Attached are the two City Staff reports and attachments on STVRs referenced in my prior email (below). These reports demonstrate the following key facts and conclusions regarding short‐term vacation rentals (STVRs) in the City of La Quinta:

1. STVRs located in the City’s Tourist Commercial zones and other areas exempt from the City’s ban on new STVR permits have a remarkably low rate of complaints as compared to STVRs in the City’s other neighborhoods.

2. The City’s ban on new STVR permits in most areas of the City has already led to a 19.4% decrease in total permits in 2021, which will reduce the TOT revenue the City receives from STVRs, making the need for STVRS in the Tourist Commercial and other exempt areas even more important.

3. The ballot measure proposed for the November 2022 election, if passed, would expedite the phasing out of STVRs in all non‐exempt areas (which generate approximately 82% of total STVR TOT revenues) and could cost the City more than $6 million in annual revenues from these STVRs.

These materials also demonstrate the substantial public benefit that will be created by allowing STVRs in the proposed Coral Mountain Resort project, because these STVRs can help replace the TOT revenue the City will be losing in the non‐ exempt areas of the City.

Thanks,
Jim

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REPORT, PREPARED PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS CODE SECTION 9212, ASSESSING THE FISCAL,

ECONOMIC, AND RELATED IMPACTS OF THE INITIATIVE MEASURE ENTITLED “PHASE-OUT AND PERMANENT BAN OF NON-HOSTED SHORT-TERM
VACATION RENTALS IN NON-EXEMPT AREAS OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA,” BY DECEMBER 31, 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report, prepared pursuant to California Elections Code section 9212, assessing the fiscal, economic, and related impacts of the initiative measure entitled “Phase-Out and Permanent Ban of Non-Hosted Short-Term Vacation Rentals in Non-Exempt Areas of the City of La Quinta,” by December 31, 2024.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 A Notice of Intention to circulate an initiative petition proposing the “Phase-Out and Permanent Ban of Non-Hosted Short-Term Vacation Rentals in Non-Exempt Areas in the City of La Quinta” (Initiative), by December 31, 2024, was filed with the City on January 12, 2022.  On March 15, 2022, as authorized and pursuant to Elections Code section 9212, the Council ordered a report to assess the fiscal, economic, and related impacts of the Initiative.
 On May 24, 2022, the City Clerk/Elections Official received the economic report, included as Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On January 12, 2022, a Notice of Intention to circulate the Initiative was filed with the City Clerk/Elections Official pursuant to Elections Code section 9202.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
229
CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
On March 15, 2022, as authorized and pursuant to Elections Code section 9212, the Council ordered a report to assess the fiscal, economic, and related impacts of the Initiative.

Staff contacted five (5) firms – Pannel Kerr Forster in Houston, TX, TXP Economic and Public Consulting in Austin, TX (TXP), Development Management Group in Palm Desert, CA, Dan Runyan Associates in Portland, OR, and Tourism Economics in Wayne, PA. TXP was selected to prepare the economic report.

On May 24, 2022, the City Clerk/Elections Official received the report, entitled “The 2021 Economic Impact of Short-Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA,” included as Attachment 1, which notes that in 2020, La Quinta accounted for approximately 17% of the total STVR direct regional lodging spending.

The report further analyzed 2021 STVR data across La Quinta and its economic impacts on the local economy, and outlines several key points, including:
 The vast majority of local STVR activity in La Quinta supports Group travel, i.e., families and friends.
 Studios and one-bedroom STVR accommodations, are excluded from the analysis, assuming this type of lodging can be accommodated by hotels; (one-bedroom lodging in La Quinta accounted for 12.2% of available room-nights, and only 5% of the total local STVR lodging revenue during 2021).
 The report takes into account that approximately 62% of the owners of permitted STVRs in La Quinta reside out of the area. For out of town owners, about 20% of total lodging revenue remains in the area to pay for management and maintenance. As a result, the total net impact of lodging revenue is reduced by about half.
 In addition to lodging spending, visitors who stay in STVRs also spend money on food and beverage, entertainment, shopping, local transportation, etc. Taken together with lodging, this direct spending injected $145.5 million into the local economy in 2021.  The direct spending above translates into a total economic impact (including ripple effects) of $203.8 million in annual spending, and just under 1,300 full-time, permanent jobs, of which up to 80% is subject to be lost due to the proposed STVR ban.
230
CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
 Assuming 2021 travel activities remained constant, the annual tax revenues would be reduced by $6.1 million:
o STVRs in permit ban areas account for approximately 80% of the $5.9 million transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenues collected by the City in 2021. Since STVRs in exempt areas would remain (or 20% of STVRs), the net annual TOT loss is estimated to be $4.7 million. o Local sales tax economic impacts are estimated at $28.8 million in Retail Trade and $42 million in food services, for a total of $70.8 million; assuming Measure G applies to all activity, the total impact is approximately $1.4 million in annual sales tax revenue loss.

