MVK Response:
• MVK has continuously worked to minimize neighborhood impacts through operational modifications, increased participant engagement, enhanced staff oversight, and direct communication with surrounding residents and stakeholders. Leadership has provided direct contact information to community members and community groups, responded to concerns, and participated in meetings with the Desert Highland Gateway Estates community.
• At this time, MVK is not aware of any formal requests for additional meetings or engagement that have not already been addressed and welcomes continued direct communication and collaboration with neighborhood stakeholders.

While the signed agreement lists specific "Programs and Services," significant gaps in their real-world application were identified.

4. The agreement mandates employment services and a computer lab.

The committee found the computer lab is available but has "limited" staffing support. Furthermore, the kitchen, designed as a foodservice training center is not being used for that purpose.

MVK Response:
• MVK is currently expanding computer lab accessibility and operational hours while implementing IT safeguards to prevent misuse. To reduce additional costs, MVK is utilizing volunteer partnerships and community support instead of immediately expanding paid staffing.
• Additionally, MVK has already begun expanding workforce development opportunities including culinary training, landscaping, housekeeping, maintenance support, and vocational pathways.

MVK is actively exploring partnerships with culinary educators and workforce development organizations to fully utilize the commercial kitchen as a training space.

5. The contract requires coordination of behavioral health and medical services. However, the committee found that MV’s partnership with Riverside University Health is "not adequate" for the high level of mental health and substance abuse needs among residents.

MVK Response:

C – Page 1334 of 1386

Page 4 ends

• MVK has significantly expanded on-site behavioral health and medical coordination efforts over the last year despite limited dedicated clinical funding within the agreement. Current partnerships include Riverside University Health System, Desert Insight Counseling, Desert Healthcare District mobile medical and pharmacy services, psychiatric medication providers, and multiple clinical providers through Palm Springs operations.
• MVK is also expanding its partnership with Desert Insight Counseling to continue providing group workshops for participants and to explore the addition of on-site individual therapy sessions at the Navigation Center with Desert Insight providers. This would further increase access to behavioral health support in a familiar, low-barrier setting for participants who may otherwise have difficulty engaging in off-site services.
• MVK acknowledges the behavioral health and substance abuse needs within the unhoused population continue exceeding currently available resources. Expanding to daily onsite behavioral health and substance abuse counseling would require significant additional operational funding.
• Estimated annual staffing costs:
o Licensed Behavioral Health Clinician: approximately $125,000 to $160,000 including benefits
o Substance Abuse Counselor: approximately $95,000 to
$125,000 including benefits

6. Despite the requirement to keep the property in good condition, the committee found that nine housing units are currently unoccupied due to maintenance issues, including five with nonfunctioning AC units.

MVK Response:
• The originally identified maintenance issues have already been significantly reduced. The current remaining issues involve two air conditioning-related units and one sliding door repair. These concerns were previously reported to the City and originate from warranty-related repairs and vendor coordination delays. MVK maintenance staff have continued actively addressing unit repairs to minimize vacancy time and return units back into operation as quickly as possible.

Two major external factors that the original agreement did not fully anticipate:

7. Federal "Housing First" and HUD "Home Key" mandates require MV to admit individuals with monthly incomes below $1,070. This "stifles" MV’s ability to be flexible and forces them to turn away individuals who slightly exceed that threshold.

MVK Response:
• MVK appreciates acknowledgment that state and federal homeless service regulations significantly impact operational flexibility.

Housing First and HomeKey requirements directly affect participant eligibility standards and service delivery requirements tied to funding compliance.
• Additionally, HomeKey income thresholds have since changed, with the current 30% AMI threshold for a single individual now approximately $1,960 monthly. Discussions regarding possible future federal changes to Housing First-related requirements are ongoing nationally, though no final decisions have been made.

8. Local hospitals often discharge patients back to the Navigation Center who require physical assistance (walking, bathing) that MV is not equipped or staffed to provide.

MVK Response:
• MVK strongly agrees this continues to be one of the most significant operational challenges impacting homeless providers statewide.

