapter 8.12 (“Noise Control”) of Title 8 (“Health and Safety”) of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code; Amending Section 4.16.010 (“Unlawful Acts—Public Nuisances”) Of Chapter 4.16 (“Public Nuisances”) of Title 4 (“Code Enforcement”) of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code; Amending Section 5.28.070 (“Permit Use and Manner of Peddling”) of Chapter 5.28 (“Sidewalk Vendors and Peddlers”) of Title 5 (“Business Licenses and Regulations”) of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code; Amending Section 5.52.030 (“General Regulations”) of Chapter 5.52 (“Mobile Food Vending Vehicles”) of Title 5 (“Business Licenses and Regulations”) of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code."
BACKGROUND:
The Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code (“DHSMC”) Chapters 4.16, 8.12, 5.28, and 5.52 regulates noise in various situations. Noise disturbance is defined and regulated primarily through Chapter 8.12 of the DHSMC. Noise mitigation is also referenced in other provisions of the DHSMC, including disturbances between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., activities by peddlers, and food trucks.
However, the current regulations are inconsistent and often do not provide much guidance on determining a noise violation.
DISCUSSION:
To promote the consistent enforcement of noise regulations, the proposed Ordinance will amend each of the provisions identified above to reference Chapter 8.12 as the guide for determining noise violations. Additionally, Chapter 8.12 will be updated to include factors for determining a noise disturbance.
The proposed ordinance will amend noise regulations as follows:
SR-22-081
• Establish that the existence of unreasonable noise and vibration within the City is a condition that is detrimental to the peace, health, safety, welfare and quality of life of the citizens and shall be regulated in the public interest.
• Remove the outlined enforcement procedures in Chapter 8.12 and instead use applicable procedures in Title 4 (Code Enforcement) of the code.
• Provide factors to determine whether a violation of Chapter 8.12 occurred including: the volume, level and intensity of the noise, the proximity of the noise to residential or commercial sleeping areas, and the nature and zoning of the area within which the noise emanates.
This updated streamlined procedure will allow City staff to rely upon uniform rules to mitigate unreasonable noise in a variety of contexts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: May 17, 2022
Department: City Clerk
Prepared by: Carmezi Russell, Deputy City Clerk
Subject: Funding Request from Dr. Carreón Foundation
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider a scholarship funding request from the Dr. Carreón Foundation.
BACKGROUND:
For 31 years, the Dr. Carreon Foundation has provided educational scholarships to students in the Coachella Valley. In the past 6 years, 21 students from Desert Hot Springs High School have received $45,000 in scholarship awards.
DISCUSSION:
On April 5, 2022, Ricardo Loretta, Executive Director of the Dr. Carreon Foundation presented a scholarship funding request letter to the City Council (Exhibit 1). The letter is requesting the City partner with the foundation and provide funding in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. The funding provided will be matched through their "3 for 1 Program" in which contributions are matched at double or triple the funding amount.
This funding request is for the City Council's consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This request is currently not included in the FY2021-2022 Amended Budget. City Council approval of this funding request will increase budgeted expenditures in the Consolidated General Fund for FY 2021-22 in account 100-4320-41-11-0000 (City Council/Contract Services). If approved, it would reduced the FY2021-2022 projected surplus of $105,700 by the amount approved by City Council.

Dear Friends, April 5, 2022
Once again we renew our invitation to you to partner with us in providing education opportunities for youth in Desert Hot Springs.
For 31 years, our foundation has helped Mexican—Americanboys and girls in the Coachella Valley realize their dreams of a better life through education. In the past 6 years alone, 21 students from Desert Hot Springs HS have received $45,000 in scholarship awards. We are proud that many of our awardees return to the desert for very rewarding careers, one great example being Carreén scholar Mr DanielPorras, who is now your Assistant City Manager!
Through our 3 For 1 Program, contributing partners have their donations doubled or even tripled, so that a $1,000 investment becomes $2,000 to $3,000 in scholarships. I am hopeful you willhelp us again, and if at all possible, provide an investment in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. That could translate to as muchas $30,000 in new scholarships for Desert Hot Springs High School!

