2. The total number of vacation home rental licenses within the City of Twentynine Palms that any one person, persons, or business entity with financial interest can own is limited to five (5).
3. The required minimum stay was reduced from two days to one day.

The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on April 5, 2022 to consider changes to Section
19.41 of the Development Code, Vacation Home Rental after conducting a Study Session on March 1, Page 97 of 181 2022. The Commissioners voted 2-1 to approve the changes proposed, but because a majority of the Planning Commission did not approve the changes (two Commissioners were not present), the changes come before the City Council without a recommendation.
The City Council established an Ad Hoc Committee to review the existing regulations governing vacation home rentals (Section 19.41 of the Development Code) and make recommendations for changes. The seven member committee consisted of 2 Councilpersons, 2 Planning Commissioners, and 3 community members.
The committee met nine times over five months to review the existing ordinance:
1. September 10, 2021, Friday
2. September 17, 2021, Friday
3. October 1, 2021, Friday
4. October 21, 2021, Friday
5. October 29, 2021. Friday
6. November 5, 2021 Friday
7. December 3, 2021 Friday
8. January 21, 2022 (Webinar) Friday
9. January 31, 2022 (Webinar) Monday
The changes proposed to the Code include recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee as reviewed and modified by the Planning Commission. The changes have been reviewed by the City Attorney. The changes are presented in track changes mode in Microsoft Word of the attached document. The changes can be classified as major and other changes.
Major Changes
1. Overall cap on the number of vacation home rental licenses. The revised Ordinance places a cap on the overall number of licensed vacation home rentals within the City. The cap is established at 12% (recommended by the planning commission, but NOT formally approved) of detached, single-family houses. Presently, the City has 5,833 houses (2020 Census). If the 36 houses on the Marine Corps base are removed (since they cannot be rented), that leaves 5,797 houses of which 12% is 695 houses. This number of houses would be adjusted when new Census data is available. As of March 29, the City had 240 issued licenses, 129 pending licenses, and 50 closed licenses.
2. Fines have been increased.
A separate and increased amount has been established for disturbance and safety violations:
a.For the first violation within any 12-month period, the penalty shall be $500.00. b.For a second violation within any 12-month period, the penalty shall be $1,000. c.For a third violation within any 12-month period, the penalty shall range be $2,000.
A separate and increased amount has been established for operating a vacation home rental without a license:
a.For the first violation, a warning to the Owner shall be issued. b.For a second violation, the penalty shall be $2,500.
c.For a third violation, the penalty shall be $5,000, followed by a fine of $5,000 per day if rental operations do not cease.
Other procedural and minor violations would be treated like other violations in the Development Code.
3. The Community Development Director has been given the authority to suspend a vacation home rental license based upon the severity of the violations. The owner can appeal this decision to the Planning Commission at a Public Hearing.
Other Changes
1. Language concerning signage on a vacation home rental property was deleted as it was seen as duplicative of the requirements of the sign code, Section 19.88: Signs.
2. The language on animals was deleted as those regulations are covered under the Section
19.102: Animal Keeping of the Development Code.
3. The language concerning parking of vehicles on-site was modified to specify overnight parking.
4. A new requirement was added to require that a vacation home rental is to be rented for at least one day in a year in order to for the license to remain active.
5. A new requirement was added to require a noise mitigation plan.
6. A new requirement was added to require each owner or agent to attend a class (live or virtual) on how to be a responsible vacation home rental host.
7. A new requirement was added to perform a safety and compliance inspection of the house every three years.
8. A clarification was made to limit the number of vehicles parking on-site to the on-site parking spaces available.
9. Definitions were added to define Procedural and Nuisance Violation, Disturbance and Safety Violations, and a Noise Mitigation Plan.
10. The terms "maintain residential character" was stricken since it could not be objectively defined (recommended by the Planning Commission but NOT formally approved).
11. The term "tenant" was changed to "guests".
12. The term "permit" was changed to "license".
13. Staff added a requirement to provide a floor plan with the rooms labeled.
Items suggest by the Ad Hoc Committee that were not included in the Planning Commission's recommendation (recommended but, NOT formally approved) include:
1. A minimum of a one night rental within a year for the license to remain active. A majority of the Planning Commission opted to maintain the current minimum of a two night rental.
2. A limit on the number of VHRs a person or entity could own. A majority of the Planning Commission opted not to include this limitation. The following data represents owners that own multiple VHRs as of 1/24/2022:
• 28 owners with multiple VHR license (2 with 4 VHRs, 3 with 3 VHRs, and the rest are 2 with 2 VHRs)
• 9 of those have ADUs on the same parcel
• 9 VHRs are owned by LLCs
• 3 are owned by corporations
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Pursuant to the State Guidelines to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed zoning text amendment has been reviewed for its potential to impact the environment. The adoption of the amendment is an activity that has the potential for only minimal impacts upon the environment and, therefore, pursuant to Section 15305 of the State Guidelines to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act, a minor alteration in land use limitations is Categorically Exempt from further environmental review.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose to:
1. Request revisions from Staff and postpone to a date certain.
2. Not adopt the revised Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this amended Ordinance will increase the costs of administering vacation home rentals within the City. These costs could be off-set by increased fees for VHR licenses.

A. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish the regulations governing the use of a residential dwelling unit as a vacation home rental, as defined herein.

B. Prior to the adoption of the provisions contained in this Chapter, there were no provisions in the City’s Development Code or the County’s applicable Land Use Regulations that identified or allowed the establishment of a “vacation home rental” as a legally permitlicenseted land use. Accordingly, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to identify or allow an existing use to be classified or considered a legal nonconforming vacation home rental land use subject to the provisions and allowances of Chapter 19.142 (Nonconforming Buildings and Uses).

City of Twentynine Palms VHR Committee –Draft Amended Vacation Home Rental Ordinance - 1/24/2022 - page 9
1. For the first violation within any 12-month period, the penalty shall be $500.00. range from a notice of violation to a fine not to exceed $250.00.

Violations will be categorized as follows:
Priority Violations (violations that will require an immediate higher fine.) Procedural Violations: This would be a violation of the City’s rules regarding the application process along with signage placement. These types of violations would be renting the VHR without first being issued a license, advertising a VHR on any short term rental platform prior to license issuance. This type of violation does not typically disturb the public at large but goes against the City’s policies.
Disturbance Violation: These would be unattended trash or trash cans, verified noise violations, disorderly behavior, amplified music, loud parties, etc.
Safety Violations: Any violation that endangers the occupants of the VHR or the surrounding area and residents. Examples would be overcrowding a VHR. Parking in a manner that constricts a roadway, untended fires, fireworks or any other activity that could potentially negatively impact the safety and well being of tenants or members of the community.
Disturbance and Safety Violations are punitive, include operating without a permit. These violations count toward “three strikes and you are out” or toward cancelling a permit in the event of a third violation.
C. In lieu of revocation or fines as set forth above, the Planning Commission Community Development Director, at its his/her sole discretion, and based upon the severity of the violations proven at an advertised revocation hearing in conformance to Section 19.28.160 (Revocation or Modification), may suspend the Vacation Home Rental Permit and the associated right to use a property as a vacation home rental for a specified period, not to exceed 12 months.

