BAIT WILL PLAY FOR US, SO THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THE CITY OF REDDING. MY NAME IS SHYANN A (INDISCERNIBLE) OF THAT YEAR, I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS FOR 11 MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS OFF AND ON AND SUBJECTING MY DAUGHTER. MY DAUGHTER IS CURRENTLY IN FOSTER CARE. I WENT TO THE SHELTER FOR 11 MONTHS. WHEN I WAS THERE, I WAS USING IT AS A STEPPING STONE TO OBTAIN GELS. THEY DO HAVE A WORK SEARCH PROGRAM THAT I USED TO MY ADVANTAGE. LAST AUGUST, I ENDED UP GETTING A JOB THROUGH THE PROGRAM AS A COMMERCIAL BUS DRIVER IT SERVE THE CITY OF REDDING. THEY GAVE ME STABILITY THAT I MUCH NEEDED. I APPLIED TO THE LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS AND WHEN MY NAME CAME ON TOP OF THE LIST, I WASN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS. I GET BUMPED OF THE LIST. SORRY, I LOST MY PLACE, I KEPT WORKING AND ENGAGING IN SERVICES TO GET MY DAUGHTER BACK IN MY CARE. AT THIS POINT, I HAD HEARD A RUMOR THAT THEY WERE BUILDING SMALL PALLET HOMES AND IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AT THE TIME TEMPORARY WILL HE. THIS WAS MY CHANCE TO WORK -- AND HELP ME TO WORK ONE-ON-ONE. IT WAS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, THAT THEY PROVIDED THESE THINGS. AND STAFF IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSES THEM. I WILL HAVE LIVING HERE, AND I AM WORKING WITH MY CASE MANAGER, WHILE STILL WORKING AND LEARNING -- FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF AND IT'S AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO BE THE FIRST RESIDENT HERE AT THE MICRO SHELTER. AND BEING THE FIRST AND THE ONLY ONE LIKE IT, IN SHASTA COUNTY. AND I HOPE THAT IN THE MARE FUTURE, MORE OF THE SHELTERS WILL GO UP IN THE COMMUNITY. AND BACK UP OFF THEIR FEET. AND I WANT TO THANK IT'S CITY OF REDDING AND UNITED WAY FOR MAKING THAT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. >> WE DID NOT UM, UM, THEY DID IT THEMSELVES. AND UM, I THINK THAT THE THING THAT THEY CAPTURED TO ME THAT WAS MOST ACCURATE WAS THAT THIS MODEL HAS DELIVERED ON THIS PROMISE TO DELIVER THE ACCEPTS OF COMMUNITY IN THIS PROCESS. THE WHOLE IDEA WAS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS RESPECTFUL AND DIGNIFIED AND SAFE FOR THE RESIDENTS SO THAT ONCE THEY HAD THAT SAFETY, THEN THEY CAN START WORKING ON THAT THING TO GET THEM TO THE NEXT PLACE, AND LIKE I SAID, UM, THIS MODEL HAS DEFINITELY DELIVERED ON THAT PIECE. WE CONTINUE EVERY DAY TO FIND A NEW LEARNING EXPERIENCE, AND CAN UM, OVERCOME, UM, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER LOGISTICAL OR OTHER THINGS THAT COME, AND TAKING CARE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE EMPOWERED US IT TAKE CARE OF. AND WITH THAT, OUR THAT MEMBERS WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. >> AND THEN GO TO THE QUESTIONS, IS THAT OKAY? >> GREETINGS TO THE COUNCIL. I'M RESIDENT OF DISTRICT ONE AND THE WOODLANDS AND I CAME HERE TONIGHT, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GIVE A PRAISE REPORT. WOW, WOW. >> CAN YOU TALK THAT THE MICROPHONE, BECAUSE THIS IS RECORDED. GOOD I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH THE UNITED TEAM, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY AND HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I'M A RESIDENT OF THE WOODLANDS, AND I THOUGHT IT WITH US OVER THE EDGE. AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE UNITED WAY, THE SAFETY AND SECURITY, AND THE NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOCK WALL NEVER HEARD OF A SINGLE PROBLEM. NOT ONE. IS AND NOT ONLY THAT, I WENT TO LIKE OUR BIGGEST, UM, AGNES (INDISCERNIBLE) IN OUR COMMUNITY. BECAUSE SHE LIVES LIKE RIGHT OVER THE WALL FROM HIM. AND ARE YOU HAD ANY PROBLEMS, DID CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING? NOPE, NOT A SINGLE COMPANY COMPLAINT FROM HER. I LACK AT THE LITTLE BUDGET THAT THEY HAD COMPARED TO THE MILLIONS THAT WAS SPENT ON ON OURS, AND ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR THANK YOU DID IS HAVE TO HAVE A POLICE LOG. WHEREAS WHERE THE WOODLANDS OPEN, WE WERE LAKE IN 20 CALLS A WEEK, AND SECURITY MAKES THAT DIFFERENCE AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR WHAT MR. HOMESTEAD DID. AND I DID WISH IT COULD BE DONE FOR THE WOODLANDS AND JUST WOW, YOU AMAZE ME. IT'S GREAT, ALL GOOD. I THANK YOU. >> I WANTED TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN A GUINEA PIG IN THIS PROCESS AND YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE TO ACTUALLY WORK ON OUR OPERATIONAL ORDINANCE THAT WE SET UP FOR YOU. AS YOU LOOK AT THAT, HOW DID THAT WORK, AND ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES IN THAT? >> YES, MA'AM. CHANGES, BUT MY OWN, AND THIS MAY BE A BETTER QUESTION FOR OUR STAFF, BUT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. WHAT WE UM -- HERE'S WHAT I WOULD SAY. WE ARE RUNNING A VERY ORDERLY OPERATION AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, UM, THERE'S BEEN GREAT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAFF AND THE RESIDENTS ABOUT ALL EXPECTATIONS AND EVERYTHING IN THE OPERATION'S MANUAL IS IS EXPLAINED FULLY, AND I HAD WORKED SHIFTS AT THE CENTER, AT THE SITE. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE'S IN CONFUSION OF WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE DOING, AND I THINK THAT IT GOES TO IMPLEMENTING THE OPERATIONS MANUAL, AND THE ORDINANCE AS PRESCRIBED BY THIS COUNCIL, SO FOR NOW, TWO OR THREE MONTHS INTO IT, I WOULD SAY THAT I FEEL THAT IT HAS PROVIDED VERY SOLID FRAMEWORK AND GUIDELINE FOR OUR WORK. MR. HOMESTEAD FOR STEPPING UP, AND PILOTING THIS. I WANT IT IT THANK THE STAFF AND THE RESIDENTS FOR COMING. WHY WANT IT IT GET TEARY HERE. BUT WE HEAR SO MUCH OF THE PROBLEMS. EVERY LIFE MATTERS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU MATTERS, THIS IS STARTING OUT SMALL. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> YOU ALWAYS HEAR THE BIG STUFF FROM THE BIG PEOPLE. I MADE AN UNANNOUNCED VISIT TO MARK STREET. AND I MET THAT GIRL RIGHT THERE. AND SHE GAVE ME THE REAL STORY. EVERYBODY HAD A JOB. AND I SAW A YOUNG MAN WITH A SCOOTER HEADING OFF TO WORK, I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HER I LIKE IT IT HEAR, BUT I WANT TO BE OUT OF HERE BEFORE MY TEN MONTHS IS UP. MAKE SPACE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, SO THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR ME. AND THE SUCCESS THAT WE'RE HAVING THERE IS GOING TO MOVE TO THE CHURCH AND WE JUST BROKE GROUND A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO OVER THERE. AND AND I THINK THAT OUR SUCCESS HERE. YOU ALL HAVE A VESTED INTEREST THERE. AND IN THE VIDEO, I SAW THAT YOU HAVE A PAMPHLET ON THE DAYCARE -- COMMUNITY ROOM; OKAY. THANK YOU. CAN PEOPLE DONATE FOOD TO THE COMMUNITY ROOM? GOOD FOOD. AND THEN HOW ARE YOUR BOX GARDENS DID GO. I SAW THEM, THEY ARE LOOKING GOOD. >> I DID SEE SOME OF OF YOU ON TV HERE RECENTLY, YOU DID A STORY, YOU DID A GREAT JOB SELLING THE PROGRAM WE HAVE END MORE TO PUT UP. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE TONIGHT, AND SHARING WITH US. AND THIS IS BEING RECORDED SO THAT PEOPLE AT HOME ARE WATCHING THIS. AND CONTINUE TO PITCH IN. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. HOMESTEAD. CONTINUES TO WORK WELL. A LOT OF DISCUSSION, AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SECURITY MEETING. I WOULD SAY THAT COUNCIL MEMBER THAT CERTAINLY -- I HAD CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WINTER AND OTHERS. AND THAT LED US IT REALLY LOOK IN INVESTING FOR THE SECURITY IN SITE, THE SECURITY IS 7 DAYS A WEEK. 24 HOURS A DAY. THE SECURITY FOLKS HAVE BALANCED MA THE FAMILY. IT HAS BEEN BENEFICIAL. WHETHER THAT IS WHAT ENDS UP BEING FOR WHATEVER IS FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF EVERYTHING. WE'LL SEE AS WE GO ALONG. BECAUSE IT'S CONFIDENTLY. SO THE POINT IS THAT INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL, FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM UM, THE WOULD LANDS WHO'S VERY VALUABLE, AND PLEASE KEEP IT COMING. >> THANK YOU, THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB, WHEN I WENT THERE, AND KNOCKED ON THE GATE, AND THE WOMAN THAT CAME TO THE GATE, WANTED TO KNOW WHO I WAS. AND WANTED TO SEE MY IDENTIFICATION. >> PURSUANT TO THE BROWN ACT, CITY COUNCIL CANNOT TIME. >> WE HAVE ONE CARD, DOES THAT PERSON KNOW WHO HE OR SHE IS. COMPANY ON UP, DAVID LEDGER. YOU GOT IT RIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. FIRST, I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE ASKING, FIRST OF ALL, FOR THE HOMELESS, AND MR. HOMESTEAD, SINCE YOU CAME IN UNITED WAY, YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THIS WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT. ON ITEM 4.6 A AND B. I SUPPORT AND I'M JUST SPEAKING PERSONALLY, THE TRAIL ALONG THE RIVER, THAT THE PARKS AND RECREATION ARE TRYING TO GET. AND I SUPPORT THEIR GRANT. AND LOOKING OVER THE 4.6 B. THE ALIGNMENT OF THE LOTS, I LOOKED AT IT, AND I AM THINKING, WELL, GOOD, THIS WILL PUT AN EASEMENT, BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE A GOVERNMENT GRANT, PUT AN EASEMENT, THAT THE POPULOUS CANNOT GRAB A LOT ON THAT. THE REASON IS TO GET A TRAIL AROUND THE RIVER AND IT WILL HAVE AN EASEMENT ON THERE SO THAT UM, POPULOUS CANNOT PUT THEIR CONCRETE OR OTHER IDEAS OR RESTAURANTS OR WHATEVER IT IS AROUND THE RIVER. I NOTICE THE TREES THERE. IT'S STARTING TO BE A CANOPY THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> SO ITEM, 4.6 B WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE. AND 411 F WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE. AND ITEM 4, FOUR SIX B, AND FOUR 11 F. AND FOUR TWO A. SO FOR TWO A IS REMOVED AND FOUR SIX B, IS REMOVED, AND FOUR 11 F IS REMOVED. AND WITH THOSE REMOVABLES, I HAVE PERMISSION TO MOVE THE REMAINING NUMBERS? ORIGINAL ESTIMATE ON THIS PROJECT. CAN YOU TELL US AS TO WHY? >> THIS IS AN ON CALL TRAFFIC CONTROL ITEM FOR R E, AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN OUR LINE CREWS GET OUT TO DO WORK AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS THEY NEED TO DO TRAFFIC CONTROL, MEANING FLAGGERS AND CONES AND WHAT NOT. AND SO AS EVERYBODY IS WELL AWARE, THIS PAST SUMMER AND INTO THE FALL AND WINTER MONTHS, SO YOU HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION WORK GOING AROUND TOWN. IT IMPACTED, R U, IN WAYS THAT IT WAS NOT EXPECTED IN TERMS OF THE EXTRA LINE THAT WE PULLED IN BOXES BEING IN THAT CONTRACT VALUE, SO WE'RE REQUESTING THE INCREASE IN THE CONTRACT SPLICE, TO CONTINUE TO DO OUR WORK, AND INCREASE IN THE FUTURE TO DID CAN THE WORK THAT'S NECESSARY THIS UPCOMING SUMMER. >> THANK YOU. AND ALSO MR. TIPPIN WHILE YOU'RE THERE, FOUR TWO A. >> NO. I WANTED TO STATE FOR THE RECORD, ON 4.6 A. THAT'S A RELATING GRANT APPLICATION AND ORIGINALLY VOTING NO FOR THE SAME REASON. IT'S A BACK UP GRANT; IS THAT RIGHT? >> YEAH, IT'S -- SO THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED FOR APPLYING IT A GRANT ON COMPLETION OF THE SOUTH CITY GRANT. AND FOR THE SECOND GRANT IN CASE THAT WASN'T DOESN'T GO THROUGH, BUT IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE FIRST ONE GOES THROUGH, AND WE WILL WITHDRAW THAT GRANT BUT IN CASE THAT ONE FALLS THROUGH, WE CAN HAVE THIS BACK-UP PLAN, SO THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE SOUTH CITY PARK AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. >> SO THAT'S REFLECTED TO VOTE NO ON FOUR SIX A. CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CITY COUNCIL, FOR THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE. >> I UNDERSTAND MR. (INDISCERNIBLE) IT'S GOING TO BE NINE 11 F. >> FOR THE PUBLIC, PEOPLE ARE WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS. IT'S THE FINAL CLEAN UP. >> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SPECIFIC QUESTION. >> IF YOU CAN GO BRIEFLY WHAT IT IS, SO THE PUBLIC CAN KNOW. WHAT ARE THE CHANGES TO BE ON THE STREET, AND BRIEFLY, WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. >> SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS PLASTER STREET, WE HAVE SEWER AND WATER PROJECT THERE. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEAR AND AFTER THE PROJECT, WE INTEND TO BRING IN THE ROAD UP. PEOPLE BRINGING THAT UP ON THE WEST SIDE, SO WE'RE AT THE END OF THE PROJECT TO BE REPAVING PLASTER. AND WHEN WE DO THAT, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A BLANK CANVAS. AND THAT'S A SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL ISSUE ON THAT ROADWAY TO ADDRESS IN TERMS OF COLLISIONS AND SPEEDS AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IN REALLY A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MEND IN THAT PROJECT TO NUMBER ONE, THE COLLISION RATE ALONG THE CORRIDOR IS HIGHER THAN STATE WIDE AVERAGE. SO WE LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT. THE SIDE STREET WHAT WE CALL THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, IS BELOW THAT. SO SIDE STREETS ARE ON BEYOND THE PLACER. THEY HAVE DELAYS, AND CAUSING THEM TO MAKE RISKY DECISIONS, AND PARKING AND THERE'S NO CENTER TURN LANE, AND WHEN YOU TURN OUT, YOU HAVE TO TURN FOUR LANES OF PROJECT, AND THAT'S A RISKY MANEUVER AND CAUSES THE DELAYS, AND HAVING THE ISSUES WITH SIDE SWIPES, WE HAVE VERY SMALL PARKING LANES ON BOTH SIDES, THAT ARE ABOUT 8 FEET WIDE AND WHEN THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN THEY ARE PRETTY NARROW LANES, SO WE HAVE SIDE SWIPES AND ALONG THE CORRIDOR AS YOU APPROACH IF YOU ARE IN THE NUMBER ONE LANE AND WANTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, ON EITHER DIRECTION THE CAR BEHIND YOU HAS TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP, OR THEY MAKE A RISKY MA ENOUGH MAKING CHANGES, TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. AND CAN FINALLY, ONE OF THE BIGGER REASONS, IS THE SPEEDS, THE PREVAILING SPEED IS 42 MILES AN HOUR. ABOVE 30 OR 35 MILES AN HOUR, ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED FOR SEVERE INJURIES, SO YOU'RE REALLY COMING DOWN TO A DOWNTOWN AREA AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SPEEDS TURN OUT, AND WE ENGAGED A CONSULTANT TO HELP US DO A TRAFFIC STUDY, AND TO HELP US DEVELOP SOME OF THE SOLUTIONS AND WE LOOKED AT DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES TO HOW TO RESTRIPE THE ROAD. WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE PLACE A THREE LANE SECTION ON THAT ROAD, AND KEEP THE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES AND HAVING ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION, AND THEN ON A CERTAIN TURNING LANE, AND IT ALLOWS THE SIDE STREET SPACE TO GET INTO. AND SHORTEN THE DISTANCE FOR THE INACTIVE LANES WHERE THE PEDESTRIANS HAVE TO CROSS AND SUBSTANCE AND STRIPING ALONG THE INTERSECTIONS THROUGH THERE FOR THE PEDESTRIANS, AND IT GIVES THE DRIVES THE DIRECTION TO SLOW DOWN, THERE'S THINGS HAPPENING THERE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE INTENDING TO DO. WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THAT DECISION WITHOUT INPUT, SO WE HAD TO HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING AT THE I O F HALL. WE TOOK COMMENTS AND POSTED IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WE REACHED OUT BY NEXT DOOR, AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO COMMENT, AND WE DIRECTED THE MAILERS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AREA, AND THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE WAS THAT MOST PEOPLE AGREED THAT THAT'S THE BEST SOLUTION AND PREFER THAT. AND THE THREE LANE SECTION TO HANDLE, 18 TO 19 CARS A DAY, WE SEE ABOUT 15 THOUSAND NOW. ULTIMATELY, IT'S PAIN, IF THIS DOESN'T HELP TO REDUCE THE PROBLEMS AND IF THERE'S A PUBLIC OUT CRY OR CONGESTION ISSUES, IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THE QUESTION THAT IS REMAINING, IT WILL BE DONE BY CHRISTMAS? >> PATIENCE FOR PROGRESS. TO HAVE IT DONE BY THE END OF JUNE. >> SO WE SHOULD BE PAVING, SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 19TH. A NICE CORRIDOR. AND HOPEFULLY, PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN THAT. >> TO SAY THAT I HAVE A FEW E-MAILS ON THIS, IT'S AN UNDER STATEMENT. LET ME ASK A STATISTICAL QUESTION. YOU REPLACED A 50-YEAR-OLD PIPE? >> ABOUT 11 THOUSAND FEET OF POWER LINE, AND ALL OF THE SERVICES FROM EACH HOME, AND 20 SERVICES IN EACH OF THOSE. LOOKING IT AT THE PLAN FOR THE STRIPING AS A FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. LOOKING AT THE ACCIDENT PICTURE. BY BRINGING IT DONE TO ONE TO TWO LANES, THAT'S GOING TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC LINE, AND IT WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REAR END COLLISIONS. AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN A HURRY, IS AND THERE'S TWO