ALTERNATIVES
As Council ordered this report, staff does not recommend an alternative.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 1 Summary
The popularity of short‐term vacation rentals (STRs) has surged in almost all communities in the United States, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic. STRs expand the lodging options available to travelers, allowing greater consumer choice as to the range and nature of travel accommodations. However, this growth has not come without concerns, as many in residential neighborhoods view STRs as an inappropriate commercial activity in parts of the community reserved for non‐commercial uses. In order to inform this overall discussion, TXP has been tasked with evaluating the economic impact of STRs on La Quinta.

The 2021 economic impact of STRs in La Quinta was calculated as follows. First, aggregate direct accommodations spending of visitors using STRs with at least two bedrooms totaled $116.2 million last year.1
Next, this figure was used to calculate STR
guest spending on other tourism purchases, such as entertainment and food. The result was total direct spending attributable to STRs of $203.2 million. However, much of the lodging revenue paid flows to STR operators who live outside the area. Using data on STR registration from the City, local STR lodging revenue is reduced by about half, to $58.5 million, putting the total net injection last year at $145.5 million. This injection by STR guests in La Quinta yielded a total impact in Riverside County of $203.8 million in economic activity, value‐added of $126.3 million, $47.0 million in annual earnings, 1,271 full‐time, permanent jobs, and about $6.1 million in annual City tax revenue.

STRs bring economic and fiscal benefits to La Quinta that will be lost, at least to some degree, if they are substantially reduced. By limiting legal STR operations to restricted areas some of the benefits will be retained. However, the economic impact of the transition to this narrower allowable zone of activity will be significant. Typically, bans do not eliminate unwanted STR activity, but removal of oversight and tax collection means they do eliminate most of the benefit to local taxpayers while increasing municipal costs. These unintended consequences, as well as the potential losses, should be carefully considered.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 2 Overview
The popularity of short‐term vacation rentals (STRs) has surged in almost all communities in the United States, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic. STRs expand the lodging options available to travelers, allowing greater consumer choice as to the range and nature of travel accommodations. However, this growth has not come without concerns, as many in residential neighborhoods view STRs as an inappropriate commercial activity in parts of the community reserved for non‐commercial uses. This certainly appears to be the case in La Quinta, CA, where a group has organized to propose a ballot initiative to eliminate STRs from residential neighborhoods in the city.

Entitled “Phase‐Out and Permanent Ban of Non‐Hosted Short‐Term Vacation Rentals in Non‐Exempt Areas of the City of La Quinta,” the petition is the culmination of years of evolving local STR regulations attempting to address resident concerns (typically related to noise, trash, parking, and density) while accommodating the tourist activity and associated economic and local tax revenue impacts that come with STR visitors.

In order to inform this overall discussion, TXP has been tasked with evaluating the economic impact of STRs on La Quinta. As context, a brief overview of regional tourism is provided, including data on overall tourism trends. The analysis then estimates the direct injection into the local economy from visitors who stay in STRs using information on local STR spending combined with local research on additional direct tourist spending. This information is then used as inputs into the RIMS II input‐output model of the Riverside County economy maintained by the Us Bureau of Economic Analysis (a division of the Census Bureau) to estimate the secondary economic impacts.2 TXP then
estimates the local tax revenue impacts, using the direct spending and economic impact results as the base, and concludes the report with the overall findings. .