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: May 17, 2022
Department: City Manager
Sponsored by: Russell Betts, Council Member
Gary Gardner, Mayor Pro Tem
Subject: Short Term Vacation Rentals
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider recommendations and provide direction to Staff.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, Mayor Pro Tem Gary Gardner and Councilmember Russell Betts proposed a future agenda item to discuss details on the management and enforcement of Short Term Vacation Rentals.
A Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) is a rental of all (or a portion of) a home for periods of less than 30 nights and often advertised on websites such as Airbnb, VRBO and other online platforms. The City of Desert Hot Springs allows for rentals and specifies regulations under Chapter 5.44 of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code. STVRs are described as a privately owned residential dwelling rented for occupancy for up to 30 consecutive days. Such rentals are subject to Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT).
The City currently has approximately 200 properties registered and recent research suggests that number is likely higher. These numbers are likely to continue increasing due to their popularity with Coachella Valley tourists. STVRs carry both positive and negative impacts.
DISCUSSION:
Staff, Mr. Betts and Mr. Gardner reviewed current STVR procedures, considered major areas of concern, researched solutions, and formed recommendations. Four areas are organized as (1) STVR Owner Compliance, (2) Noise Issues, (3) STVR Management, and (4) Impacts to City and Residents. (1) STVR Owner Compliance
Owner compliance currently specifies registration and operational requirements to comply with applicable federal, state, and local rules regarding fire, building, safety, health, and other relevant laws.
Staff is providing additional recommendations to mitigate negative impacts on surrounding neighbors and to ensure the City accounts for STVRs and their applicable TOT.
The recommendations include:
• Providing an Enforcement Flow Chart to permit holders showing enforcement measures and escalations (including fines and suspension).
SR-22-128
• Requiring tenants to agree to and sign a “Desert Hot Springs Rental Regulations” document that outlines rules and describes enforcement steps.
• Requiring immediate eviction clauses for violations of the STVR noise and occupancy requirements within STVR rental agreements.
• Specifying that trash cans be kept to a minimum and only allowing placing of receptacles out for collection no sooner than the night before collection day. • Adding fines for the operation of unlicensed STVRS and collecting back unpaid TOT from unlicensed properties.
(2) Noise Issues
Currently, City code specifies STVR owners to respond to notifications of unreasonable noise and specifies the occupancy shall be terminated after three complaints within a 48-hour period. The City’s ability to enforce complaints is currently limited to Public Safety Staff. In addition to adding more stringent requirements to mitigate noise and occupancy issues, additional enforcement specifically addressing STVRs is recommended. Costs for enforcement will be funded by STVR annual registration fees, as determined by a nexus study.
Noise recommendations include:
• Proactive enforcement during the peak STVR hours on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. • Requiring the installation of sound level monitors that notify owners (or owner’s agents) and the City’s enforcement agents when noise exceeds acceptable levels. • Requiring owners (or owner’s agents) to physically respond to noise or capacity complaints within 30 minutes.
• A dedicated enforcement hotline routed to the City’s on duty enforcement team. (3) STVR Management
Costs for license fees, enforcement, and other related resources will need to be increased to support STVR compliance, noise, and management recommendations. Staff will provide a nexus study to determine annual license fees that cover such costs once recommendations have been considered and approved.
STVR management recommendations include:
• Online access for City residents of STVR locations, with the ability to easily identify the contact information of the STVR owner (or owner’s agent).
• Proactive tracking services to ensure all STVRs are identified. • A dedicated enforcement hotline.
• Dedicated staffing for STVR enforcement.
(4) Impacts to City and Residents
STVRs within the City are associated with both positive and negative impacts. As STVRs increase due to popularity and demand such impacts will also increase. While STVRs are currently permitted in the
SR-22-128
City Code, enacting a ban or creating limits will affect such impacts. Below is a list of impacts for consideration:
• Brings an additional tourism means to the City and associated local business spending • Tax revenue to the City ($676,00 for FY2020-21)
• Generates income opportunities for seasonal residents • STVR owners motivated to keep properties well maintained and attractive • Makes it difficult for home buyers (and first-time buyers) to purchase a home due to STVR impacts on supply and increasing pricing
• Loss of a community/neighborhood feel in residential zones • Brings commercialized activities to residential neighborhoods • Long term rental housing availability and affordability Staff is recommending that the City Council approve moving forward with the regulatory approaches previously listed under the (1) Owner Compliance, (2) Noise Issues, and (3) STVR Management categories. For the (4) Impact to City and Residents section, Staff is asking that the City Council provide direction on the following topics:
1) Banning or putting a moratorium on STVRs.
2) Limiting the number of permitted STVRs by:
• Placing a cap on the number of Citywide permits.
• Adding distance requirements between STVRs.
Attached are exhibits providing further information for consideration of STVR impacts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For Fiscal Year 2020-2021, STVRs provided $676,00 in Transient Occupancy Tax Revenue. Through March 2022 of Fiscal Year 2021-2022, STVRS have provided $768,800 in Transient Occupancy Tax Revenue.

3 The travel sector is an integral part of the Coachella Valley regional economy. Visitors generate significant economic benefits to households, businesses, and government alike and represent a critical driver of the region’s future. An estimated
8.6 million visitors spent $3.6 billion in the Coachella Valley in Calendar Year (CY) 2020. This direct spending generated total gross output (business sales) of $4.5 billion, more than 33,000 jobs, $1.1 billion in income earned in the region, and $428 million in state and local tax revenues.
A significant share of visitors to the Coachella Valley stay in short-term vacation rentals (STVRs), and their spending drives local jobs and income. Just under 1.0 million visitors staying in STVR accommodations accounted for 12% of total volume,
and their $564 million in spending accounted for 16% of total visitor spending in the region in (CY) 2020. An estimated $22.1 million in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) driven by STVRs accounted for 28.6% of total TOT in the region.
INTRODUCTION
By monitoring the visitor economy and STVR segment of the market, local policymakers can inform decisions regarding the funding and prioritization of the sector’s development and also craft balanced and effective local regulations. They can also carefully monitor its successes and future needs. This is particularly true for municipalities in the Coachella Valley, as the visitor economy has been severely affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic, and as STVRs are increasingly utilized by visitors to the region.
Previous analysis conducted by Tourism Economics
quantified the overall tourism economy in the region. This analysis explores in-depth the contribution to the regional economy of the STVR segment of the broader tourism
market. The results of this study measure the benefits of short-term vacation rentals in terms of direct visitor
spending, as well as the total economic impacts, jobs, and fiscal (tax) impacts in the broader economy.
4 An IMPLAN input-output model was constructed for
Riverside County. The model traces the flow of visitor-related expenditures through the local economy and their effects on employment, wages, and taxes. IMPLAN also quantifies the indirect (supplier) and induced (income) impacts of tourism.
Tourism Economics then cross-checked these findings with employment and wage data for each sector to ensure the
findings are within reasonable ranges. Modeling results were then calibrated to reflect the benefits realized only in the nine municipalities included in the Coachella Valley. These include:
• Palm Springs
• Desert Hot Springs
• Cathedral City
• Rancho Mirage
• Palm Desert
• Indian Wells
• La Quinta
• Indio
• Coachella
This report includes city level detail for the City of Desert Hot Springs.
METHODOLOGY AND
DATA SOURCES
Data covering regional gasoline price levels and changes were obtained from the BLS and the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Estimates of STVR visitor expenditures in the Coachella Valley were based on several sources including:
• Data covering supply, demand and prices in the shortterm vacation rental market obtained from AirDNA and Key Data.
• Prior visitor profile survey research completed by Visit Greater Palm Springs.
• Transient Occupancy Tax data for vacation rentals was obtained from the respective municipalities, budget
documents, and Tourism Economics estimates.
• Industry data on employment, wages and sales from the U.S. Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
KEY FINDINGS:
COACHELLA VALLEY
6 Despite the COVID-19 pandemic in (CY) 2020, the
recovery in short-term vacation rentals took hold in
the second half of the year as some visitors likely
shifted away from hotels for lodging options. The
STVR rental visitor was a key driver of business sales, employment, and tax revenue. Short-term vacation
rentals accounted for nearly 16% of all visitor
spending in the region. Considering just overnight
visitors, STVRs accounted for nearly one-third of the
market.
KEY FINDINGS
Short-term vacation rentals accounted for a
significant share of the tourism market in
2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Visitor Spending
STVR visitors to the Coachella Valley spent $564 million in (CY) 2020. This direct spending generated $700 million in total business sales, including indirect and induced
impacts.
Employment supporter
Fiscal Contributions
STVRs in the Coachella Valley generated $128 million
in tax revenues in (CY) 2020, with $91 million accruing to state and local governments.
A total of 4,200 jobs were sustained by STVR visitors
to the Coachella Valley in (CY) 2020, generating $103
million in income for workers in the region.
7 The $91 million in state and
local taxes generated by STVRs
would cover the average salaries
for 600 firemen, 700 police
officers, or 1,100 teachers in the
Coachella Valley.