LANES THERE. AND I LOOKED AT THE DIAGRAM, AND YOU WIDENED THE SPACE ON THE SHOULDER FOR THE RIGHT LANE. AND IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR, YOU WON'T GET IT WHACKED OFF FROM SOMEBODY IN THE HIGHWAY. AND I TALKED TO A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN THAT AREA, SHOWED THEM THE PLANS, AND THEY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. AND IN FACT, WHILE I WAS TALKING TO ONE BUSINESS PEOPLE WERE HONKING THE HORNS IN THE TRAFFIC. AND THE BUSINESS OWNER SAID IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. SO YOUR STRIPING PLAN IS SPOT ON. I LOOKED AT IT IN DETAIL. WE'RE NOT GIVING UP MUCH IN THE WAY OF PARKING SPACES, ARE WE? GOOD NO, THERE'S WELL OVER ONE HUNDRED SPACES ALONG THE CORRIDOR THERE. APPROXIMATE SAFETY REASONS, WE'RE LOSING ABOUT 7 OR 8 SPACES AND MOSTLY AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT I DIDN'T MENTION IS THE PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THE SIDE STREETS. GET MORE CARS COMING MY, AND CAN THAT WILL HELP WITH THAT AS WELL. >> FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO SENT US E-MAILS WE'RE ON TOP OF IT. >> AND BY THE END OF JUNE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE PROMISED. >> I DID APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE, PAUSE AGAIN, I LIVE ON THE WEST SIDE AS WELL. AND I DRIVE THROUGH THE CORRIDOR. AND THAT PROJECT WAS THERE. AND ULTIMATELY, THE COMMUNITY WILL BE VERY PRUDENT. GOOD ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE (INDISCERNIBLE). LACK HOW NICE THAT IS NOW. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBERS? MARGE CONTRELL. >> COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR. TIBBETTS, OUR CITY ENGINE NEAR, MY NAME IS MARGE CONTRELL RIDING MY BROOM AGAIN. I RIDE AND RIDE PACHELLY LANE. KEEPING IN MIND THAT THE LANE IS BEING AVOIDED. THINKING THAT THERE'S CONSTRUCTION GOING. AND THAT THE PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS ARE BEING PUT IN VERY UNUSUAL CASE, VERY PAW IN CORNERS, AND THE TRAFFIC THAT IS THERE I HAVE BEEN PASSED AT LEAST A CAN DANGEROUS TIMES, POSSIBLY 14 TIMES BY SOMEONE IN THE CENTER LANE. WHO HAS NOT NOTICED THAT THE 40 MILES AN HOUR SIGN IS GONE, IS IT'S 40 MILES PER HOUR THE ENTIRE DAY. IT WAS TOTALLY PAY PASSED. BECAUSE THEY AT THE POINT WANT TO USE THE CIRCULAR ON VALLEY VIEW AND PACHELLY LANE. YOU HAVE CHANGED A THOROUGHFARE INTO ANAL THREE WAY. WHEN YOU ANNOUNCE THAT THAT JOB IS DONE. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MISTAKE. IF YOU'RE DID GO THIS ON PLACER WHICH HAS MORE TRAFFIC MUCH YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL, IT'S GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. I GO THAT WAY ALL OF THE TIME. MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE DOCTOR'S OFFICES GOING AROUND BUENAVENTURA ALL OF THE TIME. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> LET ME GO BACK TO MY SECOND FAVORITE IT I CAN. >> 6.1. LET'S BEAT IT DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING. DID WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? >> WE'LL DID A BRIEF PRESENTATION, AND WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS, EVERYBODY IS FREE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT, AND IF YOU MADE ONE LAST TIME, AND YOU REPEAT YOURSELF, THAT'S OKAY. BUT I HAVE A HANDFUL OF CARDS HERE. SO MR. PAGAN? >> YES, GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. HERE IT CONTINUE FROM THE PUBLIC HEADING REGARDING THE SHORT TERM RENTALS, IT SHOULD BE A BRIEF PRESENTATION, AND HIT A RECAP OF THE LAST MEETING AND THEN TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE MAJOR ORDINANCE CHANGES REGARDING COUNCIL DISCUSSION FOR TONIGHT. BY WAY OF OF RECAP, UM, BACKGROUND LAST TIME, TOUCHED ON THE ORDINANCE, AND TOUCHED ON INITIAL DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL, AND PLANNING COMMISSION LAST YEAR. DISCUSSING THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS, AND HIGHLIGHTING FOR IT ALL, FOR ARE THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP, AND TALKED ABOUT THE DIRECTOR'S COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING REGARDING THIS TOPIC. AND IN THE LAST COMMITTEE HEARING, IT REACHED CONSENSUS ON MANY OF THE ITEMS, BUT FURTHER DISCUSSION NEEDED ON ITEMS NEEDED TONIGHT, WITH THE PROPOSED DENSITY LIMIT, AND AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED CAP. SO I WON'T GO OVER EACH OF THESE IN DETAIL, AND THIS OUTLINE FOR THE BULLET POINTS FOR WHICH WE FELT THE COUNCIL REACHED CONSENSUS LAST MEETING. AND SO IT'S THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BACK TO TWO ADULTS MAXIMUM, INSTEAD OF TWO-PERSONS, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE LOG BEING CHANGED TO THE VEHICLE RECORD. AND ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE CHANGED THE NOTIFICATION OF THE APPLICATION TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS TO WHATEVER THAT ENDS UP BEING. PREVIOUSLY AT 6 HUNDRED FEET, SO IT WAS ONE HUNDRED FEET, PLUS -- AND THEN THE TEN BUSINESS DAY THE APPEAL PERIOD WAS CHANGED BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AS WELL. AND I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE TEN BUSINESS DAY APPEAL PERIOD, AND TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE VACATION RENTAL APPLICATION PROCESS. AND I THINK THAT THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION LAST TIME REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION, AND WHEN PEOPLE CAN APPEAL AND WHEN THEY CANNOT. SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THIS. TO APPLY FOR A VACATION RENTAL, AND WE FIRST REVIEW THE APPLICANT. AND THEN THEY ARE WELCOME TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO OUR OFFICE. AND THEN AT THAT TIME SEND OUT A FIRST NOTICE OF APPLICATION. AND RADIUS FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AT THAT POINT, IT WILL RUN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND NOTIFY, HOW LONG THAT NOTIFICATION WILL RUN, AND THEN WE WILL TAKE COMMENTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS, AND WE'LL FIELD PHONE CALLS AND E-MAILS ETCETERA. STAFF WILL AUTOMATICALLY ARRIVE TO DENY OR APPROVE AND PROCEED WITH PERMITTING ISSUANCE. IF THE APPLICATION IS DENIED, IF IT IS APPEALED BY THE APPLICANT THEN GO TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO A SECOND NOTIFICATION, WHICH IS THE ISSUED LETTER. TO OBTAIN A BUSINESS LICENSE. AND THEN WE'LL PROCEED WITH ISSUING A PERMIT, AND IMPORTANTLY, NOTIFYING INTERESTED PARTIES, AND JUST TO MAKE IT A POINT OF CLARIFICATION HERE, WHEN WE ISSUE THE PERMIT, THAT'S NOT THE FINAL SAY, SO THE PERMIT ISSUANCE LETTER IT GOES TO THE APPLICANT, AS WELL AS THE INTERESTED PARTIES TO HAVE BEEN OBJECTED. AND IT SPELLS OUT IN ISSUANCE LETTER THAT THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL HAVE THE CURRENT TEN DAY APPEAL PERIOD. THERE'S A COUPLE OF OFF-RAMPS IN THIS PROCESS FOR THOSE TO BE FEET IDENTIFIED, AND OBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THE PERMIT. SO THE ITEMS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION: JUST A QUICK REMINDER THAT WE DID A SURVIVE WITH 570 RESPONSES, AND I'LL BE INCLUDING THAT DATA AGAIN, I WILL SHOW IT AGAIN FOR DENSITY AND THE CAP. AND THIS IS QUICKLY THE DEMOGRAPHICS TO REMIND YOU OF WHO TOOK THE SURVEY. FOR THE FOLKS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THEM, AND AS WELL AS OTHERS TO PROVIDE THE INPUT, LET'S WALK THROUGH THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE CHANGES. LET'S START WITH THE DENSITY. THE STAFF HAS KEPT THE RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS THE 5 HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS, AND THE 3 HUNDRED FOOT SEPARATION, AND WHEN THERE'S BUFFERS PRESENT. I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH SOME SLIDES, THIS IS THE TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE ORANGE PARCEL, AND SAYING THAT SOMEONE IS APPLYING FOR A SHORT TERM RENTAL PAYMENT, AND THAT'S THE RED PARCEL, THEN THE ORANGE PARCEL UNDER THIS RULE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE, BECAUSE IT'S WITHIN THE FIVE-FOOT DISTANCE, AND IF THE GREEN PARCEL HAD OPERATING SHORT TERM RENTAL, THEN THIS WOULD BE AWARDED. BECAUSE THEY NEED THE 5 HUNDRED RADIUS FOOT. AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE TO SHOW YOU WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE'S A BUFFER. IN THIS CASE, BUENA VENTURA RUNS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PARCEL. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE SIMILARLY HERE, IF THE ORANGE PARCEL APPLIES AND THERE'S A CURRENT RENTAL. IF IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE 3 HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS. AND ONLY TO THE EAST, AND TO THE WEST, THERE'S NO MAJOR ARTERIAL OR BUFFER SO TO THE WEST, TO APPLY A 5 HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER, TO THE WEST, AND A 3 HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER ACROSS THE ARTERIAL ROADWAY. WHAT YOU SEE IS THE DENSITY TO COLLAPSE BY A PARCEL OR TWO. THAT'S WHAT I'M INDICATING HERE FROM THE ARROW FROM THE EAST TO WEST. AND IT WAS A HALF WANTING FIVE-FOOT OR LESS, AND IT WAS AN EVEN SPLIT ACROSS STAFF TONIGHT, AND PROPOSING THE 5 HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND NOW FOR THE FEW SLIDES, THESE ARE TO DEMONSTRATE A HYPOTHETICAL. FROM THE DENSITY AND TO GIVE A SECTION OF THE CITY SO THIS IS SORT OF BOUNDED BY SHASTA VIEW, AND THE G I S TEAM TO BE PUT TOGETHER IN FRONT OF YOU AND THIS IS A 3 FOOT PARCEL. AND THIS IS A FIVE HUNDRED FOOT SPACING ALONG WITH THE BUFFERS, AND LASTLY, A THOUSAND FOOT SPACING, SO REALLY INTENDED TO GIVE YOU A GRAPHICAL SENSE OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A SECTION OF OUR CITY, AND NOW BY THE NUMBERS, UM, THAT EQUATES TO 47 RENTALS. WHEN THE 3 HUNDRED FOOT RULES APPLY, WHICH IS 6 PERCENT OF THE 793 PARCELS, IF THE 5 HUNDRED RULE APPLIED, 24 RENTALS, AND ONE THOUSAND FOOT. AND THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL, IF WE WERE BUILT OUT TO MAX THE DENSITY, AND ALSO REQUESTED TO SEE SOME OF THE FIGURES. AND NOW, WE'LL MOVE TO -- FROM HYPOTHETICAL, TO WHAT WE HAVE HAPPENING IN THE CITY, AND COURTESY TO THE G I S TEAM, AND THIS IS A HEAT MAP. TO SHOW THE HOT SPOTS, WITH THE CURRENT OPERATING SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A FEW MORE EXAMPLES. YOU SEE TO THE NORTH, YOU HAVE THE 295 AREA. AND WE HAVE THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN, AND TO THE EAST, THE EDGE AREA, BROWNING, I'LL TAKE IT FIRST TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THIS IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AREA TO THE G I S SYSTEMS. AND THOSE HAVE DIFFERENT STATUSES REGARDING THE PENDING RENEWAL. VERSUS THE SHORT TERM RENTAL, AND VERSUS A VACATION RENTAL. AND SO FOR SCALE, YOU'LL SEE THAT I PUT A 3 HUNDRED FOOT DIMENSION, AND YOU SEE IN THIS AREA, YOU HAVE SHORT TERM RENTALS, THAT UM EXCEED THE 5 HUNDRED FOOT REQUIREMENT. TO THE SOUTH, YOU SEE THAT WE HAVE A 350 FOOT SQUALL THERE. AND WE HAVE SOME CLUSTERS, AND WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE WITHIN THE FIVE FOOT HERE, AS WELL AS IN THE EDGE WOOD AREA, WE HAVE A CLUSTER OF 5.3. AND LASTLY, I THINK THAT WE DISCUSSED THIS ONE, THE NUMBER OF TRACKS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, THAT THE 6 HUNDRED FOOT SCALE A PLAY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, AND WE HAVE A CLUSTER OF SHORT TERM RENTALS THERE. APPROACHING THE 5 HUNDRED FOOT DISTANCE. AND TO THE NORTH, YOU CAN SEE ALONG GARDEN AVENUE, YOU SEE THE SHORT TERM RENTALS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER AND AS WELL AS A FEW TO THE FIVE HUNDRED FOOT DISTANCE, AND THIS IS HOW IT IS PLAYED OUT IN THE CITY. AND THE CALCULATIONS TO SHOW YOU FOR THIS TO BE POTENTIALLY AFFECTED. AND TO KNOW THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE HAS GRANDFATHERED ORDINANCES THERE. AND EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT GRANDFATHERED IN. TO SHOW YOU HOW THE DENSITY WORKS OUT, CURRENTLY AS WE STAND TO DO. AND WE HAVE 280 TO 3 HUNDRED UNITS CITY WIDE. SO THAT WAS A REALLY QUICK OVERVIEW OF DENSITY. WE'RE NOT CHANGING OUR RECOMMENDATION, BUD HOPEFULLY TONIGHT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME HYPOTHETICALS, AND SOME ACTUAL DATA THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY. NEXT IS THE CAP, SO THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS STILL THE CAP OF 4 HUNDRED UNITS, THE ONLY SLIDE THAT I HAVE FOR THIS, IS THE SURVEY DATA THAT SHOWS ON OVERWHELMINGLY THE SURVEY RESPONDS THAT ARE IN FAVOR. AND THAT'S THE NUMBER THAT IT WILL BE. AND THERE'S A LIMIT TO THE S T RS AND BEING SEE THERE, THE TWO THIRDS, WE'RE IN FAVOR OF THE THIRD CAP. WITH THAT, I'LL MOVE TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED CHANGES AND AMENDMENT THE R F C, AT COUNCIL MEETING, WE WILL BRING FORTH THE BUDGET RECOMMENDATION, AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED BUDGET APPLICATION FEE ADJUSTMENT. YOU NOTICE THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT, IF THERE'S A STAFF REPORT FEE. THERE'S 10 DOLLARS, WE PUT NOT TO EXCEED 14 HUNDRED DOLLARS AND ADJUSTMENT TO THE FEE. ALTERNATIVELY, COUNCIL CAN CHOOSE NOT TO ACCEPT THE CHANGES, AND PROVIDE OTHER DIRECTION TO THE STAFF, AND WITH THAT, I I KNOW THAT I WENT PRETTY QUICKLY, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. >> SO WE CAN EITHER DO PUBLIC COMMENT NOW OR -- BECAUSE HE WAS UP HERE FOR A WHILE. >> I APPROVE TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT, AND GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY, IS THAT OKAY? >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC). TECHNICALLY STILL OPEN FROM LAST TIME. SO WE'LL START WITH CINDY YOUNG. AND FOLLOWED BY (INAUDIBLE) AND FOLLOWED BY DON MAYER. >> IS THAT LITTLE THING WITH THE RED LINE HIDING BEHIND THE -- >> SO I TOOK IT DOWN. SO I CANNOT USE MY OWN SEAT. THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. (INDISCERNIBLE) YOUR REQUEST, I HAVE COME WITH SOME DIFFERENT INFORMATION THAT I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD COME WITH SOME STATISTICS. I JUST -- IN A COUPLE OF THE MEETINGS, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SHORT TERM RENTALS TAKING THE PLACE OF LONG-TERM RENTALS AVAILABLE FOR FOLKS LOOKING FOR A HOME. SO I WENT AHEAD AND -- I THOUGHT THAT THE NUMBER THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WAS EXTREMELY LOW. SO I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO HIT THE WEBSITES OF THE MOST PREDOMINANT MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES HERE IN TOWN. I HAD AUTHORITY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SHOWING 362 ACTIVE TODAY, (INDISCERNIBLE) REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, 14, ADVANCE SOLUTIONS, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 16. (INDISCERNIBLE) 29. THAT'S JUST A COUPLE. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE PEOPLE LISTING THEIR HOMES ON FACEBOOK MARKET PLACE OR CRAIG'S LIST. THERE'S A FEW RENTALS. WHETHER IT'S AFFORDABLE OR NOT, WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT. I HAVE ACCESS TO THE MULTIPLE LISTING SYSTEMS. I WENT AHEAD AND SEARCHED THE ACTIVE, UM, HOMES AVAILABLE ON THE MULTIPLE LISTING SYSTEM THIS MORNING. SO BETWEEN ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, AND 350 THOUSAND, THERE'S ONLY 49 HOMES ACTIVELY AVAILABLE. FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS, REALLY ANYTHING UNDER 350 IS KIND OF THAT INTRODUCTION. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE BUYER TO QUALIFY FOR. AND IT'S REALLY NOT FOR -- IT'S REALLY NOT BECAUSE OF THE PRICE EVEN. BUT BECAUSE OF THE INTEREST RATE TODAY. THEY ARE PUSHING 7 PERCENT RIGHT NOW. SO NOW YOU'RE PAYING TWICE AS MUCH SO THE AFFORDABILITY ACROSS THE NATION IS DEFINITELY AFFECTED, AND I'M JUST HEARING REDDING. SO ANY WAY, I FELT THAT IT WAS LIKE -- SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT. I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT THE CAP IS NECESSARY ON SHORT TERM RENTALS. I THINK THAT IT WILL ADJUST ITSELF. AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE OCCUPIED. SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE OCCUPIED 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME. THAT'S UNTRUE. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE -- THE ONES THAT WE HAVE WE'RE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 23 AND 54 PERCENT OCCUPANCY EACH AND EVERY MONTH. THEY ARE NOT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OCCUPIED ALL OF THE TIME. SO ANY WAY, I JUST WANTED TO (INDISCERNIBLE) THOSE DOUBTS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT WILL BE JEFF BUYERS, FOLLOWED BY DO NOT MAYOR, AND FOLLOWED BY SUZANNE MURRAY. >> FIRST TIME CALLER. NO -- (INDISCERNIBLE) I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE EFFORT AND THE TEAM. ALL OF THE RESEARCH THAT EVERYBODY HAS PUT IN, IT IS JUST PHENOMENAL. KEEPING IT REALLY BRIEF, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DENSITY FOR A BIT. AND THOSE MAPS SHOWN TODAY ARE AWESOME THE THING THAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER JUST LIKE WITH OCCUPANCY, JUST BECAUSE IT'S AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE OF THOSE HOUSES WITHIN A 3 HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS TO BECOME AN AIR BNB THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW. I HAVE AIR BNB OWNERS THAT I MANAGE FOR THAT ARE ASKING ME EVERY DAY, WHAT ARE MY OTHER OPTIONS, THE MARKET WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. AND WITH THE CAP. WE ARE LESS THAN ONE PERCENT FROM THE HOUSES AVAILABLE FROM THE SHORT TERM RENTALS, SO MY POINT IS JUST BECAUSE THIS IS A POSSIBILITY THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS MARKET. OUR PRICING IS COMING DOWN THE ONLY PLACES THAT ARE DOING HALFWAY DECENT. DO YOU HAVE A SWIMMING POOL? OR A JACUZZI, DIRECT VIEW TO THE MOUNTAINS? THEY ARE FALLING OFF THE SHORT TERM RENTAL MARKET. THEY ARE YOU KNOW, THE OCCUPANCY RATES ARE IN THE 20 PERCENT FOR JUST YOUR STANDARD SUBURB HOME UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DRAW TO IT. I GUESS MY POINT IS JUST BECAUSE THAT'S POSSIBLE, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS MARKET. THE MARKET WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. SO MY SUGGESTION WILL BE TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE. KEEP IT AT 3 HUNDRED FEET. LET THE CAP TAKE CARE OF ITSELF AND REVISIT IT IT, IF IT BECOMES A PROBLEM. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN, EVERYONE. >> DON MAYOR. AND FOLLOWED BY CHRISTI MEREDITH. >> I'M DON MAYOR, MY WIFE AND I MANAGED A SHORT TERM RENTAL, WE DO THE CLEANING. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PEOPLE. MY CONCERN IS THE GRANDFATHERING IN. I'M SORRY, THAT I MISSED THE LAST MEETING. BUT IF IT'S GRANDFATHERED FOR THREE YEARS, WHAT'S THE POINT? >> I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE COUNCIL WILL GO THAT WAY TONIGHT. BUT -- (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> I HOPE THAT YOU WILL, I SUGGEST THAT YOU DO. MY POINT WILL BE THAT BY THE TIME THE THREE YEARS WILL BE UP, WE HAVE TWO OPERATING WITHIN 3 HUNDRED FEET FOR EIGHT YEARS WHY MAKE A DIFFERENCE F THERE'S A COMPLAINT CLOSE IT. THEN MY OTHER -- I GUESS I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SHELLY (INDISCERNIBLE). TONIGHT, MY NAME IS SUZANNE MURRAY. A GREAT CONSIDERATION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY ALL INVOLVED TO SEEK OUT THE PUBLIC'S INPUT SO BOTH SIDES CAN EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS ON THE SHORT TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE. THIS PAST YEAR THIS ORDINANCE HAS BEEN MASSAGED TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE THAT BOTH SIDES CAN LIVE WITH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 5 HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS DENSITY LIMIT FROM AN EXISTING PERMIT OF SHORT TERM RENTALS. THE NOTICING OF VACATION RENTAL APPLICATION SHOULD BE SET TO ALL PROPERTY -- SHOULD BE SENT TO ALL PROPERTY FOR A ONE HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS PROPERTY. I BELIEVE IN AN APPEAL PERIOD OF TEN BUSINESS DAYS IS NECESSARY BECAUSE IT IT SHOULD ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO GATHER AND MEET IN REGARDS TO THE SHORT TERM RENTAL APPLICATION. AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN MAXIMUM CAP OF SHORT TERM RENTALS IS A REASONABLE NUMBER IN THIS SITUATION. I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELL-BEING OF THESE SHORT TERM RENTALS. IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> OKAY. UM, THE MAIN THING THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT IS JUST -- IN THE 2021 TO 2022 YEAR THAT I CAN FIND IN THE CITY OF REDDING AS FAR AS THE INCOME RECEIVED FROM THE INCOME OCCUPANCY TAX IS 8 MILLION 262000, 335 DOLLARS. THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT IS BECAUSE THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS IS DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO RAISE OUR YEARLY FEES THAT ARE CURRENTLY AT 13 HUNDRED DOLLARS. NOW, A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS DOING THIS, THE YEARLY FEE IS 4 HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR, AND IN ONE YEAR, IT JUMPED UP FOR OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND SINCE THEN IT HAS JUST BEEN SLOWLY GROWING EACH YEAR. AND NOW TO THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE 14 HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR MY HOMEOWNERS ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT WE PAID 8 MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES. UM, FOR ONE YEAR. THAT JUST FEELS A LITTLE BIT EXCESSIVE. ASIDE FROM THAT, ON THE 31ST OF LAST MONTH. I'M NOT IN POLITICS. BUT SOME POLITICIAN IN CALIFORNIA DECIDED THAT SHE WANTS TO HAVE ALL OF CALIFORNIA HAVE A TAX FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS OF 15 PERCENT ON TOP OF WHATEVER THE CITIES ARE CHARGING US. SO I JUST WANT TO AGAIN POINT OUT THAT IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE GETTING PICKED ON FROM EVERY ANGLE. AND KEEPING ALL OF THAT IN MIND. IT'S GOING TO THE GENERAL FUND. SO THE 8 MILLION -- I KEEP GETTING SURPRISED BY HOW MUCH IT IS. THE 8 MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING IS JUST GOING TO THE GENERAL FUND, AND YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT RAISING THE FEES ONCE YOU MAKE ALL OF THE DECISIONS OF ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU DON'T EVEN WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND NOW THAT YOU DO ALL OF THIS IN THE WORK AND RAISE THE FEES AGAIN AND YOU ALREADY HAVE 8 MILLION DOLLARS TO PULL FROM. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ON EARTH THE FEE NEEDS TO BE RAISED. ASIDE FROM THAT, THE YEAR AFTER THE 21 TO 2022 IT WENT DOWN FROM 8 MILLION 2 HUNDRED THOUSAND, TO 7 MILLION SOMETHING. THAT SHOWS YOU THAT IT'S GOING DOWN. THE MARKET IS ALREADY TAKING CARE OF ITSELF. AND IT'S ALREADY WITHOUT YOU GUYS DOING ALL OF THIS STUFF TO MONITOR AND SLOW IT DOWN. IT IS SLOWING DOWN. THE LAST THING THAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN IN THE SHORT TERM RENTALS WHERE ONE OF THE LOCAL HOMELESS PEOPLE STAY IN IT. AND DAMAGE IT, AND NOW IT'S HARASSING MY PROPERTY AND COMING BACK, AND I HAVE HESITATED TO CALL THE POLICE MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THIS GUY KEEPS COMING BACK TO MY PROPERTY BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO HAVE A POLICE REPORT ON FILE. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT ON PEOPLE LIKE ME. THANK YOU. >> DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO MR. (INDISCERNIBLE) >> I DO. (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) CAN SOMEBODY TALK TO HER? >> JUST SO YOU KNOW, BUDGETING FOR THIS CITY IS EXTREMELY COMPLICATED. I WISH THAT IT WAS EASY TO SAY THAT THERE'S A POT OF 8 MILLION DOLLARS TO REACH INTO AND USE IT. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT. IT IS STILL COMPLICATED. >> JUST FOR SOME CLARIFICATION. TOT CROSSED ALL HOTELS. IT'S NOT JUST SHORT TERM RENTALS, I THINK THAT -- 4 HUNDRED THOUSAND OR SO FROM SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE TOT, THE FEE IS EXPLICITLY FOR PROCESSING SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMITS. WE INTENT TO NOT RAISE THE FEE, BUT WE WANT TO BE HONEST ON THE ANALYSIS WHEN IT GOES UP. WE WANT TO BRING AT THAT BACK NEXT MEETING. >> HELLO, I HAVE BEEN A SUPER HOSTESS FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS, I'M A HOSTED HOME STAY, WHICH IS HOW AIR B AND B STARTED WITH -- MY RESIDENCE, AND I HAVE GUESTS, AND I STAY IN THE BACK. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE TOURISTS CITIES ON HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE RUINING TOURIST CITIES, LIKE ITALY, L.A. -- WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS THAT THE SHORT TERM RENTALS SHOULD BE A PRIMARY RESIDENTS OF YOURS AND THEY HAVE A CAP OF HOW MANY DAYS A YEAR, THEY CAN RENT THAT OUT, FROM 250 DAYS A YEAR, YOU CAN RENT IT OUT. I WISH THAT THEY HAD THE DENSITY LIMIT FOR ME, FOR YEARS I HAD PEOPLE BUY THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO ME, AND THEY LIVED IN L.A. AND CROWING ABOUT HOW REDDING IS A GOLD MINE FOR PEOPLE LIKE THEM, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BUY A LOT OF HOUSES UP IN L.A. WHERE THEY LIVE. AND THEY HAVE A FEW OR MORE THAN A FEW AIR BNBS THROUGHOUT REDDING. THEY DO NOT LIVE HERE. THEY DO NOT SCREEN THE GUESTS. I HAD A LOT OF GUESTS WITH CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND TRYING TO COME INTO MY HOUSE, AND A LOT OF PARTIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WHEN I GOT THE LETTER FOR THE LICENSE RENEWAL. I WROTE A LONG THING ABOUT MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW THEY WERE VIOLATING THE CODES THAT WE HAD. AND NOTHING GOT DONE, IT GOT RENEWED. I AGREE WITH THE FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR CAP. I THINK THAT IT'S WRONG FOR PEOPLE IN THE AREA TO COME IN AND EXPLOIT THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE REGULATIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN LIVE HERE TO BUY UP HOUSES, AND I'M AWARE OF THE CRISIS HOUSES. AND I'M SENSITIVE TO THAT. AND THE ADU LIKE SENIOR CITIZENS IN THE BACKYARD WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME, I'M WIDOWED. AND I GET TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR REDDING ALL OVER THE WORLD. I HAD GUESTS FROM OREGON AND THEIR KIDS ALSO FROM THE BAY AREA. AND I HAVE CHICKENS IN THE BACKYARD, AND THEY BARBECUED. YOU CANNOT DO THAT IN A HOTEL. I'M NOT TAKING AWAY FROM HOTELS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I'M GLAD THAT THIS IS LOOKED INTO AS FAR AS MANAGING THIS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ENFORCING THE CODES THAT ARE THERE. THANK YOU. MEMBERS, SORRY I WAS LATE, PRESENTATION LOOKED PRETTY GOOD. I WAS DOWN AT THE ANDERSON CITY COUNCIL MEETING. INVITING THEM TO MY DAD'S MEMORIAL YESTERDAY AT ANDERSON, SDA CHURCH AT 3 O'CLOCK. DOCTOR, J L HINKLE FROM PACK IN THE DAY. HE PASSED MARCH 9TH. BUT BACK ON THE SUBJECT HERE. YOU'RE ALL INVITED. UM, DENSITY IS A LOCAL PROBLEM. LIKE A GUY IN A TRACTOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, WE'RE NOT OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY HERE. WE'RE NOT BEACH FRONT COMMUNITY. WE'RE NOT STEAMBOAT SPRINGS. THESE ARE LOCATIONS WHERE EVERY SINGLE STRUCTURE WAS AVAILABLE FOR RENT, THEY WOULD BE RENTED. THAT'S NOT US. WE ARE AT MARKET CAPACITY RIGHT NOW, WITH WHAT WE HAVE. AND IT'S THAT SIMPLE. I HAVE BEEN HOSTING SINCE 2019 AND I HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF. AND NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BUSINESS BECAUSE I'M SUPPORTING FIVE STARS. WITH ABOUT 2 HUNDRED REVIEWS. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT A SHORT TERM RENTAL CAN BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. WE TALK ABOUT HOW BAD IT MAY BE TO HAVE A SHORT TERM RENTAL IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT IT CAN BE A GOOD THING TOO. I HAVE DEFINITELY HOSTED NEIGHBORS, FAMILY THAT COME IN. AND YOU KNOW, NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR OR TWO DOORS DOWN OR WHATEVER. WE HOST THEM. AND I AM CURRENTLY RENTING A SHORT TERM RENTAL AN AIR BNB THAT'S FIVE HUNDRED FEET AWAY FROM MY AIR BNB. BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY COMING IN FROM MY DAD'S MEMORIAL. IT IS CONVENIENT TO HAVE ONE COMING IN FROM MY HOUSE. I MAKE SURE THAT THEY PARK CORRECTLY. ANY WAY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THERE IS AN UP SIDE TO HAVING ONE AIR BNBS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVEN IN CERTAIN DENSITY. ANY WAY, THAT'S ALL I GOT. I SAID YOU KNOW, DOCTOR J LEE HINKLE. HE DIED AND HIS MEMORIAL IS THIS SATURDAY AT 3 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? >> I DON'T MEAN IT LIKE THIS. I MEAN, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND RESOLVE THIS. YES, BRIEFLY. YOU DON'T GET THREE MINUTES BUT YOU GET A BRIEF STATEMENT. >> I THINK THAT SHORT TERMS GET A BAD REP FROM THE LONG-TERM ONES THAT ARE UNDER THE RADAR FOR THE CITY. THE ONE THAT HOUSES 13 STUDENTS FOR 3 HUNDRED OR 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH. AND THEY ARE NOT REGULATED AT ALL. >> WE'RE NOT SEEING SPRINGS -- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT MEANS -- I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS, MR. (INDISCERNIBLE) IS UP HERE AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT I SUGGEST. MR. MEZZANO WAS NOT HERE LAST TIME. I PROPOSE TO GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN THERE FOR THAT. AND TAKE THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES LAST. SO THE FIRST ONE IS VACATION RENTAL CRITERIA VACATION, PROHIBITING THE PROPERTY WITH THE ADU AND THE BUILDING PERMIT. >> MR. MAYOR? OVER HERE. OVER TO YOUR RIGHT. >> WE'RE TAKING UP THE THREE. I'M GOING THROUGH EACH ONE, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO A FINAL VOTE. WE HAD TO VOTE ON THE FULL PACKAGE LAST TIME. AND WE COULDN'T COME UP WITH THE FINAL PACKAGE. >> OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO WHAT MR. MUNNS IS GETTING TO HAVE IT BY CONSENSUS AGAIN AND NOT REHASH ALL OF THE ITEMS OR AGREED TO BY CONSENSUS AND TACKLE THE ITEMS THAT ARE LEFT OVER BY DIRECTOR PAGAN. THE COUNCIL CAN DIRECT IT ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN. EXCEPT FOR MR. MEZZANO. >> IN THE INTEREST OF EXPEDIENCY. I AGREE WITH THE THINGS THAT YOU FOR VOTED ON IN MY ABSENCE, WHICH I APOLOGIZE FOR. BUT I DO HAVE COMMENTS ON THE DENSITY AND CAP AND NOTICE. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I WANT CLARIFICATION ON. OTHER THAN I WOULD STIPULATE THAT WHAT YOU VOTED ON, OR ON AGREED ON ON, WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR ME. >> IS EVERYONE ON BOARD WITH THAT? RECOMMENDATION IS A FIVE HUNDRED FOOT RADIUS FOR THE DISCRETION OF THE DIRECTOR REDUCTION OUT TO 3 HUNDRED SEPARATION FROM THE NATURAL BUFFERS. AS I RECALL LAST TIME, IT WAS ONE THOUSAND FEET, I WAS EITHER ONE THOUSAND OR FIVE HUNDRED. AND I'M 6 HUNDRED. >> I HATE TO BE DIFFICULT. BUT I DON'T THINK FIVE HUNDRED IS SUFFICIENT. THAT'S ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU. I WANT TO GO OUT FURTHER SPACE, I DON'T ARGUE THAT THE SHORT TERM RENTAL IS THE BEST LOOKING HOUSE ON THE HAVE A SEAT. AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENJOY WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET. FOR THE SHORT TERM RENTAL BUSINESS, AND IF WE PUSH IT OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE WE GET CLOSER TO MS. WINTER'S 2 HUNDRED FEET. I THINK THAT WE MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF 6 HUNDRED. >> YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO STRAIGHT ONE THOUSAND, YOU CAN GET ALL VOTES. >> I THINK ONE THOUSAND IS A BIT EXCESSIVE. WHICH I AGREE WITH THE SPEAKERS, IN THE SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE ON THE DECLINE. ACCORDING TO THE REALTORS THAT I SPOKEN TO. WE HAVE 30 THOUSAND HOUSEHOLDS AND WITH THREE HUNDRED SHORT TERM RENTALS, WHAT'S THAT ONE PERCENT THAT WE'RE OUT THERE WITH RIGHT NOW? IT REALLY IS MORE PRODUCT. AND I -- DENNIS? DID YOU ALL SEE HIS POWER POINT PRESENTATION? IT'S A REALTOR OUT THERE, THAT GAVE US A POWER POINT PRESENTATION, AND I FOUND IT REALLY ENLIGHTENING UM, AND I TALKED TO A NUMBER OF REALTORS THAT SAY THAT THE SHORT TERM RENTAL IS SHRINKING. I THINK THAT'S MOTIVATED PARTIALLY BY THE HIGH INTEREST RATES, PEOPLE ARE TURNING THEM INTO LONG-TERM RENTALS, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THAT. I DO AGREE THAT THE MARKET WILL BALANCE ITSELF OUT. AND SO -- I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. >> IT'S 6 HUNDRED FEET. AND I WILL SECOND THAT PROPOSAL. >> THE NEXT ITEM FOR THE RECORD, DO YOU WANT TO STATE YOUR POSITION? >> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. SHE WAS ONE WHO MADE THE COMMENTS. >> I THINK THAT WE'RE BASING THIS ENTIRELY OFF OF A FEAR AND NOT MARKET. SO IF WE ARE BELIEVING IN THE FREE MARKET, AND WHAT IT DOES, I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WANT TO HEADLINE THIS, AND WHY REDDING WANTS TO RESTRICT THE INVESTMENTS. SO THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL. THESE 44 HOUSES AND THE 3 HUNDRED FEET IS A POSSIBILITY. AND WE'RE NOWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. AND WE HAVE THE FOUR SPOTS HAVE MAYBE, 6 TO 8 HOUSES IN THOSE AREAS. THAT'S IT. FOUR PLACES WHERE THE DENSITY WILL BE AN ISSUE, AND IF WE'RE GRANDFATHERING IT IN, AND 3 HUNDRED FEET SEEMS TO BE WHAT THE MARKET IS BARING. SO I'M NOT SURE WHY WE WOULD WANT TO HEADLINE IT, THAT SAYS, WE'RE CAPPING, AND BASICALLY TRYING TO CONTROL THE MARKET, IN THE TIME WHERE THE ECONOMY IS LOW, AND PEOPLE TO COME HERE, AND PAY MONEY AS TOURISM. AND PEOPLE WANT IT STAY IN AIR BNBS, I STAY IN AIR BNBS. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO LIMIT OUR TOURISM, WHEN WE'RE PAYING ON THIS SIDE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT 6 HUNDRED FEET IS NOT THE REALITY, YOU HAVE FOUR PLACES WITH THE DENSITY ISSUES, AND IT'S NOWHERE NEAR WHERE THE DENSITY SHOWS, IF WE HAVE UP TO 44 HOURS IN ONE AREA I THINK THAT AT TEN OR 20 HOUSES, THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT COMES BACK TO US. BUT THERE'S NO ISSUE, WE'RE CREATING AN ISSUE. WE'RE SAYING, HEY, WE DENT WANT INVESTMENT. MONEY GOES WHERE IT'S WELCOMED. AND IT STAYS WHERE IT'S TREATED. THIS IS NOT TREATING THE MONEY WELL. THIS DOES NOT TREAT THE CAPITAL WELL OR THE INDUSTRY OR THE HOMEOWNERS WELL. WHO INVESTED AND BOUGHT A SECOND HOME, AND TRYING TO MAKE SOME MONEY TO STAY AFLOAT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SELL IT. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE. PROTECTION. SO IT DOESN'T HURT EVERYBODY. >> I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THE SAME RIGHT. IF IT GOES TO BE A PROBLEM, WE HANDLE IT BEFORE -- I DO THINK THAT THE GRAPH IS SPECIFICALLY SELECTED. I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT. THIS FOR US AS A PEOPLE, TO HAVE THAT AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> SO STEVE, THEY DID A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND APARTMENT HOUSING, WE ARE TWO THOUSAND HOMES BEHIND AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO BUILD HOUSING IN REDDING BECAUSE OF THE COST AND THE CITY HAS NO CONTROL OVER THAT. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN GO DOWN TO A DIFFERENT STORE AND BUY ORANGES SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOU CANNOT JUST BUILD A HOUSE. YOU HAVE A MAJOR HOUSING ISSUE, WHICH AFFECTS THE CAP NUMBER, BUT ALSO THE INTEGRITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE GARDEN TRACK. THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE DENSITY ISSUES. AND IF YOU DON'T PUT AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE, THERE'S CONTINUED PROBLEMS. THAT PROBLEM WILL GROW. AND I KNOW THAT THE DIAGRAM THAT'S SHOWN IS IN AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD. THESE ARE NOT PARTICULARLY LARGE LOT SIZES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. BASED ON SOME OF THIS SPACING AT 3 HUNDRED FEET, THERE CAN BE A SHORT TERM RENTAL AT 3 TO 5 HOUSES. THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I MOVED THERE, I EXPECTED TO LIVE NEXT TO PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. TOURISTS HAVE OTHER OPTIONS AND WE HAVE HOTEL OWNERS WHO INVESTED, AND EMPLOYED PEOPLE. AND EVERY SHEET TERM RENTAL TAKES AWAY BUSINESS FROM A HOTEL. WE WANT IT TALK ABOUT, WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE HOTEL OWNERS, AND HONOR THEIR INVESTMENT. I WILL SETTLE FOR 6 HUNDRED FEET. >> I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY COME AND SAY -- I DON'T WANT TO BE THE WORD POLICE, AND EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO TALK. LET THEM TALK WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED. >> IF THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH A SPECIFIC SHORT TERM RENTAL, THERE'S A REMEDY FOR THAT. WE TAKE THE LICENSE AWAY, AND TO SAY THAT THERE'S A REMEDY WITH A FEW BAD APPLES, IS TO WIPE OUT THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE PEOPLE TO HAVE THAT AS AN OPTION. IF THEY CAN'T RENT THEIR HOME, IT'S NOT JUST A BUSINESS, IT'S AN INVESTMENT FOR THEM, THEIR HOME IS AN INVESTMENT. OWNING A HOMA ALLOWS YOU TO ACTUALLY HAVE A TAX WRITE OFF, IT ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE MONEY, OR PROTECT YOUR MONEY IN CALIFORNIA WHICH TAXES YOU FOR EVERYTHING. SO IT'S A TAX SHELTER, IT'S NOT SOMEONE BEING GREEDY OR WANTING MULTIPLE HOMES. THEY DON'T HAVE RETIREMENTS, THEY WERE ABLE TO INHERIT THE HOME FROM THEIR PARENTIS, AND GET AN OPTION. THAT HOME STAYS A HOME, AND PEOPLE LIVE IN IT AS A HOME. AND IF THERE'S BAD APPLES, THE REMEDY IS TO TAKE THEIR OPTIONS. I DON'T WANT THE HEADLINE THAT WE DON'T WANT THE BUSINESS, I THINK THAT DENSITY OR CAPS WILL SOLVE THAT. >> I WENT DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IN GARDEN TRACK, WHETHER IT WAS SIX OR 7, I KNOCKED ON ALL OF THE DOORS APPROPRIATE WITH TWO BLOCK RADIUS. I TALKED TO THE PEOPLE, AND NOT ONE OF THEM MENTIONED DENSITY PARKING. AND PARKING WAS MENTIONED TWO-TWICE. AND THAT WAS THE ISSUE. JACK AND I GREW UP, WHERE WE KNEW PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I BELIEVE THAT S T RS BRINGING VALUE. I GREW UP WITH A BLACK AND WHITE TV. AND NOW I HAVE CABLE COMING OUT OF OUR TV. AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND HAVING THE SAME THING AS THE OTHER PLACE. THAT'S MY BIG BEEF. >> WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED A WHILE BACK. I WENT OUT TO MEET WITH SEVERAL OF THE HOTEL OWNERS, AND QUITE HONESTLY, UM, THEIR OPINION WAS THAT IT DOESN'T COMPETE WITH THEIR BUSINESS MODEL. THEY ARE NOT GOING AFTER THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SHORT TERM RENTALS, THEY WANT US TO COLLECT THE D O T TAX THAT THEY ARE COLLECTING WITH THE CITY. BUT BACK TO THE DENSITY AND THE 6 HUNDRED FEET, I'M THINKING OF THE HOMEOWNER THAT'S INVESTED IN THEIR LIFE SAVINGS IN THEIR HOUSE, AND I THINK THAT IT'S REASONABLE TO SPACE IT OUT A LITTLE BIT. AND NOT HAVE THREE OR FOUR FEET OF EACH OTHER EVERY OTHER WEEKEND, AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH CHIEF *SCUELLER. AFTER TALKING TO THE REALTORS, WE KNOW THAT IT'S SHRINKING RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVENTUALLY, BUT TO THINK IN THE FUTURE DOWN THE ROAD, 6 HUNDRED FEET IS REASONABLE IN MY OPINION, THAT'S WHAT I'LL SUPPORT. >> WE CAN BEAT THE NEXT ITEM OF THE REDUCTION OF A 3 HUNDRED FOOT SEPARATION. >> I THINK THAT THE DISCRETION OF 3 HUNDRED FEET IS REASONABLE IF YOU HAVE IT ACROSS I FIVE OR THE OTHER. OR IF THERE'S A CREEK THAT RUNS THROUGH IT. OR IF IT'S A MAJOR ARTERY, AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATED. I'M FINE WITH GETTING DISCRETION TO BUILDING AND PLANNING AT 3 HUNDRED FEET. >> I'M GOING TO GO WITH (INDISCERNIBLE) ON THAT SPECIFIC PIECE. >> IT WILL BE 6 HUNDRED FEET FOR THE ONE ITEM, AND LEAVE THE OTHER ITEM IN. SHOULDN'T ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS BE NOTIFIED? >> THE CONSENSUS FROM THE LAST MEETING WAS THAT THE NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE ADJUSTED -- >> WOULD EQUAL THE 6 HUNDRED FEET, AND I THINK THAT WE WOULD LEAVE IT AT 6 HUNDRED FEET. IT WOULD BE 6 HUNDRED FEET, EVEN IF IT IS AT A 3 HUNDRED FOOT ALLOWANCE. FOR EASE OF THE ADMINISTRATION. IT'S A 6 HUNDRED FOOTNOTE IDENTIFICATION RADIUS. >> YEAH. I MEAN, UM -- I'M JUST GOING NO ON THE OTHER ONES, EXCEPT FOR WHAT JULIE EXPLAINED. I DON'T LIKE 6 HUNDRED. WHEN YOU BUILD A DIVISION NOTIFICATIONS. >> THE IDEA THAT IF IT'S 6 HUNDRED FEET, THEN YOU HAVE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION OF BEING A SHORT TERM RENTAL, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT YEAR, AND THAT ITS COMING IF THEY WANT TO APPEAL OR SAY THAT (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) (INDISCERNIBLE). WHICH DOES MORE THAN WHAT WE DO. I THINK THAT PRO-TEM UM, SAYING, THAT IN ADDITION TO THAT NOTIFICATION, IT WILL ALSO INFORM THOSE NEIGHBORS THAT SOMEBODY WILL HAVE A SHORT TERM RENTAL WITHIN 6 HUNDRED FEET BY PRECLUDING THEM FROM HAVING A SHORT TERM RENTAL. >> WHAT WAS THE COST OF 6 HUNDRED FEET? IT GOES UP EXPONENTIALLY WHEN YOU START TO ADD ON HUNDREDS OF FEET, RIGHT? DOUBLING THAT. FOR EACH APPLICATION. >> WHEN WE DID THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN WE WENT FROM 3 HUNDRED FEET TO 6 HUNDRED FEET. WHAT WOULD IT COST US? >> IT WAS MORE THAN THAT. THAT WAS MUCH GREATER THAN 6 HUNDRED FEET. WE WENT ALL THE WAY OUT THERE. IT WAS A FAIRLY LARGE AREA. AND THE REALITY IS THAT RELATIVE TO THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE ENFORCEMENT. OKAY. CAP OF FOUR HUNDRED. WHO WANTS TO START ON THAT? >> OKAY. BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE, I'M SORRY, I THINK THAT FOUR HUNDRED IS UM, UNREASONABLE. I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO FORCE, UM -- THE PEOPLE IN OUR CITY TO MAKE A MAD DASH TO THE MORE MITT OFFICE TO GET DOWN THE LIST TO GET THE SHORT TERM RENTAL. I WOULD SAY UM -- 6 HUNDRED. THAT'S ANOTHER ROUND NUMBER. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO CREATE THAT MASS RUSH INTO UM, OUR PERMIT OFFICE. AND IT ALSO OPENS US UP INTO OUR COMMUNITY. WHEN THE MARKET TURNS AROUND. GRANTED, IT'S BRINGING IN SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY. LIKE WHAT WAS SAID BY THE OTHER YOUNG LADY BEFORE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THE 15 PERCENT TAX. I DON'T AGREE WITH RAISING ON YOU ARE PERMIT FEE, AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW. THE CAP OF 6 HUNDRED WILL ALLOW US TO INVITE MORE INVESTORS TO HAVE A SHORT TERM RENTAL AND MEET US SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BY INVITING PEOPLE HERE TO DO BUSINESS. GOOD OKAY. WE HAVE 6 HUNDRED ON THE TABLE. DO I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? >> I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S A RUSH. NOT EVEN 3 HUNDRED, SO EVEN GETTING UP TO 4 HUNDRED WILL TAKE SOME TIME PARTICULARLY IN THE MARKET. AND IT IS SO MUCH EASIER, TO START WITH THE LOWER NUMBER, AND WORK YOUR WAY UP, ESPECIALLY BASE -- MY RATIONALITY IS BASED ON THE VACANCY RATE. MY VACANCY RATE IS ONE TO TWO PERCENT ACCORDING TO MR. BAIT. AND IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT. 99 POTENTIAL RENTAL HOMES, MAYBE ONE OR TWO AVAILABLE OUT THERE. AND I THINK THAT YOU SAID MR. BAY THAT ON THE M L S THERE'S FIVE HUNDRED HOMES FOR SALE. AND IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, TRYING TO RECRUIT NURSES AND DOCTORS, ALL KINDS OF TECHNOLOGIES, SOFTWARE PEOPLE. AND THERE'S NOT AVAILABILITIES, OR LONG-TERM RENTALS, OR HOUSES TO BUY, FOR EVERY SHORT TERM RENTAL THAT'S OUT THERE. THAT'S A PLACE THAT OUR RESIDENTS CANNOT LIVE. IF WE HAD TO HIGHER VACANCY RATES, I WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT IT THIS. LET'S TWO TO FOUR HUNDREDS IN THE YEAR, AND REVISIT IT NEXT YEAR. WE CAN REVISIT IT EVERY YEAR, AND IF WE START TO SEE THE SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE OF THE VACANCY RATES, BASED ON MY RESEARCH WAS 3 TO 4 PERCENT. AND WE START TO SEE THE OPENING UP OF THE HOUSING, WE MAY EXPAND THAT NUMBER, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE NOW. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH -- THAT DO WE HAVE NUMBERS FOR WHAT HOW VACANCY RATES ARE? >> THEY ARE BASED ON THE MARKET STUDIES DONE IN 2020. >> SO NOT WITH OUR CURRENT ECONOMY AND EVERYTHING AND IN THE INTEREST RATES NOW. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OCCUPANCY RATE IS. >> WE PAY ATTENTION TO THE MARKET, AND SEE THE MARKET STUDIES COMING IN, WITH 2021. WHICH IS THE MOST RECENT ONES. I FEEL LIKE IF WE PUT A CAP ON IT, WE CREATE SCARCITY. AND THIS IS BASIC ECONOMICS. IF YOU SAY, THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OF SOMETHING, HEN THE PEOPLE DO IRRATIONAL THINGS. FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO THE MARKET NOW, OR THEY WON'T HAVE AN OPTION LATER. THE OPTION IS IF YOU HAVE A SHORT TERM YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT IT. AND IF YOU -- IF A RENTER LEAVES, YOU CAN RENT SHORT TERM, AND IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN RENT SHORT TERM IF I HAVE A SHORT TERM PERMIT, IT'S JUST AN OPTION FOR YOU, SO THERE'S MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT LEAVING IN A YEAR, OR MOVING. AND THEY WANT THAT AS AN OPTION AND THEY WILL GET IT NOW. AND I DON'T THINK THAT WILL GIVE US ACCURATE NUMBERS, TO DO THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO AND THE ECONOMY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S IN THE POSITION THAT IT'S IN NOW. I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE A TRIGGER, AND THEN IF WE GET UP TO 5 OR 6 HUNDRED, THEN IT COMES BACK TO US, AND YOU LET US KNOW, HEY, WE CREPT UP THE CHOICES THAT WE'RE MAKING OUR WORKING PEOPLE TO BUY INTO THE SYSTEM, AND UTILIZING IT. AND WE HAVE GOOD AND BAD ACTORS AND MANAGE THE SYSTEM, AND IT'S GLOWING, SO WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND SEE WHERE WE HAVE -- WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE, AND IF WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT DOING A CAP, THAT'S REASONABLE, I DON'T THINK THAT WE NEED TO CENTRAL PLAN TO THIS EXTENT, BECAUSE IT'S A FALSE MARKET. IF WE DO THAT. AND I'M NOT FOR THAT. >> DO YOU HAVE A NUMBER? TRIGGER THAT COMES BACK TO US. BECAUSE IT MEANS UTILIZING THE SYSTEM. TO WRITE YOU OFF FROM THE GENTLEMEN THAT HAVE THAT 3 HUNDRED FEET AWAY, HE'S GOING TO GRANDFATHER IT IN. AND I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WILL DO IT ILLEGALLY IF WE WANT TO. >> SO WHAT ABOUT -- I'LL GET TO YOU IN A SECOND. WHAT IF IT WAS FOUR HUNDRED AND EVERY TIME THAT THEY APPROVE THE APPLICATION, I ASSUME THAT THEY CAN LOOK INTO THE MAGIC COMPUTER, THEY CAN COME BACK TO COUNCIL IN THE LAST MEETING, AND SAY WE REACHED OUR LIMIT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? WOULD THAT BE DONE IN THE ORDINANCE? >> IT'S MORE OF ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTION THAT THE COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE, THAT THE ORDINANCE WILL HAVE THE CAP REMOVED AND THEN THE COUNCIL WILL SIMPLY GIVE THE STAFF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTION. THAT WE WOULD COME BACK FOR DIRECTION AT 4 HUNDRED. AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE WOULD ADD A PRECURSOR TO THAT. AND THAT'S A QUARTERLY REPORT. AND SHORT TERM RENTALS. AND FOR THE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ON, AND HOW MANY ARE IN THE APPROVAL. AND YOU JUST DIDN'T ARRIVE WITH FOUR HUNDRED, THAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE SOME REPORTING MECHANISM. YOU HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF THE HISTORY. AND HOW IT'S WORKING. FOR INSTANCE TO DO ALL OF THAT WORK. IT'S A DOABLE THING. >> DID IT GO ON THAT CAP? MS. WINTER, CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT? I WAS THINKING THAT THROUGH, I CAN LIVE WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK WITH THE REPORT, WE'RE GOING TO GET QUARTERLY REPORTS, BUT ALSO AN IDEA. WITH THE HOUSING STOCK, AND THE WHOLE PICTURE, SO THAT IT'S NOT JUST STRS THAT WE HAVE. WHAT'S OUR HOUSING. WE DON'T DO THAT FOR A LIVING, SO NORMALLY, WE GET THAT INFORMATION WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TAX CREDIT PROJECT AND WE HAVE TO DO THAT WITH THE PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT STAFF NORMALLY INVESTED IN. AND IF THE COUNCIL WANTS THAT. TO VOTE FOR IT. HAPPENED TO THE PERMITS? YOUR OFFICE? >> WE PRESENTED WITH THE COUNCIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WITH THE TRAJECTORY. TO SEE THE DOUBLING YEAR OVER YEAR IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, IN TERMS OF THE TOT AND APPLICATIONS AND PERMIT, SO WE WENT FROM ROUGHLY A DOZEN, AND A COUPLE OF DOZEN. >> TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T SEE US GOING THAT HIGH, OR GOING UP TO SIX HUNDRED IN THAT TOWN. >> TO OFFER CONTEXT. IT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR YOUR DISCUSSION, THAT WE DID SEND OUT 116 LETTERS ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHICH ARE SOFTWARE IDENTIFIED AND THOSE THAT ARE ADVERTISING ON LINE. AND OUT OF THE 160 LETTERS, WE TURNED TO THE APPLICATIONS OUT OF THE 160. AND 92 ARE ACTIVELY ADVERTISING. AND IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THAT'S FOR THE TOOL THAT WE HAVE. THAT'S HOW MANY OUT THERE ADVERTISING. AND WITH ONE NOTIFICATION, WE HAVE THREE APPLICATIONS, WE STILL HAVE 92 TO TRACK DOWN AND THAT ARE OUT THERE ADVERTISING AND OPERATING WITHOUT A PERMIT. THAT'S HELPFUL IN TERMS OF THE ENFORCEMENT, AND FOR THE NUMBER OF RENTALS, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY. >> WE HAVE TO GET THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TO GO AFTER THEM STRONGER. I DON'T THINK THAT A QUARTERLY REPORT IS NECESSARY. I THINK THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOO MUCH ON YOUR DEPARTMENT, AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S NEC