La Quinta STR Tourism
Context
The travel and tourism industry is a foundational element of the Coachella Valley economy, as visitors spend billions annually in the region. While the COVID‐19 pandemic obviously hampered travel to the area the impact remains significant.

According to a study done by Tourism Economics for Visit Palm Springs:

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. 2 See https://apps.bea.gov/regional/rims/rimsii/
235

`
2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 3 Tourism Economics has also examined the specific regional impact of STRs in the same period. According to a separate study done for the same client:

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.

This study addresses the impact of STRs by moving the analysis forward to 2021 and narrowing the scope to STRs that are located in the City of La Quinta. In addition, the analysis is limited to STRs that offer at least two bedrooms on property.3 One issue that often arises in considering the impact of STRs is the question of substitution: if STRs were not available, would travelers simply choose to stay in hotels instead? It could be argued that hotel lodging serves the same market as studios and one‐bedrooms, but two or more bedrooms is clearly focused on group travel, which is not as easily accommodated with traditional lodging options.

Trends in the Lodging Sector
Money to spend and a desire to spend it have driven the resurgence of travel and tourism in the Greater Palm Springs area post‐pandemic. As the impact of COVID‐19 has receded, overall hotel occupancy has returned to close to pre‐pandemic levels.

Meanwhile, lodging revenue is surging, driven by a combination of demand (including capacity to pay) and inflation. Most other financial measures track the trend in total lodging revenue, as revenue per available room (RevPAR) and the average daily rate were above pre‐pandemic levels in February. On the workforce side, the local accommodation job base has yet to fully recover, though there likely are other factors (such as declining labor force participation) at work. The impact of the pandemic obviously was severe, but recent indicators suggest that local travel activity (at least as of February 2022) was largely back to pre‐pandemic levels. 3 Note: The proposed permit ban area does not include any meaningful number of studio/one‐bedroom units.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 6 Short Term Rentals in La Quinta
As previously indicated, vacation rental properties have been part of the accommodations market for decades in some of California’s most popular tourism destinations, including La Quinta. When evaluating the economic impact, the focus should be on net new activity – in other words, activity that would not otherwise occur in La Quinta/Riverside County absent STRs. As discussed above, narrowing the analysis to how much was spent overall by visitors who stay in STRs that offer at least two bedrooms on property advances this goal and is a reasonable proxy; while it is true that some intended to visit and stay in a property that offered 2+ bedrooms would come anyway if that option were not available, it is also true that some visitors who came and stayed in a studio/one‐bedroom STR would not have chosen another lodging option absent STR availability.

Table 1: Direct STR 2‐Bedroom+ Visitor Indicators in La Quinta Available Room‐Nights Room‐Nights Gross Revenues RevPAN 2019 2,339,419 178,880 $71,198,197 $398.02
2020 2,076,519 210,676 $92,410,922 $438.64
2021 1,973,016 223,598 $116,166,717 $519.53
Sources: AllTheRooms (https://www.alltherooms.com/analytics); TXP, Inc. Note: “Room‐nights” in this context refers to the number of bedrooms available, eg, a 3‐bedroom property would have 3 room‐nights available for a given date.

Economic Impact Calculations
The 2021 economic impact of STRs in La Quinta was calculated as follows. First, aggregate direct accommodations spending of visitors using STRs with at least two bedrooms totaled $116.2 million being spent last year.4 Next, this spending figure was
used as the basis of calculating the STR guest spending on other tourism purchase categories, such as entertainment and food.5 In other words, for every dollar spent on lodging at an STR, a traveler might spend a slightly greater aggregate amount on food and beverage. The result was total direct spending attributable to STRs of $203.2 million last year.