TOURISM IN 2020
9 Overall visitor volume and spending in the Coachella
Valley were significantly impacted by the pandemic.
Both the limitations and restrictions to mobility, as
well as economic disruptions, hit travel hard in the
Coachella Valley, and other destinations.
While the annual numbers were weak, indicators in
the latter part of 2020 reflected recovery. The
shutdowns in the spring cut Leisure & Hospitality
employment about 45% in the broader Riverside
County. However, by the end of the year, with
relaxation of restrictions and federal stimulus
support, employment levels were slightly higher at
about 40% below pre-pandemic levels.

TRENDS
Pandemic affected visitor spending in 2020
Retail spending held its own
Despite declines, the Coachella Valley still
welcomed 8.6 million visitors in 2020.
Visitor spending amounted to $3.6 billion
Employment in the retail sector fell 23% at the lowest
point during the spring, in the broader Riverside
County. By the end of the year, employment levels
were only 8% lower than at the start of the year. Local demand helped to offset lost visitor spending.
Overnight visitation declined faster than day
visitation, by 43.2% compared to a 34.8% decline on
the day side.
Visitor spending was also about 40% lower in 2020
versus a year earlier, but visitors still spent
significantly in the regional economy in 2020.
Shutdowns and health and safety concerns
weighed on visitor spending.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt
across all sectors of the economy, but Leisure &

employment was reduced to a lesser degree and
recovery was more robust, the broader Leisure &
Hospitality sector experienced a deeper trough in
the Spring of 2020 and recovery has been more
muted.
Leisure & Hospitality includes Arts, Entertainment
and Recreation, Accommodations, and Food and
Beverage Services, sectors that serve significant
non-local demand.

STVR ECONOMIC IMPACT:
COACHELLA VALLEY
16 Our analysis of the STVR impact on the
Coachella Valley begins with actual spending
by visitors, but also considers the
downstream effects of this injection of
spending into the local economy. To
determine the total economic impact in the
Coachella Valley, we input visitor spending
into a model of the Coachella Valley regional
economy created in IMPLAN. The model
calculates three distinct types of impact:
direct, indirect, and induced.
The impacts on business sales, jobs, wages,
and taxes are calculated for all three levels of
impact.
How visitor spending generates
employment and income
1. Direct Impacts: Visitors create direct
economic value within a discreet group of
sectors (e.g., recreation, transportation).
This supports a relative proportion of
jobs, wages, taxes, and GDP within each
sector.
2. Indirect Impacts: Each directly affected
sector also purchases goods and services
as inputs (e.g., food wholesalers, utilities)
into production. These impacts are called
indirect impacts.
3. Induced Impacts: Lastly, the induced
impact is generated when employees
whose wages are generated whether
directly or indirectly by visitors, spend
those wages in the local economy.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS Page 58 of 543
17 IMPLAN is particularly effective because it
calculates these three levels of impact – direct,
indirect, and induced – for a broad set of
indicators. These include the following:
• Spending
• Wages
• Employment
• Federal Taxes
• State Taxes
• Local Taxes

