operation, hybrid ownership, the potential generation of large
numbers of people and vehicles, and the potential impact on the
City's tourism -related facilities, special criteria are warranted
for the development of vacation ownership resorts in addition to
the requirements of the underlying zone.
.020 Limits on Occupancy. Occupancy, or right of occupancy,
of any vacation ownership resort unit (including different units
within the same facility) in a vacation ownership resort facility
by a person or entity shall be limited to no more than thirty
(30) consecutive days nor more than a total of sixty (60) days
during any consecutive twelve (12) month period. Units which do
not meet such criteria shall be considered to be residential
units and shall be prohibited.
.030 Required Zoning. Vacation ownership resorts and
conversions to vacation ownership resorts shall be permitted only
in the Theme Park, Hotel and Future Expansion Districts subject
to the requirements of Section 18.78.050.020 entitled "LIMITATION
ON TOTAL NUMBER OF HOTEL GUEST ROOMS OR SUITES" of this Chapter
and the C-R Overlay subject to the requirements of Section
18.78.120.050 entitled "DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS" of this Chapter.
.040 Related Uses. Vacation ownership resorts may include
other uses, either as accessory uses to the vacation ownership
resort use or as independent facilities, so long as the specific
use is allowed by the relevant District or C-R Overlay
designation. Such uses shall meet all City laws and requirements.
.050 Development Standards. The development standards
established in the relevant District or C-R Overlay designation
shall be applicable to vacation ownership resorts and the
conversion of existing facilities to vacation ownership resort
use. For the C-R Overlay, additional requirements may be imposed
as follows:
.0501 Setback, height, landscaping, signage requirements
and recreational amenities. Additional
restrictions may be required to ensure that the
61
A
facility is adequately buffered from surrounding
uses.
.0502 Parking. Additional parking may be required if the
design of the facility and units indicates that
additional parking is necessary.
.0503 Required facilities. The Planning Commission
and/or City Council may require the provision of
facilities, amenities, or design features usually

to ensure that the vacation ownership resort will
adequately function in the same manner as a
hotel/motel facility.
.0504 Kitchen facilities suitable for visitors may be
permitted by the conditional use permit permitting
the vacation ownership resort.
.060 Conversion to Vacation Ownership Uses. The following
standards shall apply to conversions of existing facilities to
vacation ownership resort uses. Any conversion of an existing
facility to vacation ownership resort use shall be required to
meet the same standards as new facilities.

facility to vacation ownership resort use shall be
subject to the approval of a conditional use
permit. Conversion shall be evaluated in terms of
the physical suitability of the units or
facilities for vacation ownership resort use.
Items to be considered shall include the general
maintenance and upkeep of the structures; general
physical condition of the facility; age of the
structures; suitability of the units for the type
of occupancy proposed; the age, condition, and
general repair of any recreational facility; and
conformance with appropriate building, safety and
fire standards. The facility shall be upgraded to
mitigate any identified deficiencies. Conversions
shall also be evaluated to ensure that the
conversion does not create or add to the shortage
of the particular type of unit proposed to be
converted in the City as a whole or in any
particular area of the City.
.0602 All facilities converted to vacation ownership
resort use shall meet all applicable City
M
I
requirements, including building, safety, and fire
standards, as well as the other requirements of
this Section.
.0603 Conversions which would significantly reduce the
overall number of conventional overnight
accommodations in the City for visitors shall not
be allowed. The effect of the conversion on
existing conventional overnight accommodations
shall be quantified by means of a survey. The
survey shall include a representative sample of
the existing unit supply in terms of location,
price and type of unit.