General Fund Budget Revisions
FY 2022-23
BACKGROUND:
The City Manager and Finance Director are presenting the preliminary second year budget revisions for the General Fund. FY 2022-23 is the second year of the two-year budget for both the General Fund and Special Funds. The proposed budget revisions for Special Funds will be presented to the City Council on June 14th for review and approval. Prior to the adoption of the budget revisions, a Public Hearing will be scheduled on June 14th. Council is required to approve the revisions before the beginning of the new Fiscal Year which begins July 1, 2022. The City’s revenue revisions were updated using the latest estimates from San Bernardino County (Property Tax), HDL (Sales Tax), and local trends (Transient Occupancy Tax – TOT). TOT trends are the most difficult to predict, primarily due to the growth in Vacation Home Rentals verses the potential of a recession. The preliminary expenditure revisions were developed by utilizing historical spending by department, with input and review by the department heads, direction from the City Council during Strategic Planning, and the City Council budget committee (Mayor Mintz and Council Member Bilderain).
The initial two-year general fund budget had a surplus of $628,664; however, the revisions have reduced the surplus to $252,700. The $252,700 surplus is inclusive of $3.1M from the second allocation of ARPA funds. As noted in the PowerPoint presentation, $2.4M of the second ARPA allocation will go towards the construction of the Luckie Park Pool and $710K will be for law enforcement services. Other one-time items included in this budget revision are interfund transfers of $1M for replacement of Luckie Park light poles, $500K for the development of the City's Wastewater Treatment and Sewer, and $250K for the remodel of the Finance/Community Development offices.
Total expenditures and transfers out adjustments exceed total revenue and transfers in by $375K mainly due to Staff using conservative projections for TOT revenues. Furthermore, with the elimination of all one-time revenues and expenditures, the General Fund budget will still balance.
Overall, this is a balanced 2022-23 budget with revised revenues of $14.8M vs. $11.6M originally adopted budget, not including reserve transfers. The largest revenue increases from the adopted budget are Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) - $253K, Franchise Fees - $181K, Sales & Use Tax - $144K, and Building & Road permits - $125K. With the unpredictability of VHR trends, Staff took a more conservative approach for TOT revenue and revised it to be the same as TOT actuals for FY 2020-21. Expenditures are presented at $11.0M for 2022-23 revised vs. $14.6M adopted budget, not including reserve transfers. The largest increases are in the following departments: $295K in Administration mainly due to staff reassignments, contract and consulting for outreach and outsourced labor, and an addition of a part-time employee in Finance; $3.0M in Nondepartmental mainly due to the one-time interfund transfers referenced above; $170K in Community Development mainly due to the addition of one full-time Assistant Planner and the reinstatement of the current Assistant Planner to full-time for the entire FY; $45K in Code Enforcement mainly due to the $35K contract with Southwest Security for VHR enforcement; $102K in Building, Safety & Engineering mainly due to increase in issuance of building permits; and $139K in Economic Development mainly due to addition of $100K for Housing assistance programs (need to create the program details outside of the budget). In addition to the aforementioned adjustments, the original budget had a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of 4% with the revised budget including a 6.9% COLA, or $64K, pending Council's approval. City Manager (CM) has always been consistent with CPI (consumer price index) changes, low or high. However, with this unusually high CPI, inflation is real for everyone, CM is proposing 5% COLA with a 1.9% one-time inflation payment.
For changes/revisions to the adopted budget, please refer to the Adjustments column in the attached General Fund Budget.
General Fund Position and Positives/Challenges:
The City of Twentynine Palms anticipates having $7.4M in reserves at the end of Fiscal Year 2021-22. Within the reserves are $1.3M designated for the Fire Pension which leaves $6.1M in unassigned reserves. Staff is recommending the use of $844K of the unassigned reserves from the anticipated surplus in the current year, Fiscal 2021/22, for improvements at the Animal Shelter buildings ($700K), Luckie Park Pool upgrades ($84K) and COPS/SLESA Expenditures ($60K) in FY 2022-23. This will lower reserves to $5.2M, or 50% of total General Fund expenditures, which is below the reserve policy of 60-65%; however, this is a conservative estimate as TOT are expected to come in higher than forecasted. Should the unassigned balance come higher than 60-65% reserve policy, Staff recommends designating the overage for the City's match of $355K for the City's Wastewater Package Treatment Plant, currently not appropriated.
Staff is anticipating another moderate growth year with Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) stable, Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) continuing to have attendance growth (JTNP is already 111K over calendar year 2021 through April 2022), and overall State and Federal economies improving.