2 Executive Summary
Short-term residential accommodations in Palm Springs have been regulated since the introduction of Ordinance No. 1748 in 2008, which added Section 5.25 to the municipal code. These regulations have evolved over time, including updates in 2014 (No. 1848) and 2016 (No. 1907). The City Council adopted the current version of Ordinance No. 1918 in April 2017, which amended and restated the City's adopted Vacation Rental Ordinance. The Ordinance imposes additional restrictions on occupancy and use of Vacation Rental properties in Palm Springs, different and complementary to restrictions initially included in Ordinance No. 1907 and provides additional enforcement oversight.
Regulatory goals of the Ordinance include:
Preserve the character of neighborhoods
Minimize potential adverse impacts of transient uses on residential neighborhoods Ensure short-term rental use remains an ancillary and secondary use of residential properties Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 1918, Vacation Rental and Homeshare registrants have increased by
7.16% (from 2,135 to 2,288) as of December 2021. As of February 2022, 6.6% of the households in the City of Palm Springs are registered Vacation Rentals/ Homeshares.
Study Session - 6 Page 73 of 543
3 Core Requirements of the Current Palm Springs Vacation Rental Ordinance When adopted in 2008, the Palm Springs Vacation Rental Ordinance was one of the first municipal regulations to require registration, tax collection and regulation enforcement of vacation rentals. The 2017 Ordinance became a model for vacation rental regulations (often called “short-term rental” regulations) in many other cities, not just in Coachella Valley, but across California and the U.S.
The following are core requirements of the Ordinance.
Permit required: Vacation rentals (and now homeshares) must have a valid permit, renewed annually. The current permit fee is $944, which pays for 100% of all Vacation Rental City oversight.
TOT Tax Collected: Vacation rental permit holders must also have a Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) permit. They must collect, report, and remit TOT on a monthly basis.
Occupancy limits: The Ordinance set limits on the number of overnight and daytime guests that may be present on a property, and these are noted on the permit. The current ordinance lowered these limits to reduce maximum occupancy and set limits on the number of vehicles that can be present, as follows:
Ordinance 1918 Vacation Rental Occupancy and Vehicle Limits Local response contact required: All vacation rentals must have a local contact who is available 24 hours a day to respond in-person at the property within 30 minutes to any complaints or issues.
Vacation Rental Hotline: The Department of Special Programs Compliance (“Department”) contracts with Central Communications to provide a 24-hour Vacation Rental Hotline that can be used to report active nuisances or disturbances (such as noise, parking or over-occupancy) created by short-term rentals.
Study Session - 7 Page 74 of 543
4 Vacation Rental Ordinance Modifications Over Time
The Ordinance has been revised by both City Council actions and administrative regulations issued by the City Manager. An overview of the revisions is provided below:
Date Ordinance Regulation
2014 1848 Minimum age for responsible renter: The guest signing a vacation rental contract must be at least 25 years of age (this was raised from the original of 18).
Prohibition on outdoor/amplified music: Vacation rental guests may not have outdoor amplified music at any volume and music from indoors must be completely contained within the property.
Walk-up trash service required: Single-family home rentals are required to have “walk up” trash service to help ensure waste bins are not left in public view.
Registration number required in advertising: To assist the City in identifying unregistered vacation rentals, a requirement was added that registered vacation rentals must post their TOT numbers in all advertising (such as listings on vacation rental websites).
2016 1891 Interim Urgency Ordinance temporarily prohibiting the rental of apartment units for 28 days or less.
2016 1902 Permanent prohibition of the rental of apartment units for 28 days or less. 2017 Ordinance No. 1918 Requirements
Regulations added with the adoption of current Ordinance 1918 (ATTACHMENT 1) include:
New restrictions on permit eligibility and number of permits: Business entities are no longer allowed to acquire or renew vacation rental permits. An owner may now only be issued and hold one Vacation Rental Registration Certificate. Holders of multiple VR permits prior to Jan 10, 2017, can continue to renew their existing permits.
Limits on number of rental contracts per year: A maximum of 36 short-term guest stays per year, four of which must occur during the 3rd quarter of the year. “Three strikes” and suspension risk: Three citations (including administrative and nuisance-type citations) for violations of the ordinance in any 12-month period can result in a two-year suspension of the property’s permit. Strikes and suspensions are carried with the property.
Increased penalties for violations: Fines for violations were substantially increased to $500 for first violation and $1,000 for subsequent violations. Additionally, $2,500 fines were imposed for failure to submit contract summaries and failure to post City ID in advertisements.
Failure to obtain a permit: Operating a vacation rental without a permit is punishable by a $5,000 fine and the owner is permanently ineligible to operate a Vacation Rental in Palm Springs.
Various enhanced guest standards, hosted check-in/ meet and greet: All adult guests must now sign a “Statement of Rules and Regulations” certifying that they understand the conduct/noise restrictions outlined in the City’s “Good Neighbor Brochure.” Guests must have an in-person or live video conference meeting with the local property manager to go over these rules (either as part of check-in or within 24 hours of arriving at the property).
Study Session - 8 Page 75 of 543
5 “Friends and family” list/ restrictions on unpaid stays: Owners, at the time of application, may submit a list of “Family and Friends” that can occupy the short-term rental property as an unpaid guest stay. Unpaid guest stays count as a vacation rental “contract” and guests must adhere to all regulations of the Vacation Rental Ordinance. The list may be updated at the time of application renewal.
Restrictions on non-emergency weekend maintenance: Except for cases of emergencies, repairs and maintenance are not to be performed from 5 PM Friday through 8 AM Monday at homes with vacation rental permits.

6 Overview of Department of Special Program Compliance related to Vacation Rentals
In 2019, the enforcement function for Vacation Rental Compliance was moved under the Palm Springs Police Department and the administrative functions remained under the newly formed Department of Special Program Compliance.
The Department personnel are responsible for:
Processing new, renewal and transfer permit applications Accounts receivable; inspections; Hotline management
Citation administration
Operational auditing and reporting
Providing customer service to Vacation Rental owners and agencies as well as responding to resident inquiries
Processing the Administrative Citations for unregistered vacation rentals Managing the administration of citations by notifying each owner of citations that have been issued against their respective property
Monitoring compliance pursuant to Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.090(b), where after three violations in a twelve-month period, a two-year suspension notice is sent to the owner The Department prepares staff reports for all Administrative Appeals Board Meetings relating to Vacation Rental violations. These meetings are monthly and usually consist of 3 to 5 hearings. In 2021, 29 citations were issued for operating a Vacation Rental without a certificate. Thirteen of these citations were appealed and all thirteen were upheld.

10 Contract Summary Review
The Vacation Rental Ordinance requires Owners or Agencies to enter into a written contract with renters and submit a Contract Summary of the contract data to the Department of Special Program Compliance. A review of this data for calendar year 2021 shows that the median number of contracts per property per year for owner-operated properties was 18.6. For agency-operated properties the median number of contracts per property, per year was 18.9.

11 Contract Summary Distribution
It is important to note the Contract Summary data should not be interpreted as an exact reflection of the number of times a Vacation Rental is rented. Due to user errors (backward dates, incorrect contract number or incorrect year), we have found that there are sometimes duplicate entries, entries not cancelled and even entries missed. The data gives us is an approximate number of contracts used per vacation rental property.
Contract Summary by Neighborhoods
The Department has continued to educate owners and agencies on the importance of submitting accurate Contract Summaries. Since 2019, the Department has conducted quarterly audits to identify individual properties not submitting Contract Summaries. Warning letters are issued to property owners who fail to submit contract summaries, with citations issued for repeated offenders. To date, a total of six properties have been fined $2,500 and suspended for six months for failure to submit contract summaries. 0 50

Hotline Review
Residents may report active nuisances utilizing the Vacation Rental Hotline. The hotline will record the information and dispatch a Code Compliance Officer to the property.
The Hotline receives three categories of calls:
1. Active nuisance calls regarding a registered Vacation Rental.
2. Active nuisance calls regarding a non-Vacation Rental property.
3. Non-active nuisance calls regarding non-vacation rental issues.
The City receives an average of 974 active nuisance calls to the hotline each year. Of those total calls, 76% are related to Vacation Rentals properties, and 24% are related to non-Vacation Rental properties. For context, in the year 2021 there were a total of 44,711 contract summaries submitted and 733 active nuisance calls (1.7%) to the Vacation Rental hotline, which resulted in 190 administrative citations. 671