Hospitals frequently discharge medically vulnerable individuals requiring levels of support beyond what homeless shelters were originally designed, licensed, or funded to provide.
• The Navigation Center and Early Entry Facility were not established as medical or skilled nursing facilities. Despite this, staff routinely work to support medically vulnerable participants while coordinating outside resources whenever possible.

Working Group "Verdict" on Performance

9. The authors rate the MV leadership as "committed" and "passionate" but ultimately limited by a lack of "out-of-the-box thinking" from both the contractor and the City to clear these systemic hurdles. Their primary recommendation is a total contract

C – Page 1336 of 1386

Page 6 ends

re-write to move from a focus on "activities" to a focus on "outcomes," such as specific data on transitions to permanent housing and employment.

MVK Response:
• MVK respectfully disagrees with the implication that operational innovation has not occurred. Over the last year, MVK has implemented participant house meetings, expanded feedback opportunities, strengthened behavioral health and medical partnerships, expanded workforce development planning, increased volunteer engagement, implemented Recuperative Care services, facilitated additional participant engagement and wellness workshops, increased participant engagement efforts, and modified operations at Early Entry Facility and Navigation Center to better support participant autonomy, and respond to the unique needs of unhoused individuals.

Outside of the Agreement evaluation, the Working Group provided recommendations to improve operations and oversight of the Navigation Center.

10. The committee recommended evaluating current oversight levels to determine if a dedicated City staff position is needed for homeless services.

MVK Response:
• The City previously had dedicated homeless services oversight through Roman Ruiz, which provided additional operational coordination and communication support. Since Jennifer Henning stepped into that role, MVK has experienced tremendous support, responsiveness, and collaboration in helping coordinate operational needs and strengthen communication between City staff and MVK operations.

11. Modify the current contract before July 1, 2026, to include precise performance metrics, a formal communications plan between the City and the contractor, and a clear understanding of funding responsibilities.

MVK Response:
• MVK welcomes discussions regarding updated contract
expectations, clearer performance metrics, communication structures, and funding responsibilities. Future performance

C – Page 1337 of 1386

Page 7 ends

measures should account for participant acuity, Housing First requirements, staffing shortages, behavioral health realities, and funding limitations impacting homeless service systems statewide.

12. Require Martha’s Village to provide a five-year strategic plan with specific goals, tactics, and milestones for long-term housing, the Early Entry program, and the Access Center.

MVK Response:
• MVK welcomes developing a five-year strategic plan if the City intends to maintain a long-term operational partnership with MVK.

Long-term planning would help improve staffing stability, partnership development, infrastructure planning, and operational consistency while also taking into account funding requirements, contract expectations, participant acuity, and the increasing complexity of homeless services operations.

13. Do not extend the contract’s two-year option unless the stated year-three goals are being achieved.

MVK Response:
• MVK supports accountability and measurable outcomes. Future evaluations and contract extension discussions should also take into account operational realities including participant acuity, housing shortages, behavioral health needs, staffing challenges, funding limitations, and state and federal homeless service requirements that continue impacting providers statewide.

Operational and Facility Improvements

14. Require a formal plan to address client requests for better nutritional quality, more variety, and healthier food choices.

MVK Response:
• MVK has already implemented menu modifications and
dietary accommodations when operationally feasible and
medically necessary. Concerns regarding healthier meal
options and expanded variety have previously been
discussed with the City, including the significant projected increase to food and operational costs that would result from implementing expanded meal programs under the current
funding structure.

C – Page 1338 of 1386

Page 8 ends

15. Establish a formal protocol or feedback loop for
communication between residents and staff to resolve friction points.

MVK Response:
• MVK has already implemented recurring participant house meetings, direct staff communication, conflict resolution discussions, expanded participant engagement efforts, and added suggestion boxes throughout the facilities where participants can share feedback and remain anonymous if preferred. Staff have also received trauma-informed care and communication trainings, and operational staffing restructures were implemented to improve participant interactions and overall communication.