All visitor STR lodging spending does not enter the local economy, as the City of La Quinta reports that 62 percent of the permitted STRs in the community are registered to those who live outside the area. Given this, the assumption is that only the remaining 38 percent (reflecting local ownership) remains in the local economy. 4 Data was provided by AllTheRooms. 5
TXP typically uses data from the Tourism Satellite Accounts produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as the basis of this ancillary direct spending estimate. However, Tourism Economics published 2020 estimates of STR related ancillary spending in the local market, which reflects, at least in part, local primary research. These ratios likely are more attuned to the situation locally and are consistent with findings elsewhere. 239

`
2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 7 However, even those operators who reside outside the area must service and maintain the property, which is assumed to cost the equivalent of 20 percent of total lodging revenue (to cover costs such as property management, repairs, compliance/overhead, and capital improvements). The net impact is that the $116.2 million lodging figure is reduced by about half ($57.7 million), to $58.5 million, putting the total direct injection into the local economy at $145.5 million ($203.2 million minus $57.7 million).

Figure 5: 2021 Estimated Direct STR Visitor Spending by Category ($millions) Source: Tourism Economics, DK Shiflett, TXP, Inc.

To put these figures in context, AllTheRooms reports La Quinta STR direct spending of $95.1 million during 2020 (including studios/one‐bedrooms). Tourism Economics reported total STR visitor spending in the region that same year of $564 million, meaning La Quinta accounts for just under 17 percent of the regional total. This direct spending was used to estimate the ripple effects, i.e., the induced and indirect impacts, with the total economic impact the combination of all three.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 8 Economic Impact Methodology
The second step in the process is to translate the direct impact into the total economic impact through an input‐output model of the Riverside County economy that allows measurement of the secondary, or “ripple” effects. Economists use a number of statistics to describe regional economic activity. Four common measures are:
 Output (also known as Economic Activity and equivalent to top‐line revenue), which describes total economic activity and is equivalent to a firm’s gross sales or top‐line;
 Value Added which equals gross output of an industry or a sector less its intermediate inputs or purchases from other firms used in the production process;
 Labor Income which corresponds to wages and benefits; and  Employment which refers to jobs that have been created in the local economy.

The economic impacts extend beyond the direct activity outlined above.  In an input‐ output analysis of new economic activity, it is useful to distinguish three types of expenditure effects: direct, indirect, and induced.
 Direct effects are production changes associated with the immediate effects or final demand changes.  The payments made by a visitor to a STR operator or taxi driver are examples of a direct effect.
 Indirect effects are production changes in backward‐linked industries caused by the changing input needs of directly affected industries – typically, additional purchases to produce additional output.  Satisfying the demand for an overnight stay will require the STR operator to purchase additional cleaning supplies and services, for example, and the taxi driver will have to replace the gasoline consumed during the trip from the airport.  These downstream purchases affect the economic status of other local merchants and workers.  Induced effects are the changes in regional household spending patterns caused by changes in household income generated from the direct and indirect effects.  Both the STR operator and taxi driver experience increased income from the visitor’s stay, for example, as do the cleaning supplies outlet and the gas station proprietor.  Induced effects capture the way in which this increased income is spent in the local economy.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 9 Economic Impact Results
The direct spending by STR guests in La Quinta during 2021 yielded a total impact in Riverside County of $203.8 million in economic activity, value‐added of just over $126 million, $47.0 million in annual earnings, and about 1,271 full‐time, permanent jobs. It should be noted that these results are reported by county since visitors who come to stay at a STR in La Quinta likely will spend money elsewhere in the region; by the same token, some workers employed at La Quinta‐based establishments may live in other local communities. However, most non‐accommodation spending usually occurs near where visitors are staying, which suggests largely within the city limits of La Quinta.

The table that follows details the total impacts detailed by industry sector. As would be expected, the lion’s share of the activity tends to be found in consumer‐driven segments of the economy such as food services, retail trade, and arts & entertainment.