21 Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax collected by an operator from each guest (transient) and subsequently remitted to the City of Palm Springs. The current TOT rate is 11.5% for Vacation Rentals.
Commencing July 1, 2021, all Vacation Rental lodging located within the “Visit Greater Palm Springs” (Visit GPS) district are required to pay a 1% Tourism Bureau Improvement District (TBID) assessment on gross rental revenue. The funds collected from Vacation Rentals for the TBID are used specifically for marketing and destination program development.
An overview of the TOT (not including the TBID) for Vacation Rentals from the implementation of Ordinance 1918 through January 2022 is below:

La Quinta's balanced approach on shortterm rentals is working. Don't ruin that.
Adi Gross Guest columnist
Published 5:01 a.m. PT Feb. 28, 2022
The city of La Quinta should be commended for its fair and equitable approach to handling the short-term vacation rental (STVR) issue.
In a world where one small group of people can impact the lives of so many, La Quinta has wisely decided that a compromise for all is the best solution and that we can coexist.
On the anti-STVR group’s website, they list reasons for why STVRs should be banned from R1 zones. Many of these claims are inaccurate or without current factual data.
For example, they claim that unconstrained growth of STVRs continues to 16% saturation within La Quinta, overwhelming many neighborhoods (Cove, North La Quinta, and HOAs without STVR restrictions).
This claim as well as the majority of the “statistical numbers” posted by the group are completely outdated. The city has been diligently cleaning up the STVR program since January 2021 and has published the 2021 Annual Report with accurate data which shows that the hard work is bearing fruit.
A comprehensive version of this report is on the city's website for STVRs, LaQuintaCA.gov/connect/short-term-vacation-rentals, and is titled "STVR 2021 – Program Summary."
Reported complaints peaked in Q-2 & decreased 75% by Q-4. As the year went on, most complaints were about properties without an STVR permit.
And 70% of all 2021 citations were issued for administrative matters (i.e., paperwork) and not disturbances.
Unpermitted properties are 30-day rentals, people renting their properties illegally or homeowners who move out during special events and rent them out for the music festivals and

For 30-day rentals, owners are not required to have a permit, do not have to abide by the STVR mandates and are not tracked by the city.
It is irresponsible for any group to label owners of STVRs as profiteers or greedy corporations unless they somehow have access to their financial information and can back up these claims with facts.
The fact is that the majority of these homes have been passed down to individuals through a family trust or are second homes. This can be verified by looking up the list of STVRs on the City’s website.
Recently, Palm Desert also grappled with an STVR ban. Rather than compromising, the city allowed a small group of people to impact the lives of homeowners, businesses and many neighborhoods.
Now the majority of the pristine STVRs have turned into full-time, unkempt rentals with multiple people living in them clogging the streets with their cars.
So is it appropriate to allow the needs of one group to affect the lives of many? To push homeowners who have invested so much just before retirement to sell their properties, turn them into 30-day rentals or full-time rentals?
Or is it more democratic to look at the STVRs on a case-by-case basis, judging them on merit? The recent statistics provided by the city of La Quinta, after it made changes to its STVR program in an effort to compromise and include all sides, show that the majority of the problems come from 30-day or illegal rentals, not from STVRs playing by the rules.
If we can allow the city to continue reviewing data to make improvements to the STVR program, STVRs will naturally reduce in number, ultimately be phased out and replaced by 30-day or full-time rentals.

Keeping Palm Springs beautiful,
welcoming and safe for all
Vacation rentals remain a strong, secure provider of funds for the City.
We Love Palm Springs
Published 3:01 a.m. PT April 28, 2022

Palm Springs has taken the lead in creating a national model for managing vacation rentals within a community. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been a cooperative effort between the city, our neighbors and vacation rental owners to achieve the success we’re seeing today.
Why can it be called a success? Let’s provide some context. The City revised its vacation rental ordinance in 2017 and created a dedicated staff to handle all matters related to vacation rentals. This includes both hotline staff and enforcement officers, who are employees of the City and know the rules inside and out. This City department is fully funded by vacation rental permit fees – zero taxpayer dollars are used.
Now, here’s something you may not have known. The average response time to a hotline call requiring an officer at the property is just 19 minutes. That’s pretty darn quick! Moreover, the ordinance requires that each vacation rental owner or their manager needs to be locally available within 30 minutes of being notified of an incident or they will be cited — in Palm Springs it’s three strikes (citations) in a 12-month period and you’re out of business for two years.
But most importantly, both calls to the City and the number of citations issued are dropping.
Over the past 18 months, the data shows the City has seen a 23% decline in noise-related citations and are now averaging about three per month. In fact, disturbances are relatively few considering the number of guest stays. Considering the number of vacation rental stays compared to the number of noise citations, only 0.003% of guest stays in 2021 resulted in a
5/11/22, 1:06 PM Keeping Palm Springs beautiful, welcoming and safe for all https://www.desertsun.com/story/sponsor-story/we-love-palm-springs/2022/04/28/keeping-palm-springs-beautiful-welcoming-and-safe-all/9540325002/… 2/2 citation. If this sounds like a small number, that’s because it is. The City and the Office of Special Program Compliance deserve credit for operating an air-tight system of enforcement, and the overwhelming majority of vacation rental owners and visitors deserve credit for keeping to the rules.
Going forward, the most important thing that we can do as a City is to keep enforcement as a priority. We know from the data that most visitors are respectful and come here to enjoy the same peace and tranquility that brought each of us to Palm Springs. And that support doesn’t only come in the form of tourism dollars: vacation rentals help keep Palm Springs safer thanks to the more than $15 million in Transient Occupancy Tax money paid into the city’s General fund. That money goes directly to health, safety and many other vital community services. It’s all a part of the ecosystem that keeps this City as a great place to live in and visit.
So we’re on the right track, with plenty of reasons to celebrate. The COVID pandemic could have been devastating to Palm Springs’ economy, but a look at our downtown and neighborhood shopping centers shows that the stores and restaurants we cherish are still here, standing proudly. We are a resilient community that thrives on our welcoming diversity, robust tourism and the natural beauty that gave the City its name. These are the pillars of our strength which make Palm Springs everything we love about it – today and tomorrow.

