Attn: Blake Michaelsen
Mr. Michaelsen,
The graduating Class of 2026 desires to engage in the annual graduate street painting activity. In an effort to maintain safety and control, we are requesting a street closure during the activity (in the past, it has been done in the middle of the night without supervision).
We have planned the activity for Monday, May 11, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. The activity will be supervised and controlled. We are requesting that the street in front of the high school (Oak Street/Willow Street connection) be closed off with barricades for student and community member safety at approximately 4:30 PM on that day, and then reopened later that evening once the painting has dried.
Please let me know if there is anything else necessary to allow this activity to occur. I am available to speak about processes and plans to ensure we are all on the same page. Please reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Jacob Mekeel
Superintendent/Principal

22 RESOLUTION PC 2026-01
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DUNSMUIR RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AMEND CHAPTER 17 OF THE
DUNSMUIR MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING A SAFEGUARD LIMITATION ON
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS PERMITTED IN THE CITY WHEREAS, the City of Dunsmuir regulates short-term rentals through Chapter 17.100 of the Dunsmuir Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, every entity doing business within City limits (including operators of shortterm rentals) must have a valid business license; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed amendments and considered all testimony and evidence presented; and WHEREAS, the recommended percentage limit of 7.5 percent of the total evaluated housing stock, as identified in the latest adopted Housing Element, would not impact existing permit holders; and
WHEREAS, the Sixth Cycle Housing Element and associated community outreach identified housing availability and affordability as significant concerns among residents of the City of Dunsmuir, including concerns related to the limited availability of rental housing and the potential conversion of residential units to short-term or vacation rental use;and
WHEREAS, short-term rentals represent housing units that may otherwise be available for long-term occupancy; and
WHEREAS, as of 2025 the City of Dunsmuir has approximately 1,090 housing units and 78 permitted short-term rentals, representing approximately 7.2 percent of the City's housing stock; and
WHEREAS, establishing a limitation equal to 7 .5 percent of the City's housing stock would allow a modest number of additional short-term rental permits while establishing a safeguard intended to preserve the City's limited housing supply; and WHEREAS, the proposed percentage-based limitation would allow the total number of permitted short-term rentals to adjust proportionally as additional housing units are developed within the City; and
WHEREAS, existing legally permitted short-term rentals would not be affected by the proposed limitation; and
23 WHEREAS, it is the explicit goal of the Planning Commission and City Council, as expressed in the Housing Element and General Plan of the City, to ensure the availability of a variety of housing types and to conserve, rehabilitate, and enhance the condition of the existing housing stock and residential neighborhoods, among additional goals to facilitate accessible and affordable housing in the City; and WHEREAS, establishing a safeguard limitation on the number of short-term rental permits helps balance the economic benefits of tourism with the need to preserve housing availability for residents; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments provide a balanced regulatory framework that supports the City's tourism economy while addressing community concerns regarding housing availability and neighborhood character; and
WHEREAS, for these reasons, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed amendments are consistent with and further the goals and policies of the City of Dunsmuir General Plan and Sixth Cycle Housing Element; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council take action on amending chapter 17 of Dunsmuir municipal code to include a percentage limit of the overall housing stock on short term rentals (STR's) permitted in the city to no more than 7.5%
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED that the foregoing Resolution PC 2026-01 was duly adopted on a motion by Commissioner Thomure and seconded by Commissioner Michasel Sanchez at a regular meeting of the City of Dunsmuir Planning Commission held on the 11 th day of March, 2026, by the following vote:

Wendy Pe ins, City Clerk Craig Kay, Chair
Dunsmuir Planning Commission
24 Mayor Lucchesi and Members of the City Council,
We are writing regarding the recent recommendation to establish a cap on short-term rentals in Dunsmuir.
As residents and property owners in this community, we were concerned to see short-term rentals framed in the Planning Commission’s resolution as something that needs to be “contained.” That wording suggests STRs are harmful or problematic when in reality they are an established and productive part of Dunsmuir’s tourism economy, even something to celebrate and be proud of.
Our experience with our own property illustrates this. The over 100 year old home that is now our short-term rental was previously rented as a long-term rental and was repeatedly trashed by renters and consistently lost money.
We invested heavily to repair and improve this historic property, hiring local contractors, workers, and purchasing materials and supplies from local businesses. Converting the property to a short-term rental allowed us to financially restore and maintain the home while also contributing to the local economy.
Today that property contributes 12% of its annual revenue to the City through Transient Occupancy Taxes, and it brings visitors to Dunsmuir who shop in our stores, eat in our restaurants, and fill their cars at our gas stations.
Short-term rentals and us owners are not simply housing units on a spreadsheet. We are part of the visitor economy that supports many small businesses in our town.
For that reason, we were concerned that the materials presented to the Planning Commission did not demonstrate that short-term rentals are causing measurable harm to housing availability in Dunsmuir. The data presented in the report shows relatively modest growth over several years and does not include evidence of displacement, loss of long-term rentals, or other impacts that would justify limiting this sector of the local economy.
At the same time, it is widely known that Dunsmuir has a number of vacant or unoccupied homes that sit empty for much of the year. If housing availability is truly a concern, we encourage the Council to revisit an idea that has been discussed in the past but ultimately set aside: an ordinance addressing vacant or unoccupied residences.
Encouraging the productive use of existing housing stock could address housing availability concerns more directly than limiting short-term rentals that generate considerable revenue to both the owners and the City.
We would also encourage the Council to consider policies that make it easier and less expensive for homeowners to establish accessory dwelling units. Expanding the housing supply through additional units would be a constructive way to address housing concerns while allowing property owners to continue contributing to the local economy.
Given the importance of short-term rentals to the local economy and the limited evidence presented regarding their impact on housing, we respectfully urge the Council not to adopt a cap on short-term rentals at this time.
Instead, we encourage the Council to study the issue further and explore policy options that address housing availability without discouraging the tourism activity that supports so many businesses and residents in Dunsmuir.
In a town as small as ours, most of us know each other and share the same goal of seeing Dunsmuir thrive. We hope the Council will carefully consider the role that short-term rentals play in supporting our local economy as you evaluate this proposal.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Dena Marlatt
and
Leslie Wilde
