Potential General Plan Policy Revisions to Support Hotel Uses To help highlight the importance of hotel/lodging uses in the City and how transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue is an important revenue source in the City’s budget, staff has two recommended revisions to Land Use Element policies for City Council Consideration (recommended changes underlined).
Policy LU 3-7 Hotels. Recognizing the importance of transient occupancy tax revenue to the City’s budget, encourage development of hotels in commercial areas and allow small hotels in mixed-use districts where they are consistent with the density of adjacent uses.
Policy LU 12-1 Revenue Generators. Retain and grow existing businesses and attract new businesses that can generate and diversify the City’s tax revenue, including from transient occupancy tax and other sources, and increase job opportunities to ensure the City has adequate resources for infrastructure improvements and essential City services, such as police, fire, parks, recreation, and libraries.