Short Term Rentals and the SB County Housing Element (RHNA) We are continuing to track developments affecting the housing crisis within the Morongo Basin. Next Thursday’s agenda for the San Bernardino Planning Commission meeting indicates the Housing Element of the County Wide Plan (CWP) will be continued for the third time. This element of the CWP must be reviewed/revised and adopted every 8 years. An extension for the adoption of this element was granted from the October 2021 deadline and as of this writing, a draft of the updated element has yet to be published.
MBCA has been sounding the alarm about the lack of housing (let alone affordable housing!) within the Morongo Basin and we contend the proliferation of Short Term Rentals (STRs) is causing unacknowledged and unaddressed negative effects on the availability of housing. An excerpt from the current Housing Element of 2013:
Section 5.2.1 HOUSING PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY goal is to ensure the construction of an appropriate type and affordability of housing served by adequate infrastructure and community services does not occur by accident. Uncoordinated and short-term focused decisions lead to leap-frog development, inadequate infrastructure, unintended environmental impacts, and less than optimal housing design. For the County of San Bernardino to create livable communities that offer high-quality housing for residents and workforce, provide adequate water and sewer services, and a place for business investment requires steadfast planning and implementation. (emphasis added) We contend that the current STR ordinance as written and implemented is not consistent with the policies and goals of the CWP and Housing Element. This inconsistency must be reconciled within the required update to the Housing Element before the Planning Commission can recommend approval to the Board of Supervisors.
We encourage participation in this important discussion by our members and supporters by letting your voice be heard. Email comments to: [email protected]
Real-estate investors have been snatching up homes preventing everyday buyers from getting a piece of the pie. Lawmakers and HOAs want to stand in their way.
With the housing market outlook standing up against extreme volatility in financial markets, investors are all-in on single-family home investments.
Whether they're looking for long-term rentals or to make a quick flip, investors like Invitation Homes, the owner of 83,000 properties, and mom & pop operations, are making it harder for people to compete when looking to buy in their own neighborhoods. Investors bought 33% of US homes on the market in January alone, the highest percentage in at least a decade, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting, a housing research and consulting firm.
Proliferation of vacation rentals in the city of Palm Springs, California. Palm Springs Post.
The investors' push into rentals has only intensified during the pandemic as urban-dwellers sought more space and more bucolic lifestyles. But their demand has not been met with much additional supply, leading them to battle over the few available homes. Some of the investors have turned aggressive with their tactics, raising alarms from Newark, New Jersey, to Dallas and the California State Capitol.
"It feels like we are being preyed upon," Deborah Smith-Gregory, a homeowner in Newark who's been batting away cold calls from investors urging her to sell her home, told PIX11, a New York television station that described the neighborhood as "up and coming." Such experiences are leading to a wave of intervention by municipal leaders and housing advocates who fear that increased corporate ownership of their housing stock will boost housing costs and unravel close-knit communities. In Newark, Mayor Ras Baraka told PIX11 that the city was considering legislation that aimed at preventing steep rent increases, and urging the state to come up with a blanket
policy to regulate institutional ownership.
In North Carolina, a state that has seen an influx of people from the Northeast, homeowner groups are taking matters into their own hands. For example, the Whitehall Village Master Homeowners Association in Walkertown, North Carolina, is taking on investors by proposing amendments to their covenants, to insist that buyers live in the home or leave it vacant for at least 6 months before renting it out.
"They're coming in, and they're basically bullying people out with cash offers," Chase Berrier, the association's president, told The Wall Street Journal.
In the Dallas metropolitan area, another region where population is exploding, leaders are examining a limit on the number of homes investors can buy. The measure, while maybe drastic, is seen as potentially necessary given Dallas' rapid growth.
According to US Census data, Dallas' population grew 8.9% in the decade through 2020, to 1,304,379 people. At the current rate, that number will more than double with the region expected to add another 1,393,623 residents from 2020 to 2029, according to real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield.
Dallas was inspired by a bold move by the Canadian government.
In April, Canada announced an outright ban on foreign investors buying homes in the country in an effort to keep its booming housing market from overheating. It is also instituting a higher tax for those who sell their homes within a year after buying them.
Canada's housing market saw prices climb over 20% in 2021, according to NPR, while in the US they rose nearly 19% for the biggest increase in the 34 years of data measured by the S&P CoreLogic US National Home Price Index. Home prices in the Dallas area rose by 26% last year, and are outpacing the national average in the first two months of 2022, another S&P index shows.
In California, where affordability has been a nagging issue far longer than most of the nation, lawmakers are further along in their battle with investors.
Last month, Democratic assemblyman Christopher Ward introduced the California Housing Speculation Act, also known as AB 1771. The bill aims to discourage the flipping of properties by short-term investors by adding a tax on profits from sales that occur within three years of the purchase.
Ward believes the effort will give normal homebuyers the opportunity to compete against house flippers and real estate speculators who have driven up prices for everyone. "Speculators are taking gobs of tens of millions of dollars out of our community through the cumulative effect of all these transactions," Ward said in a statement. "That's not fair either because the people that are left struggling are people who get outbid 30 times trying to get into their home." But the efforts by housing advocates are getting pushback from investors who claim their money is as green as anyone else's, and from the lenders that finance both large investors and mom & pop operations.