These changes have significantly reduced complaints,
strengthened opportunities for participant feedback, and helped address friction points more proactively.

16. Create an indoor space for residents and Early Entry clients to use for socializing, exercise, wellness activities, and games.

MVK Response:
• MVK currently facilitates participant engagement and wellness activities whenever possible within the current facility layout.

However, physical space limitations within the existing facility footprint create challenges regarding permanent indoor recreational and wellness areas.
• MVK has implemented yoga and mindful meditation sessions multiple times per week, with the option of seated yoga to ensure activities remain flexible, accessible, and appropriate for participants with varying mobility levels and comfort needs.
• MVK is also actively looking to partner with a trauma-informed yoga instructor to further expand wellness programming and provide participants with additional opportunities for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and supportive mind-body practices.

17. Implement a city-wide standardized digital survey
instrument to ensure cleaner and more professional data aggregation.

MVK Response:

C – Page 1339 of 1386

Page 9 ends

• A city-wide standardized survey instrument would be a City-led initiative rather than an MVK operational function. MVK already utilizes internal participant surveys and feedback tools designed around the population being served. Current survey methods are intentionally structured to allow anonymity and accessibility, as many participants do not consistently maintain mobile devices or electronic access. Paper-based formats have proven to be the most effective and realistic method for participant engagement and feedback collection within the current population being served.

18. Ensure the facility provides fully accessible accommodations for residents with disabilities.

MVK Response:
• MVK remains committed to accommodating participants with disabilities whenever possible within the limitations of the facility infrastructure and available operational capacity. The Navigation Center and Early Entry Facility include ADA-accessible areas intended to support participant access, and the facility has a limited number of units specifically designed for accessibility needs. Staff continue doing everything reasonably possible to accommodate participants based on unit availability and facility design limitations.

Programmatic Enhancements

19. Provide daily on-site mental health and substance abuse counseling , and consider adding recuperative care services similar to those in Indio.

MVK Response:
• MVK established Palm Springs Recuperative Care services as of February 2026 to help address increasing medical and behavioral health acuity among participants. However, Recuperative Care services are tied to medical eligibility requirements, insurance authorization, and referral criteria, including IEHP eligibility. These services are not structured, licensed, or funded to operate as a hospital-level medical program or to serve all participants requiring higher levels of medical care.
• MVK is continuing to strengthen on-site health education and intervention efforts through a summer internship beginning in June 2026 with a current California State University San Marcos student

C – Page 1340 of 1386

Page 10 ends

who is pursuing a Master of Public Health degree while also working as a Health Science Educator and Licensed Vocational Nurse.

Through this internship, she will provide weekly health workshops and onsite support at the Navigation Center and Early Entry Facility focused on trauma-informed health education, coping skills, mental health, substance use support, and other wellness topics that specifically impact unhoused individuals. These workshops are intended to support proactive health education, early intervention, participant engagement, and practical skill-building in an effort to reduce unnecessary use of emergency services and support overall participant wellbeing.
• MVK is further exploring its partnership with Desert Insight Counseling to potentially bring clinicians onsite to provide individual therapy for eligible participants, with services billed through IEHP for those enrolled with that insurance carrier. This would provide an additional pathway for participants to access behavioral health support onsite, while remaining subject to insurance eligibility.

20. Establish an employment office on-site staffed by an "employment matchmaker" to connect clients with local job openings.

MVK Response:
• MVK already provides employment-related support through Navigation Center and Access Center staff assisting participants with resumes, job searches, applications, and employer connections. MVK also recently partnered with an HR professional volunteer to strengthen employment support services at no additional cost.

C – Page 1341 of 1386

Page 11 ends

21. Partner with a culinary education provider to utilize the commercial kitchen as a training center for back-of-the-house restaurant skills.

MVK Response:
• MVK welcomes this recommendation and is already actively exploring partnerships with culinary educators, workforce development programs, and community organizations to establish culinary training opportunities utilizing the commercial kitchen.

22. Expand the use of employment internship models, similar to the existing program with Palm Springs Disposal.

MVK Response:
• MVK is open to exploring expanded employment internship partnerships similar to the Palm Springs Disposal model and will begin looking into additional opportunities. However, partnerships of this nature also depend on the willingness of local businesses and employers to work with the population being served. The existing Palm Springs Disposal partnership was established with support and involvement from the City of Palm Springs, and similar partnerships would require strong community and employer collaboration.

23. Partner with the Palm Springs Animal Shelter to provide veterinary care, supplies, and temporary boarding for clients' pets.

MVK Response:
• MVK has made multiple attempts to establish partnerships related to veterinary care, pet supplies, and temporary boarding support. Due to funding limitations and staffing constraints, some organizations have indicated they have been unable to come onsite; however, MVK has also offered transportation options and coordination support to help participants access services directly at partner locations. • Additionally, Tamara Hedges, who participated on the working group committee, had also offered to help connect MVK with additional resources and potential partnerships regarding pet services. At this time, MVK has not yet received further follow-up regarding those efforts.

Access Center and Early Entry Specifics

24. Find a new location for the Access Center, noting the current site is too small and poorly located.

MVK Response:
• MVK agrees the current Access Center location presents significant operational limitations including limited space, storage issues, participant congestion, restroom limitations, outdoor shower concerns, and overall operational inefficiencies. These concerns have previously been communicated to the City and have also contributed to many of the operational complaints and challenges experienced at the Access Center.
• While MVK supports identifying a more appropriate long-term location, it is also important to recognize that relocating the program could create additional operational and funding challenges, including possible impacts to existing funding structures and service accessibility.

25. Open the Early Entry facility during the day to provide a safe, cool environment for 125+ people.

MVK Response:
• MVK welcomes discussions regarding expanded daytime operations at the Early Entry Facility. However, transitioning the facility into a daytime operational model would require substantial additional staffing, security, custodial support, utilities, participant supervision, behavioral health support, and operational funding beyond the current agreement structure.
• Any expansion of daytime access would also require coordination with neighboring businesses, nearby residential housing areas, and community stakeholders to thoughtfully address potential impacts related to increased foot traffic, surrounding undeveloped areas, and neighborhood concerns.
• Any revised jurisdictional screening expectations would need to be clearly outlined within future contractual requirements while remaining compliant with applicable funding regulations.

C – Page 1343 of 1386

Page 13 ends

26. Tighten the screening process at the Access Center to better understand which jurisdictions individuals are coming from.

MVK Response:
• MVK already implements intake and screening processes documenting participant origin and jurisdictional information whenever possible. However, depending on the funding
source, many state and county funding programs prohibit providers from excluding unsheltered individuals solely based on residency or jurisdictional status unless specifically authorized within funding agreements.
• Additionally, certain participant information requested previously by outside agencies, including law enforcement, cannot always be released due to confidentiality requirements and participant privacy protections tied to homeless services and case management operations.
• Any revised jurisdictional screening expectations would need to be clearly outlined within future contractual requirements while remaining compliant with applicable funding and confidentiality regulations.

27. Add skilled evening shift staff at the Early Entry facility who can assist with job searches and financial counseling.

MVK Response:
• MVK is open to expanding evening staffing focused on
employment assistance and financial counseling; however, doing so would require significant additional operational funding.

Currently, staffing levels are structured to support overnight shelter operations and participant supervision needs only. • Estimated annual staffing costs:
o Case Manager: approximately $58,000–$68,000
o Employment Specialist: approximately $58,000–$68,000

28. Create a dedicated space in the Early Entry facility where individuals can sleep near their pets.

C – Page 1344 of 1386

Page 14 ends

MVK Response:
• MVK has already begun modifying portions of the Early Entry operational setup to better accommodate participants near their pets while maintaining overall safety, sanitation, and operational functionality within the facility.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 24, 2026 BUSINESS & LEGISLATIVE
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5.25 OF THE CITY

OF PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING VACATION
RENTALS, AMENDING SECTION 2.50.080 REGARDING APPEALS TO

THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS BOARD, AND ADDING SECTION

3.24.085 APPLYING CALIFORNIA’S SHORT TERM RENTAL
FACILITATOR ACT OF 2025 TO THE CITY
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Special Program Compliance
SUMMARY:

On October 22, 2025, staff presented the first reading of Ordinance No. 2118, which amended Chapter 5.25 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) by removing the upcoming reduction of annual contract stays for legacy operators. At that meeting, staff also presented recommendations from the Administrative Appeals Board (AAB) and Vacation Rentals Owners and Neighbors (VRON). The City Council directed staff to return with proposed amendments for consideration and adoption.

RECOMMENDATION:

Waive the reading of text in its entirety, read by title only, and introduce for first reading an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5.25 OF THE CITY

OF PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING VACATION RENTALS, AMENDING SECTION 2.50.080 REGARDING APPEALS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS BOARD, AND ADDING SECTION 3.24.085 APPLYING CALIFORNIA’S SHORT TERM RENTAL FACILITATOR ACT OF 2025 TO THE CITY”.

BACKGROUND:

On October 22, 2025, staff presented Ordinance No. 2118, which amended Chapter 5.25 by eliminating the then-upcoming reduction of contract stays allowed annually for legacy vacation rental permit holders. At that time, staff also evaluated recommendations from the AAB and VRON to determine whether they could be implemented administratively or

City Council Staff Report
June 24, 2026 -- Page 2
Ordinance Restating Chapter 5.25 Vacation Rentals and 2.50.080 Administrative Appeals required ordinance amendments. These recommendations are included as Attachment B.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Administrative Appeals Board (AAB) Recommendations:

In June 2025, the AAB submitted recommendations for updates to the vacation rental ordinance. Staff presented its analysis to the AAB on August 13, 2025, outlining how existing policies and procedures address most recommendations.

Staff determined that all AAB recommendations may be implemented administratively, except those related to rental platforms and property management companies, which require ordinance amendments.

In 2025, the California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 346, establishing the Short-Term Rental Facilitator Act of 2025 (Government Code §50990 et seq.). The Act authorizes cities to adopt local provisions requiring rental platforms and facilitators to provide identifying information and display permit numbers.

Staff recommends incorporating these provisions into the Palm Springs Municipal Code, in order to:
 Formally adopt the Short-Term Rental Facilitator Act within Palm Springs  Require rental platforms and property managers, upon request, to provide:
 Property address (including nine-digit ZIP code)
 Assessor’s Parcel Number (if needed)
 Listing URL and limited identifying details
 Require display of City-issued permit numbers on all listings Staff believes that these additional measures will enhance enforcement, improve transparency, and support compliance without altering the existing permitting framework.

For those recommendations that can be accomplished administratively, City staff will work with the City Attorney’s Office to craft administrative regulations to implement those recommendations.

VACATION RENTAL OWNERS AND NEIGHBORS (VRON) RECOMMENDATIONS:

VRON submitted thirteen proposed modifications. Staff supports nine of these, as outlined in Attachment B. These staff-supported modifications are analyzed in Attachment B and are contained in the accompanying ordinance.

The four remaining (non-staff-supported) items are summarized below:

D – Page 1351 of 1386
City Council Staff Report
June 24, 2026 -- Page 3
Ordinance Restating Chapter 5.25 Vacation Rentals and 2.50.080 Administrative Appeals VRON Recommendation Staff Position
Eliminate requirement that all
adult occupants sign the
Statement of Rules and
Regulations, limiting signature to
the Responsible Renter.

Not recommended. Requiring acknowledgment by all adult
occupants supports enforceability and compliance. Staff is pursuing administrative measures to streamline execution through digital means.

Eliminate requirement to post the
Registration Certificate and
applicable operational conditions
on-site.

Not recommended. On-site posting requirements are
reasonably related to enforcement and public
accountability.

Expand AAB discretion in
adjudicating violations.

Not recommended. The current ordinance establishes
objective standards and enforcement criteria that ensure consistency, due process, and defensibility.

Exclude bookings associated with
declared emergencies or
evacuations from contract stay
limitations.

Not recommended. Such determinations are appropriately
addressed on a case-by-case basis to ensure consistency with public safety considerations and program integrity.

For example, the January 2025 Los Angeles fire had a
total of 23 contract stays submitted, of which seven met criteria for approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State Guidelines, because the Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a "project," as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State Guidelines. In addition, the City Council also determines this Ordinance consists of regulations intended to ensure that the incidental short term rental use of residential property remains an ancillary and secondary use of residential property in the City and thereby preserve the residential character of the City's single- family and multi-family neighborhoods as identified in the City's adopted General Plan, and its concomitant Environmental Impact Report. Thus, to the extent there is any environmental impact from the adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report for the adopted General Plan is the controlling environmental document.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

This item aligns with the following City Council Strategic Plan Broad Goal: Economic Development.

vacation rental. For purposes of this subsection (m), “in person” at the Vacation Rental or the Owner’s or Owner’s agent’s office includes live digital video conference. Video conferencing must be live, using video enabled devices by both parties and must include both real-time audio and real-time video such that both parties see each other’s faces during the meeting.

SECTION 19: This Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State Guidelines, because the Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a "project," as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State Guidelines. In addition, the City Council also determines this Ordinance consists of regulations intended to ensure that the incidental short term rental use of residential property remains an ancillary and secondary use of residential property in the City and thereby preserve the residential character of the City's single- family and multifamily neighborhoods as identified in the City's adopted General Plan, and its concomitant Environmental Impact Report. Thus, to the extent there is any environmental impact from the adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report for the adopted General Plan is the controlling environmental document.

(c) The owner shall limit overnight occupancy of the vacation rental unit to a specific number of occupants, with the maximum number of occupants as no more than two persons per bedroom within each vacation rental unit and a maximum of no more than eight persons total within the vacation rental unit, except that owner may allow up to two minor children, age 12 or under, to occupy the vacation rental in addition to the maximum number of occupants otherwise provided in this subsection. The number of bedrooms in a vacation rental shall be verified by the enforcement official using county assessor and/or city building records and/or a physical inspection of the premises, prior to the issuance of a registration certificate. The owner may also allow up to four daytime occupants in addition to the total number of guests allowed for overnight occupancy pursuant to this subsection. No more than one guest vehicle per bedroom shall be allowed for overnight occupancy for each vacation rental. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, two additional guest vehicles are allowed during daytime occupancy as defined in section 5.25.030. Advertising and/or renting one or more vacation rentals as part of a cluster or compound is prohibited Recommendation 3 – Staff Support

Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(h)(6) states that the responsible person provides a list of all guests' vehicles, including license plate numbers This recommendation was offered as, pursuant to Palam Springs Municipal Code

5.25.070(h), collection of such information is to be collected at the time the written contract is entered into. However, conflicts arise with the use of rental cars and the information not being readily available at the time of contract entry.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose the following amendment to the Ordinance:
§ 5.25.070Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions. (h) Prior to occupancy pursuant to each separate occasion of rental of a vacation rental, the owner or the owner's agent or representative shall enter into a written contract with a responsible person where: (1) the responsible person will provide the responsible person's name, age, address, and a copy of a government issued identification; (2) establishes and sets out the terms and conditions of the contract, including without limitation, occupancy limits, noise prohibitions, and vehicle parking requirements; (3) requires the responsible person to acknowledge and agree that he or she is legally responsible for compliance of all occupants of the vacation rental or their guests with all provisions of this chapter and/or the municipal code; (4) the owner or the owner's agent provides a copy of the "Good Neighbor Brochure" to the responsible person; and (5) the responsible person provides a list of all guests by name; and (6) the responsible person provides a list of all guests' vehicles, including license plate numbers. Each contract shall be maintained by the owner or the owner's agent for a minimum of four years and shall be readily available for inspection upon request of the enforcement official. A summary or abstract of the written contract, in a form approved by the enforcement official, shall be filed with the enforcement official prior to each applicable occupancy, in a manner approved by the enforcement official, and shall be posted in a conspicuous location on the vacation rental property and shall be made available on site at the request of an enforcement official.

Recommendation 4 – Supported by Staff.

Palm Springs municipal code 5.25.070(h) states that each contract shall be maintained by the owner or the owner's agent for a minimum of four years and shall be readily available for inspection upon request of the enforcement official.

This recommendation was offered with respect to the requirement as part of the written contract process, a copy of the government issued identification is obtained. The recommendation is to specifically state that the copy of the government issued identification shall be retained for a minimum of 24-hours. After consultation with the City

D – Page 1374 of 1386
Attorney and further discussion with VRON, the Ordinance will be revised to maintain the government issued identification for a minimum of thirty (30) days.

Recommendation 5 – Staff Supports
Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(k) states that trash and refuse shall not be left stored within public view, except in proper containers for the purpose of collection by the collectors and between the hours of five a.m. and eight p.m. on scheduled trash collection days. The owner of the vacation rental unit shall use reasonably prudent property ownership/management practices to ensure compliance with all the provisions of Chapter 6.04 of the Municipal Code (Waste Disposal and Diversion), and shall provide "walk-in service" or as may otherwise be approved by the enforcement official.

This recommendation was offered with respect that if a violation is found, and a citation issued, that the violation does not count towards the vacation rental certificate with respect to the three violations in a 12-month period. All Vacation Rental Certificate holders pay for the “walk-in service”
Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose the following amendment pursuant to administrative regulation dated October 4, 2018:
§ 5.25.070Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions. (k) Trash and refuse shall not be left stored within public view, except in proper containers for the purpose of collection by the collectors and between the hours of five a.m. and eight p.m. on scheduled trash collection days. The owner of the vacation rental unit shall use reasonably prudent property ownership/management practices to ensure compliance with all the provisions of Chapter 6.04 of the Municipal Code (Waste Disposal and Diversion), and shall provide "walk-in service" or as may otherwise be approved by the enforcement official. The Owner, Agent or designated Local Contact person of the Vacation Rental where the violation takes place shall be given a pre-citation or courtesy notice, and have sixty (60) minutes to cure the violation, which time shall commence upon verbal communication with an enforcement official. Any failure to cure the violation subject to this section within sixty (60) minutes will result in an issuance of an administrative citation for the violation in question.

Recommendation 6 – Staff Supports
Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(l) states that all home repairs (external and internal), garden and yard maintenance, and pool cleaning and maintenance shall not be performed between the hours of 5:00 p.m. on Friday through 8:00 a.m. on Monday, except in the case of an emergency or the occurrence of an unexpected event that reasonably

D – Page 1375 of 1386
warrants a timely or immediate response. Repairs and maintenance shall not be scheduled in advance to occur during the days and time specified in this subsection.

This recommendation was offered to have vacation rental owners adhere to the same maintenance and repair requirement defined in the city ordinances for all Palm Springs residences.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose the following amendment to the Ordinance:
§ 5.25.070Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions. (l) All home repairs (external and internal), garden and yard maintenance, and pool cleaning and maintenance shall not be performed between the hours of 5:00 p.m. on Friday through 8:00 a.m. on Monday, except in the case of an emergency or the occurrence of an unexpected event that reasonably warrants a timely or immediate response. Repairs and maintenance shall not be scheduled in advance to occur during the days and time specified in this subsection. abide by the restrictions described in Palm Springs Municipal Code 11.74.041, 11.74.042 and 8.04.220.

Recommendation 7 – Not Supported by Staff
Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(m) states that the owner or the owner's agent or representative shall meet the responsible party in person at the vacation rental or the owner's or owner's agent's office prior to, or within 24 hours of, the commencement of the occupancy and verbally explain and describe all rules and regulations applicable to the use of the property as a vacation rental and the responsibilities of the responsible party to the neighbors and the City as well as the owner. The owner shall secure the signature of the responsible party and all adult guests to a statement of rules and regulations prepared by the city manager prior to or within 24 hours of the arrival of the guest at the vacation rental.

This recommendation was offered to have only the Responsible Party to be required to sign the Statement of Rules and Regulations.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose to not amend Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(m).

Recommendation 8 – Not supported by Staff
Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(n) states that the owner of the vacation rental unit shall post a copy of the registration certificate and a copy of the conditions set forth in this section, including all rules and regulations applicable to the use of the property as a

D – Page 1376 of 1386
vacation rental, on the inside of the front door and the primary door to the backyard or in a conspicuous location near each such door.

This recommendation was offered to have such section removed since Code Compliance has registration certificate information and the guests have been given the good neighbor brochure and the rules and regulations statement document.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose not to amend Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.070(n)
Recommendation 9 – Not supported by Staff
Palm Springs Zoning Code 93.23.16C states that upon a determination by the City Manager of a third qualified violation within any 24 month period regarding the vacation rental of an Estate House, the land use permit for such vacation rental shall be subject to revocation or modification by the Planning Commission at a noticed public hearing to be held in the manner provided for in Section 94.09.00 of this Code.

This recommendation was offered due to Estate Home Vacation Rentals receiving less citations than non-estate homes. The recommendation would have the violation parameter relating to the Land-Use permit be similar to the violation parameter around the Vacation Rental Registration Certificate, meaning that 3-violations in a twelve (12) month period would subject the Land-Use permit for revocation or modification by the Planning Commission instead of 3-violations in a twenty-four (24).

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose to not amend the code currently. Further discussion is needed as this is a zoning code update.

Recommendation 10 – Staff Supports
Palm Springs Municipal Code 5.25.090(f) states that the appeal and hearing provisions of Chapter 2.50 shall apply to any revocation or suspension of a registration certificate.

This recommendation was offered related to the conditions set forth in Palm Springs Municipal Code 2.50, where as in 2.50.080(a) it states A person aggrieved by an action taken by an administrative officer of the city as provided in Section 2.50.020 may appeal the action to the board by filing with the city clerk a written notice of appeal within ten days of the action. There is concern that ten days is not sufficient time to receive notice, request a public records request and be able to submit a timely appeal. The recommendation is to increase the written notice of appeal requirement from ten days to thirty (30) days.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose the following amendment to the Ordinance:
§ 2.50.080Administrative appeals—Filing and notice procedures.

D – Page 1377 of 1386
(a) A person aggrieved by an action taken by an administrative officer of the city as provided in Section 2.50.020 may appeal the action to the board by filing with the city clerk a written notice of appeal within ten days thirty (30) days of the action.

The notice of appeal shall set forth the appellant's full name and mailing address, the specific action appealed from, the grounds for the appeal and the relief sought; and shall include payment to the city clerk of the appeal fee, as established or amended time to time by resolution of the city council.

Recommendation 11 – Staff Supports
Recommendation to review, compile and include seventeen (17) outstanding Administrative Regulations. Attachment C
Staff have reviewed the recommendations and will include the administrative regulations towards the code amendment.

Recommendation 12 – Not supported by staff
Administrative Appeals Board Oversight recommendation.

This recommendation offers concern that the AAB currently has no authority to hold an Agency/Owner’s Representative accountable when their negligence harms a VR homeowner. This has led to penalties on owners, such as lifetime bans or multi-year suspensions, caused by representative misconduct. VRON recommends granting the AAB discretion to redirect penalties and fines toward the responsible representative, while allowing homeowners to retain permits if corrective actions are taken.

Staff have reviewed the recommendations and propose not to amend the code currently. Further discussion with is needed as this will require an update to the Administrative Appeals Board Municipal Code.

Recommendation – 13 Not supported by staff
Emergency Preparedness
This recommendation offers a consideration of a modification to the Ordinance that would allow for accommodating evacuees during a time of declared emergencies or evacuations where bookings for those affected would not count towards contract limits.

Staff have reviewed this recommendation and is not recommended. Direction should be given by City Council on a case-by-case basis.