Of note is the fact that applicable direct STR lodging spending is allocated to the property management/real estate sector, rather than the accommodations sector, since revenue flows to private homeowners.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 10 Tax Revenue Impact
Further benefits accrue to state and local governments in the form of taxes assessed on direct spending by STR guests, as well as revenues generated by the ripple effects of that spending. Tourism tends to generate a high proportion of tax revenue compared to other industries. Most goods and services purchased by visitors are taxed, and many at a higher rate than other goods. There are three main areas where the City of La Quinta realizes tax revenue from STR activity:
property taxes, lodging taxes, and sales taxes.  Taxes on real property will be assessed independent (at least in the short‐term) of usage, meaning the owner of a home will have to pay property taxes whether it is being occupied as a residence or used as an STR. In a time of historically low interest rates and limited housing supply, there is no indication that homes being used as STRs appraise at a higher level for tax purposes than comparable properties that are occupied as residences.  This situation could change as interest rates rise and supply increases (which combined would tend to lower residential property values) but the conservative approach is to ascribe no new net property tax revenue to STRs.

The City of La Quinta reports Transient Occupancy Tax related to STRs for 2021 at $5.9 million, which, at a ten percent tax rate, implies STR lodging revenue of about $59 million. This is the current total TOT collected. However, the City reports units in areas that fall under the proposed ban represent 80 percent of current revenue. The assumption, therefore, is that 20 percent would remain, putting the net annual TOT loss $4.7 million.

Local sales tax is assessed at one percent on most transactions involving tangible goods (with exceptions made for items such as groceries for home consumption) and most services untaxed, with Measure G adding an additional one percent The economic impact results show top‐line revenue (output) impacts of $28.8 million in Retail Trade and $42.0 million in Food Services, for a total of $70.8 million.

Assuming the local sales tax rate applies to all of that activity, the impact is just over $1.4 million in annual sales tax revenue, putting the total potential annual loss at $6.1 million.

2021 Economic Impact of Short‐Term Rentals in La Quinta, CA | Spring 2022 11 Conclusions
STRs have been an important (and, as measured by dollars, growing) part of La Quinta’s tourism industry, especially given its role as a smaller market that caters to leisure travelers. Group travel is a significant component of the broader leisure category and comprises the vast majority of local STR activity in La Quinta, as studio/one‐bedroom STRs accounted for only 12.2 percent of the room‐nights and 5.0 percent of the total local STR lodging revenue during 2021. As this data indicates, STRs in La Quinta serve a specific market ‐ the casual leisure group traveler. This traveler typically is interested in lodging options not fully satisfied by more traditional choices, a point especially emphasized during the pandemic. As a result, a region’s overall travel and tourism industry activity, and the resulting local economic impact, today more than ever is increased by including STRs in the available lodging options.

That having been said, benefits are maximized by appropriately addressing concerns.

Tourism Economics put it well in their study of regional STRs:

By monitoring the visitor economy and STR 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 true for municipalities in the Coachella Valley, as the visitor economy has been severely affected by the COVID‐19 pandemic, and as STRs are increasingly utilized by visitors to the region.

In sum, STRs bring economic and fiscal benefits to La Quinta that will be lost, at least to some degree, if they are substantially reduced. By limiting legal STR operations to restricted areas such as those proposed in the petition some of the benefits will be retained. However, the economic impact of the transition to this narrower allowable zone of activity will be significant, at least until new product can be brought to market to replace what has been removed via the regulatory ban. Moreover, bans typically do not eliminate unwanted STR activity, but removal of oversight and tax collection means they do eliminate most of the benefit to local taxpayers while increasing municipal costs. These unintended consequences, as well as the potential losses, should be carefully considered. 244

Variables affecting the final amount include the number of jurisdictions that participate, the final number of registered voters receiving pamphlets, the number of measures added to the pamphlet, providing vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters, and increases to postage, paper, gas, vendor, and staff costs.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On January 12, 2022, a Notice of Intention to circulate the Initiative was filed with the City Clerk/Elections Official pursuant to Elections Code section 9202.

On January 27, 2022, the City Attorney prepared an official ballot title and summary for the Initiative for use by the proponents for publication and circulation of a petition, which was provided to the proponents by the City Clerk/Elections Official on the same day, in accordance with Elections Code section 9203.

On February 2, 2022, the proponents filed with the City Clerk/Elections Official the publication affidavit as required by Elections Code section 9206 and began circulating the petition.

On February 2, 2022, the City Clerk/Elections Official contacted the ROV and determined the number of registered voters in the City of La Quinta was 24,487; and as of the ROV’s last report to the Secretary of State (SoS) pursuant to Elections Code section 2187, dated January 13, 2022, and in effect on February 2, 2022, the number of registered voters in the City of La Quinta was 24,392.

The Initiative petition must be signed by not less than 10% of the registered voters in the City in order to qualify for the ballot (Elections Code section 9215).

On April 21, 2022, the proponents filed the petition with the City Clerk/Elections Official pursuant to Elections Code section 9210, which was submitted to the ROV on April 26, 2022, for full signature verification (Elections Code section 9211).

The results of the signature verification conducted by the ROV established that all of the 3,667 signatures submitted on the petition were examined, of which 3,244 were found to be sufficient, which is in excess of the minimum number of signatures required to qualify the Initiative to be placed on the ballot at a regular election pursuant to Elections Code sections 9215 and 1405; and on June 3, 2022, the ROV issued the Certificate of Sufficiency.

In accordance with Elections Code sections 9211 and 9114, if the petition is found sufficient, the City Clerk/Elections Official shall certify the results of the examination to the City Council at the next regular meeting, scheduled for June 7, 2022.

Arguments must be 300 words or less, and rebuttals must be 250 words or less. Because the General Municipal Election will be consolidated with the Statewide General Election, the ROV has provided the following deadlines by which arguments and rebuttals are due, listed in the ROV’s General Municipal Election Calendar – November 8, 2022, included as Attachment 1:
• August 22, 2022 – last day to file arguments

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 1, 2022

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL PROGRAM 2021 CHARACTERISTICS, COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OVERVIEW; CURRENT AND FUTURE OBJECTIVES AND INITIATIVES; AND CITIZENS’ MEASURE INITIATIVE UPDATE

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the Short-Term Vacation Rental program 2021 characteristics, compliance and enforcement overview; current and future objectives and initiatives; and citizens’ measure initiative update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 On May 20, 2021, Section 3.25.055 of the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) established a permanent ban on the issuance of new short-term vacation rental (STVR) permits in residential areas (Permit Ban), unless the property is located within an “exempt” area depicted on the map in Attachment 1.  New permits have not been issued outside of exempt areas since August 4, 2020; existing permit-holders in Permit Ban areas may renew permits, but permits cannot be transferred.
 Throughout 2021, the number of permits and STVR density in Permit Ban areas declined by 19.38% due to the Permit Ban combined with attrition related to home sales and non-renewals.
 A citizens’ initiative petition is currently being circulated to phase-out and permanently ban non-hosted STVRs in non-exempt areas by January 1, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT – None

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new STVR permits on August 4, 2020 via Executive Order No. 10, and extended it in succeeding amendments.

Section 3.25.055 of the LQMC established a permanent Permit Ban on the issuance of new STVR permits in residential areas (Permit Ban areas) effective May 20, 2021. Permit-holders may renew existing permits, but permits cannot be transferred.

STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1
149 Click Here to Return to Agenda
The issuance of new STVR permits is banned in Permit Ban areas, and no new permits have been issued since August 4, 2020. New permits continue to be issued in a few select “Exempt Areas” zoned for tourist commercial, village commercial, and communities expressly developed to allow STVRs, as depicted on the map in Attachment 1.

In 2021, the City began reporting enhanced analytics related to the STVR program.

A summary report of the STVR program characteristics, STVR permits and density decline, and increased compliance was presented to Council on December 7, 2021, and encompassed the first three quarters of 2021.

STVR Program Characteristics – December 2021
The City’s STVR program consisted of 1,165 active permits as of December 2021.

Table 1 below lists the number of STVR permits for each area along with the total number of approved parcels for 2021. The City’s total STVR permits have gradually declined each month due to the Permit Ban combined with attrition related to home sales and non-renewals.

Table 1
Within the residential Permit Ban areas, as of December 2021, active STVR permits have collectively declined 19.38% (from 1,037 to 836) since January 2021:

Permit Ban Area Permits Density % Change since Jan ‘21

STVR Program Compliance Overview
The City’s STVR program consists of several interdependent activities such as permitting, licensing, tax collection, and compliance. This section of the Staff Report focuses on specific compliance functions, which include managing complaints, conducting investigations, and enforcement (violations, citations, and suspensions).

On January 15, 2021, the City implemented several code changes to enhance the STVR program’s compliance tools and increase fines. Subsequently overall compliance has increased while disturbance complaints have decreased.

STVR compliance activities are separated into one of two categories:
 Disturbance – the majority of disturbance compliance activities are due to noise, generally caused by large events or gatherings, children running/screaming/laughing, popping balloons, construction, slamming doors, etc. Other complaints include excessive parking; bright lights; trash; unsecured pool access; unmaintained yard, etc.
 Administrative – the overwhelming majority of administrative compliance matters are related to operating/advertising without a STVR permit or business license, or failure to display STVR permit on listings. Others include incorrect or missing occupancy limit advertised on listings; failure to report/remit transient occupancy tax, etc.

Figures 6 and 7 below, depict citywide STVR complaints throughout 2021. Of note:
 Complaints peaked at 348 in Q-2 (April-June) and steadily declined by 75.57% to a total of 85 complaints in Q-4 (October-December).
 Unpermitted complaints became a relative majority of complaints in the 2nd half of 2021:

Q-1 Q-2 Q-3 Q-4
Permitted STVRs 59.3% 53.4% 40.1% 44.7%
Unpermitted STVRs 40.7% 46.6% 59.9% 55.3%
o Throughout Q-1 and Q-2, 41% of complaints were for unpermitted properties.
o Throughout Q-3 and Q-4, 60% of complaints were for unpermitted properties.
 Citywide complaints declined significantly in the 2nd half of 2021:
o Between Q-2 and Q-3, excluding one-time submission of 145 vendor generated complaints in July, the remaining 149 community/City-generated complaints reflect a 57% decrease in complaints between the Q-2 and Q-3. o Using the same assumption (excluding the one-time July submission), complaints decreased an additional 42.9% between the Q-3 and Q-4. 153 Click Here to Return to Agenda

Taxes, Fees, and STVR Program Costs
Table 2 provides an overview of annual STVR program revenues between 2019- 2021. Of note:
 Despite declining STVR permits, TOT revenues continued to increase in 2021.  Citation Fine collections spiked 2020-21 in correlation with enhanced enforcement tools but are expected to decrease in 2022 as overall compliance increases.
 Permit/licensing fees and fine collections were sufficient to cover STVR program operational costs in 2021 and are projected to be sufficient for 2022. * Citation Fine Collections revenue list collections current as of 1/25/2022 Table 2
Table 3 depicts TOT revenues for each area for the 2nd half of 2021:
 Permit Ban areas generated 82.65% of STVR TOT revenues ($2,341,271.09).

 Exempt areas generated 17.35% of STVR TOT revenues ($491,452.96). *TOT revenue list collections current as of February 2022 Table 3

Citizens’ Initiative Petition
On January 12, 2022, a citizens’ intent to circulate a petition was filed with the City, proposing an ordinance to amend the La Quinta Municipal Code (Code) to phase-out and permanently ban non-hosted STVRs in non-exempt areas by January 1, 2025. To date, all filings have been timely submitted, and the proponents have 180 days from January 27, 2022, to obtain the requisite number of signatures (10% of the registered voters) to qualify the proposed measure initiative for the ballot.

Pursuant to California Elections Code § 9212, during the circulation of the petition, the City Council may refer the proposed measure initiative to a city agency or agencies to prepare a report evaluating its potential impacts.

Based on the nature of the measure initiative, Staff submits the following report areas for consideration:
 Fiscal impact: projected impact to TOT and STVR program management costs.  Projected economic impact:
 Visitor spending
 Personal income
 Employment
 Local tax revenues
 Survey of outcomes in jurisdictions in which STVRs have been banned, actively regulated, or remain unregulated:
 Property values
 Illicit or “black market” STVRs
 Residential development
 Housing availability and rents
 Survey(s) to understand the demographics and/or sentiment of impacted business owners, operators, and stakeholders.

Staff seeks directions if the report should be contemplated at this time, and if so, the scope of the report’s criteria and preferred timeline.