Some critics of Ward's "flip tax" say the bill would actually harm the individual buyer. That's because the act doesn't differentiate between investor properties or owner-occupied ones, and it favors large investors who can "come in and sit on properties" over small-time house flippers, Michelle Corning, a real estate agent in Southern California told the California Globe.
What's more, the tax does nothing to solve the lack of supply, which goes to the core of soaring home prices, Lori Pfeiler, chief executive of the Building Industry Assn. of San Diego County, told the LA Times.
"While we appreciate Chris' objective, ultimately this is a supply issue," Pfeiler said. "We don't have enough homes for sale, inventory is low and anyone thinking of selling their home just won't sell their home; they'll figure out how to hold on to it."
Back in North Carolina, the efforts of the homeowners association drew a quick rebuke from the rental industry. "I don't think a homeowners association should be able to say you as a homeowner cannot rent," David Howard, the executive director of the National Rental Home Council, told The Charlotte Observer.
Regardless of what side of the argument you're on, one thing is clear: investor activity is transforming the housing market. Whether in Dallas, North Carolina, or California, attitudes about real estate investment are changing — and legislators are taking note. "Homes are places to live in," Assemblymember Ward told East County Today. "Homes help families preserve and grow their wealth. Homes aren't a quick trade on the market – and this activity unchecked affects us all."
Proposed ordinance brings expensive changes to Clark County short-term rentals
by Brett Forrest - News 3 Las Vegas
Tuesday, May 3rd 2022
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Dwight Calwhite operates a short-term rental in Clark County. He does it to earn supplemental income, but he also said it’s a passion of his. He wants to buy a second property, but with the new proposed ordinance on short-term rentals from Clark County, he said it’s essentially punishing people like him.
“I feel like this entire law as it is set up treats hosts like criminals before they even get into business,” Calwhite said. “There's already laws on the books for noise, for trash ordinances, and for them to make it practically impossible to get a license to run a business out of a home that you own.” Clark County released its draft ordinance proposal last week after months of town halls and input from the community. This comes after the Nevada legislature passed Assembly Bill 363 in 2021. AB363 required the county to regulate short-term rentals. They were operating illegally prior to the law being passed.
The county feels the new ordinance proposal is a fair balance between competing interests. The proposed laws are actually stricter than what’s required in AB 363.
For example, the state law mandates short-term rentals can’t be closer than 660 feet from each other. In Clark County, that requirement jumps to 1,000 feet.
“People feel very strongly, either for or against what's happening,” said Erik Pappa, spokesperson for Clark County. “For the county, we have no choice. The state-mandated that we move forward with this, that we regulate short-term rentals, and that's what we're doing.” The proposed law is far from a done deal. There’s another town hall scheduled for May 4 at the Windmill Library Theater at 5:30 p.m. It’s the first public meeting since the ordinance was unveiled.
Pappa said the county still welcomes public input to fine-tune what they’ve presented, but it ultimately rests on the shoulders of the Clark County Commission.
As it stands, the new ordinance will shake up the world of Clark County short-term rentals.
Each host must obtain a license and can’t operate more than one license, meaning those who run an Airbnb or VRBO from several properties will have to focus on just one.
The license itself can be pricey. For homes with three or fewer bedrooms, it’ll cost $750 annually.
Larger properties must pay $1,500.
There will also be a cap of 1% of total housing that can be designated as a short-term rental. The county couldn’t specifically say how many that means, but opponents to the new law suggest it’ll decrease available options by the thousands.
On top of that, each application requires a non-refundable $45 fee and a nonrefundable $150 inspection fee.
Hosts must also install street-facing security cameras, noise monitoring devices, and post an exterior placard displaying a complaint hotline number, maximum occupancy, and license number.
Short-term rentals will no longer be allowed in several unincorporated areas including the town of Mt.
Charleston, Moapa, Moapa Valley, Mesquite, and Bunkerville.
The laws also dictate no short-term rentals can be within 1,000 feet of each other or within 2,500 feet of a resort hotel.
Mike Jensen, who’s been operating short-term rentals for years, said the regulations are a strain and it’ll greatly affect him as he already owns more than one property. “The 1000-foot ordinance basically is going to put a lot of people out of business, or they're just gonna go underground,” said Jensen. “The people that are gonna go out of business are probably the elderly people that are doing this for a little extra spending money besides their Social Security. And I know several that are in their 60s or even older, that they're just going to give it up.” Jensen said he’s already considering selling his short-term rental because of the hot housing market and he simply doesn’t want to deal with all the new rules and regulations.
Julie Davies is a longtime educator on short-term rentals. She runs a certification program to license individuals for the business. She echoed Jensen’s opinion that these strict rules will actually lead to more illegal short-term rentals opening up and not paying the appropriate taxes and fees. “The people who will lose the most are the small business owners, the mom and pops,” said Davies.
“They won't feel like they can take the risk to come forward. It’s too much money, it's too much work and too much emotion to come forward and try to run a business if they have to gamble, gamble, gamble in order to try to get a license.”
Davies said there’s still a solution moving forward. She said North Las Vegas and Henderson have already enacted reasonable regulations and the county should emulate them. She thinks Code Enforcement will have too much trouble trying to shut down every illegal short-term rental she foresees popping up.
In terms of those who violate the new ordinance, Clark County said they plan to strictly enforce the new ordinance. It lays out fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The fines will depend on the severity of the violations. Erik Pappa with the county added there will be punishments for short-term rental sites like Airbnb and VRBO if they are also found to be violating the new laws.
The ordinance isn’t set in stone yet. There’s still a process for more public input before the county finalizes everything. Pappa doesn’t think anything will go into effect until early next year.

In response to the new ordinance, Airbnb sent the following statement:
“Clark County’s short-term rental proposal would take money out of the pockets of Las Vegas residents who rely on home sharing to supplement their income and limit accommodation options for the millions of guests who visit the City every year and help support the region’s tourism industry. Hosts on Airbnb are ready to work with County leaders on more sensible regulations that address local concerns and protect the benefits short-term rentals provide to residents and the visitor economy.”

Housing Crisis
The rise and growth of short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb, HomeAway and Flipkey has created plenty of debate amongst local governments, the hotel industry, the real estate lobby, housing activists and local residents about the impact of such rentals on the availability of affordability of long-term rental housing.
According to a recent article in the Harvard Law & Policy Review the theory goes as follows:
short-term rentals “reduces the affordable housing supply by distorting the housing market in two interconnected mechanisms. The first such mechanism is one of simple conversion: any housing unit that was previously occupied by a city resident, but is now listed on Airbnb year round, is a unit that has been removed from the rental market and has essentially been added to [the community’s] supply of hotel rooms. This leads to a real, but likely mild, increase in rents, an effect that is concentrated in affluent or gentrifying neighborhoods along the [community’s] central core. More disconcertingly, conversion reduces [the community’s] already-limited supply of affordable housing. The second mechanism is “hotelization.” So long as a property owner or leaseholder can rent out a room on Airbnb for cheaper than the price of a hotel room, while earning a substantial premium over the residential market or rentcontrolled rent, there is an overpowering incentive to list each unit in a building on Airbnb rather than rent to [local] residents, thereby creating “cottage hotels.” This decreases the supply of housing and spurs displacement, gentrification, and segregation.
While still a theory, more and more evidence is suggesting that these effects are in-fact real.
As an example, a 2016 study from the University of Massachusetts concluded that in Boston,
MA “home sharing is increasing rents by decreasing the supply of units available to potential residents [and] that a one standard deviation increase in Airbnb listings relative to the total number of housing units in a census tract is associated with an increase in asking rents of
0.4%. For those census tracts in the highest decile of Airbnb listings relative to total housing units, this increase in asking rents ranges from 1.3% to 3.1%, which equates at the citywide mean monthly asking rent to an increase of as much as $93.” This conclusion is consistent with other independent academic studies which like this recent paper published by researchers at the National Bureau of Economic Research, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California concluded that on a national basis “a 10% increase in Airbnb listings leads to a 0.42% increase in rents and a
0.76% increase in house prices. Moreover, we find that the effect of Airbnb is smaller in zipcodes with a larger share of owner-occupiers, a result consistent with absentee landlords taking their homes away from the long-term rental market and listing them on Airbnb.” Given that the short-term rental industry has grown by 800% since 2011, it is therefore not hard to see why many people are concerned about this industry’s impact on the affordability and availability of long-term rental housing. Just think about, if a 10% increase in the number of short-term rental listings was found to lead to a 0.42% increase in rents, the actual 800% increase in short-term rental listing since 2011, would be responsible for a 33.6% rent increase over that same time period! For comparison the median household income in the U.S. grew only 18.0% between 2011 and 2016.
It is also important to acknowledge that this is not just a big city problem. The study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, UCLA and the University of Southern California was based on national data and controlled for unobserved zipcode-specific, time-varying factors that could have otherwise skewed their conclusions. Said simply, their conclusion are universally applicable and also apply to in smaller communities like Madison, WI and Long Beach, CA where the debate about housing affordability and the impact of short-term rentals has taken center-stage in recent years.
To conclude, recent academic research seems to justify that citizens and local politicians have good reasons to be concerned about the impact of short-term rentals on housing affordability.
The good news is that these problems can easily be mitigated by adopting best practice regulations for short-term rentals.

Under the Assessment Law, all parcels that have special benefits conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit received by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire cost of the maintenance and operation of improvements. Only parcels that receive special benefit are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated benefit received.
The improvements provided within the District may include but are not limited to, the construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, sidewalks, trees, street lighting, park facilities, parkways, street tree lighting and appurtenant facilities. Services and maintenance include, but are not limited to, personnel, electrical energy and lease costs from utility providers, water and gas costs from utility providers, equipment, maintenance of vehicles, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of the facilities.
DISCUSSION:
The annual engineer’s report has been prepared, setting forth the District’s improvements, and the annual costs and expenses of services, operations, and maintenance of the District, and additionally, providing the assessment roll containing the Fiscal Year 2022-23 levy for each parcel within the District (“Engineer’s Report”).
SR-22-114
Approval of the two resolutions attached to this staff report would declare the City’s Council’s intention to levy the appropriate assessments, and additionally, approve the Engineer’s Report upon which said levies would be based, in accordance with the procedures set forth by the Assessment Law, for the collection of assessments to pay for the maintenance, services, and operation of all improvements and facilities within the District.

3. Assessment
City of Desert Hot Springs Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 5
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.
Some of these exceptions include:
1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.
2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.
However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).
Proposition 218 does not define the term “streets,” however, based on the opinions of the public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, it has been determined that streets include all public improvements located within the street rights-of-way. This would include median and parkway landscaping, traffic signals, safety lighting, and street lighting.
Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.
Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.
Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.
Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.
3. Assessment
City of Desert Hot Springs Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 6
Method of Apportionment
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIII D of the Constitution of the State of California, all parcels that have special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the maintenance and operation of improvements shall be identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire cost of the maintenance and operation of the improvements. Only parcels that receive direct special benefit are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated benefit received.
The primary benefits of street lighting are for the convenience, safety and protection of property, property improvements, and goods. The intensity and degree of illumination provided can have a bearing on both.
The benefits to property owners include:
1. Reduction in night accidents and attendant human misery and decrease in personal property loss.
2. Less vulnerability to criminal assault at night.
3. Promotion of business during nighttime hours.
Security and Property protection benefits include:
1. Increase evening driving safety.
2. Reduction in vandalism and other criminal acts and damage to improvements.
3. Reduction in burglaries.
All street lighting inventory is currently owned by Southern California Edison Company.
The park and parkway benefits to property owners include:
1. Increased leisure time and recreational opportunities.
2. Improved aesthetic enjoyment.
3. Availability and convenient access to five neighborhood parks.
4. Green space contributes to a stress reducing environment.
There are 13,837 assessable parcels within Zones A and B. Each of these parcels is deemed to receive the same proportional special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements within Zone A, whether improved or unimproved.
Cost Versus Assessments
Since the District was formed there have been some major capital improvement projects that have increased the number of parks and lights being maintained by the District. This, along with an assessment rate that has not increased since the District was formed, has resulted in a deficit between what the District can assess and the cost of maintaining the improvements. This deficit is estimated at over $735,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The City is proposing to ask the property owners within the boundaries of the District for an increase in the assessment, via a Proposition 218 Ballot Proceeding, in order to fully cover the cost of maintaining all of the current and future improvements within the District.
3. Assessment
City of Desert Hot Springs Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 7
The Zone A assessment is spread to each of the assessable parcels within Zones A. The Zone A assessment is equal to the assessment previously approved by LMD No. 1. Prior to increasing the actual assessment, the property owners must be provided an assessment ballot to vote on the matter of the increase. The parcels within Zone B are deemed to receive special benefit from the maintenance and operation of the improvements within Zone B. The special benefit for the improvements within Zone B is spread on the basis of the linear foot of street frontage of the parcel facing either Pierson Boulevard or Palm Drive.
The percentage change in the allowable Fiscal Year 2022-23 assessment from the allowable Fiscal Year 2021-22 assessment is as follows:
