WHEREAS,by the adoption of Ordinance No. 6299 on May 13,2014,the City Council of
the City of Anaheim ("City Council") added Chapter 4.05 (Short-Term Rentals) to Title 4
(Business Regulation) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code") for the purpose of
establishing a permit program for owners of residential dwelling units who rent, offer to rent, or
advertise for rent said dwelling units to a person or group of persons for occupancy, dwelling,
lodging or sleeping purposes for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, i.e.,
"Short-Term Rentals"; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 4.05 (Short-Term Rentals) is known and referred to as the "Short-
Term Rentals Ordinance"; and
WHEREAS,the Short-Term Rentals Ordinance,as subsequently amended by the adoption
of Ordinance No. 6317 on March 3,2015,permitted the short-term rental of dwelling units within
the Single-Family Residential Zone, the Multiple-Family Residential Zone and the Mixed Use
(MU) Overlay Zone, and established standards and regulations relating to the issuance of permits

also added "Short-Term Rental Units," as defined in Chapter 4.05 (Short-Term Rentals) of the
Code, as a permitted use within the Mixed Use(MU) Overlay Zone subject to a short-term rental
permit as provided in the Short-Term Rentals Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6343, an
urgency ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 for the purpose of
imposing a temporary 45-day moratorium, expiring on October 30, 2015, on the commencement,
establishment and/or operation of new Short-Term Rentals and on any applications for renewal of
Short-Term Rental Permits existing on the date of adoption of Ordinance No. 6343, pending
completion of the city's study of the potential impacts and regulation of Short-Term Rentals, and
possible amendments to the City's zoning ordinance and related provisions of the Code to ensure
that adequate development standards and implementation regulations,including possible repeal of
the Short-Term Rentals Ordinance and related provisions of the Code,were in effect to protect the
public peace, health, safety and/or welfare prior to any decision on future applications for Short-
Term Rentals; and
WHEREAS, on October 20, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6347 for the
purpose of extending all of the terms and provisions of Ordinance No. 6343 for a period of one
hundred eighty-six(186)days so that the interim measure would expire at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday,
May 3, 2016; and
WHEREAS, on April 12, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6369 for the
purpose of extending all of the terms and provisions of Ordinance No. 6343 for an additional one
(1) year period so that the interim measure would expire at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3,
2017; and
WHEREAS, on July 12, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6374 for the
purpose of revising the permit and regulation program for Short-Term Rentals and for the purpose
of establishing,with limited exceptions, that Short-Term Rentals will no longer be allowable uses
in certain zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, on July 12, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6375 for the
purposes of providing for the termination of Short-Term Rentals in certain zoning districts and
providing for a period of time for the owners of such Short-Term Rentals to amortize their
investments in Short-Term Rentals, including by applying for a"hardship extension" lengthening
the period of time the Short Term Rental is permitted to operate in order for the owner to recoup
his or her investment; and
WHEREAS,on August 12,2016,nine(9)individual and corporate plaintiffs,including the
California non-profit corporation the Anaheim Rental Alliance (the"Plaintiffs"), filed suit against
the city in Orange County Superior Court,Case No. 30-2016-00869305-CU-WM-CXC, Talmadge
Price et al. v. City of Anaheim (the "Action"), on behalf of Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rental
permit holders and tenants, challenging Ordinance Nos. 6374 and 6375 for alleged violations of
municipal, constitutional, statutory and common law; and
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2017, with a subsequent effective date of May 11, 2017, the City
settled the Action, which settlement was conditioned on the City Council's adoption of two
ordinances revising Ordinance Nos. 6374 and 6375; and
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6404 for the
purpose of revising the permit and regulation program set forth in Ordinance No. 6374, and
adopted Ordinance No. 6405 for the purpose of revising the amortization process set forth in
Ordinance No. 6375; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that in the years since the initial permitting
and regulation of Short-Term Rentals, the number of renewed permits and continuing operators
has diminished, and the complaints about their operations have declined due to more stringent
rules adopted via Ordinance Nos. 6374 and 6404; and
WHEREAS, the hardship extension applications of 244 Short-Term Rental operators are
under review by the City to determine their demonstrated hardship and therefore their amortization
period for operation after August 11, 2019; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the good faith efforts of the City and the hardship extension
applicants,there are significant disputed assumptions, questions,and variables associated with the
documentation and calculation of amortization periods. By way of examples, disputed issues
include: (i) the nature and sufficiency of documentation to demonstrate any particular expense or
hardship; (ii) the appropriate cost and valuation methodology, from among several options
recognized in the amortization literature, to apply to calculate a reasonable amortization period;
and(iii)the specific items of expense that are recoverable for purposes of calculating a reasonable
amortization period; and
WHEREAS, the Short-Term Rental hardship extension applicants have submitted
documentation which they assert supports an average of over 20 years of amortization,and further
contend that they were required to submit that documentation before the full magnitude of the
issues and costs attributable to the City's hardship process could be known; and
WHEREAS, the City's evaluators question the conclusions of the Short-Term Rental
hardship extension applicants regarding the recoverable amortization periods, and, while the
process is not complete, are likely to determine those periods to be shorter than those requested by
the Short-Term Rental operators; and
WHEREAS,the disputes over the proper amortization periods for Short-Term Rentals may
take years of review, oversight and administrative and judicial action to resolve, and engender
significant expenses, fees and costs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, in recognition of the reduced number of permitted Short-
Term Rentals, the decline in Short-Term Rental operating complaints and violations, and the
additional visitor housing and revenue afforded to the City by Short-Term Rentals, desires to
resolve the uncertainty, disruption, risk and expense that the administrative and judicial
adjudication of over 200 hardship extension applications will entail, and to instead modify the
termination and amortization period and process for the continued operation of certain defined
Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that different and unique factors and
circumstances exist with respect to Short-Term Rentals that are in communities governed by
homeowner's associations that have issued rules prohibiting Short-Term Rentals, and that there is
a public benefit in terminating Short-Term Rentals in those communities that are operating
contrary to such rules. In addition, such properties are generally attached units and therefore
engendered generally lower start up, operational and maintenance costs. Both of these factors
provide a fair and reasonable basis for affording such properties a termination and amortization
period and process that is different from those applicable to other Pre-Moratorium Short-Term
Rentals; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City's police power, as granted broadly under Article XI,
Section 7 of the California Constitution, this City Council has the authority to enact and enforce
ordinances and regulations for the public peace, health, safety and/or welfare of the City and its
residents; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(Public Resources Code
Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA") and the State of California Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act(commencing with Section 15000 of
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations;herein referred to as the"State CEQA Guidelines"),
the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents
for this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is not subject to
CEQA pursuant to Sections 15004, 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3), 15301,and 15332
of the State CEQA Guidelines,because: (a) it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment, there is no possibility that it may have a significant
effect on the environment, because it involves operation, permitting, leasing and/or licensing of
existing private structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former
use,and it is not a"project,"as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines;
(b) any City actions taken pursuant to this ordinance have already been the subject of past CEQA
compliance by the City or, pursuant to existing City law and process, require future CEQA
compliance by the City before they can be taken; and (c)the categorical exemptions from CEQA
for existing facilities and infill development are applicable to this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the regulation of Short-Term
Rental uses in accordance with this ordinance is a matter of citywide importance and necessary for
the preservation and protection of the public peace,health,safety and/or welfare of the community
and is a valid exercise of the local police power and in accord with the public purposes and
provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements.

of submission of the application for renewal, or at any time during the processing
of the application for renewal, the application meets the conditions of permit
issuance pursuant to Sections 4.05.040 and 4.05.060 and the operational
requirements of Section 4.05.100. Such approval shall be conditioned upon and
subject to compliance with the conditions identified by the Planning Director in the

4.05.180 TERMINATION AND AMORTIZATION OF PRE-MORATORIUM
SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
.010 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Chapter 4.05, which may allow
Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals as described in paragraph B of Section
4.05.020, subject to the hardship provisions that are further detailed in subsection
4.05.180.020, all such Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals are prohibited in zones
where residential uses are a permitted or conditionally permitted use after February
11, 2018 except as authorized by this subsection 4.05.180.010. The purpose of so
deferring the termination of Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals is to provide a
continuation of certain Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals and/or a reasonable
amortization period to the owners of properties with Pre-Moratorium Short-Term
Rentals within which they may recoup the costs they reasonably invested for short-
term rental use to the extent such costs could not already have been reasonably
recouped during the period of short-term rental use of the property and cannot be
recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated. The provisions of this
section shall supersede any other provisions of this code relating to the continuation
or amortization of a non-conforming use.
.0101 With the exception of this subsection 4.05.180.0101 and subsections
4.05.180.0102 and 4.05.180.0103, the provisions of this Section 4.05.180,
including without limitation the foregoing amortization period, shall not be
applicable to Qualifying Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals, CC&R Restricted
Short-Term Rentals or Pre-Moratorium Home Share Short-Term Rentals, even if
they are the subject of an application for hardship extension timely-filed with the
City under subsection 4.05.180.020; nor shall these provisions be applicable to
those short-term rentals within the C-G General Commercial Zone that have been
authorized pursuant to a conditional use permit approved in accordance with the
provisions of this code prior to the adoption of the moratorium on September 15,
2015.
.0102 CC&R Restricted Short-Term Rentals are prohibited in zones where
residential uses are a permitted or conditionally permitted use after December 31,
2022, and shall not continue to operate in such zones after this termination date.
Provided that the Short-Term Rental use is timely terminated by December 31,
2022 at the CC&R restricted location and that the Short-Term Rental permit is
current and in full force and effect (including payment of all applicable fees), and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, the holder of a permit for a
CC&R Restricted Short-Term Rental may, one time only, at any time before or
after the termination date, do one of the following:
(a) Subject to filing an application on a form approved by the Planning
Director and payment of all applicable fees,convey the existing Short-Term Rental
permit to a property that is not located in a community that has CC&Rs prohibiting
Short-Term Rentals, provided: (i) the new location for the Short-Term Rental use
is approved pursuant to the Minor Conditional Use Permit process set forth in
Chapter 18.66 of this Code, and, if the new property is a single family detached
residence,it is not within 250 feet(measured from the perimeter of the property)of
any existing Short-Term Rental property; or(ii) the permit holder obtains verified
written consent to the new Short-Term Rental location from all neighboring
property owners as provided in this paragraph,the new location for the Short-Term
Rental use is approved by the Planning Director in his discretion pursuant to the
Administrative Review process set forth in Chapter 18.62 of this Code, and the
Planning Director finds that the approval will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because there is no
possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment. For purposes
of this paragraph, verified written consent means such proof as the Planning
Director determines confirms the authenticity of the signatures and ownership
interests of 1) all property owners within 75 feet of the proposed new location of
the Short-Term Rental property (measured from the perimeter of the property) if
that property is a detached single family residence, or 2) any and all property
owners who share a common wall, ceiling and/or floor with, as well as any and all
property owners who are located within 25 feet (measured from the perimeter of
the property) of, the proposed new location of the Short-Term Rental property, if
that property is other than a detached single family residence, along with proof that
any existing homeowner's association has been notified of the proposed new
location of the Short-Term Rental property.
(b) Transfer the existing Short-Term Rental permit to another person who
may exercise the original permit holder's one-time opportunity to convey the
existing Short-Term Rental permit to a new location subject to the requirements of
subpart(a)of this subsection.
Following any transfer or conveyance authorized by this subsection .0102,
a Short-Term Rental permit shall only be transferable as provided in Section
4.05.070. The transferee of an existing Short-Term Rental permit transferred to
another person pursuant to this subsection shall file a change of ownership
application with the Planning Director, accompanied by the payment of such fee or
fees as may be established by resolution of the City Council. Such change of
ownership application shall contain information reasonably required by the
Planning Director, including, at a minimum, identification of the original property
to which the existing Short-Term Rental permit had attached,the number assigned
to the permit being transferred, the date of the transfer, and the printed names and
notarized signatures of the transferor and transferee as well as their contact
information. Once an existing Short-Term Rental permit is conveyed to another
property pursuant to this subsection,that new property shall be deemed to be a Pre-
Moratorium Short-Term Rental and a Qualifying Pre-Moratorium Short-Term
Rental.
.0103 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, and subject to
payment of all applicable fees, the holder of a permit for a Qualifying Pre-
Moratorium Short-Term Rental property may,on or before December 31,2019,file
an application for conveyance based on compatibility issues with the Planning
Director,on a form approved by the Planning Director. The Planning Director shall
have discretion under this subsection to approve the conveyance of up to five (5)
permits issued to Qualifying Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals that have proven
to create compatibility issues with the immediate neighbors or neighborhood in
which they exist, due to their size, location, design, layout of amenities, or
proximity to neighboring properties and/or the specific characteristics of the
neighborhood in which they are located. If the Planning Director approves a
conveyance request pursuant to this subsection, the permit holder may exercise a
one-time opportunity to convey the existing Short-Term Rental permit to another
property, provided i) the new property is not located in a community that has
CC&Rs prohibiting Short-Term Rentals,ii)the new property is not within 250 feet
(measured from the perimeter of the property) of any existing Short-Term Rental
property, iii)the new Short-Term Rental unit does not exceed the square footage of
the previous Short-Term Rental unit by more than 15%, and iv) the new location
for the Short-Term Rental use is approved pursuant to the Minor Conditional Use
Permit process set forth in Chapter 18.66 of this Code. Any conveyance undertaken
pursuant to this subsection must be completed, and the new Short-Term Rental use
established, on or before December 31, 2022. The Short-Term Rental use must be
terminated at the original location prior to establishment of the Short-Term Rental
use at the new location. In addition, a person or entity that holds permits for
multiple Qualifying Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rentals may only file one (1)
conveyance application under this subsection. Once an existing Short-Term Rental
permit is conveyed to another property pursuant to this subsection, that new
property shall be deemed to be a Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rental and a
Qualifying Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rental.
.015 In the event an owner believes that termination of the short-term rental
use within the period provided in subsection .010 of this section will not provide
the owner a reasonable period of time within which to recoup the costs the owner
reasonably invested for short-term rental use, and that such costs cannot be
recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated, the owner may apply to the
Planning Director for an eighteen (18) month affidavit extension. The Planning
Director shall approve the affidavit extension for the additional eighteen (18)
months (until August 11, 2019) if the owner (i) has paid any applicable filing fee
for the affidavit extension, (ii) has a short-term rental permit or valid pending
application and/or has applied for and/or received any applicable renewal permit,
(iii) is not the subject of a revocation proceeding in connection with the short-term
rental property, (iv)has passed or is awaiting final inspection for the first renewal
inspection following the adoption of Ordinance No. 6374 addressing compliance
with building standards and health and safety codes concerning the short-term
rental, (v) has paid all known applicable transient occupancy taxes for the short-
term rental, (vi)has paid any fines relating to notices of violations or citations that
are final for the short-term rental, and (vii) signs a declaration under penalty of
perjury that the owner cannot recoup the costs reasonably invested for short-term
rental use of the property if the short-term rental use is not allowed after February
11,2018, and(viii) completes, submits and signs under penalty of perjury the form
provided by the city for the affidavit extension which makes a prima facie showing
of the facts set forth in subparagraph (vii). Unless extended by the Planning
Director, the application for an affidavit extension shall be filed by May 22, 2017.
The duties and responsibilities of the Planning Director under this section may be
performed by the Planning Director's designee.
.020 In the event an owner believes that termination of the short-term rental
use within the periods provided in subsections .010 and .015 of this section will not
provide an owner a reasonable period of time within which to recoup the costs an
owner reasonably invested for short-term rental use, and that such costs cannot be
recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated, an owner may apply to the
Planning Director for a hardship extension. The duties and responsibilities of the
Planning Director under this section may be performed by the Planning Director's
designee. The application for a hardship extension shall be made, processed, and
acted on in accordance with the following provisions:
.0201 Not later than April 10, 2017,unless the Planning Director, in his or
her sole discretion, extends the deadline for filing such an application, an owner
with a short-term rental permit or valid pending application may file an application
with the Planning Director for the hardship extension, along with such fee or fees
as may be established by the City Council by resolution. The owner shall sign the
application under penalty of perjury. The application, which the owner may
continue to supplement with additional information and documents until the
effective date of Ordinance 6405, shall set forth the amount of additional time that
the owner contends is necessary,beyond the period provided in subsection .010 of
this section,to recoup the costs the owner reasonably invested for short-term rental
use which cannot be recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated. The
application shall fully set forth the owner's justification for such additional time
and shall also include the following information:
(a) The date the property was acquired by the owner, the price and
other terms of the acquisition that materially affected the price, and the purpose for
which the property was acquired by the owner. If the property was acquired by a
means other than an arms-length purchase (including without limitation a gift or
inheritance), then the owner shall provide information concerning the most recent
arms-length purchase involving the property.
(b) Each use the owner has made of the property since the owner's
acquisition and the period of each such use.
(c) A detailed listing of expenditures made by the owner for capital
improvements to the property for the purpose of putting the property to short-term
rental use, since it was acquired, including the purpose of each expenditure, the
amount, the date, the payee, and any other relevant information for each
expenditure. The owner shall provide receipts, executed construction contracts
and/or other written proof of each expenditure.
(d) A detailed listing of expenditures made by the owner for capital
improvements to the property other than those made for the purpose of putting the
property to short-term rental use, since it was acquired, including the purpose of
each expenditure, the amount, the date, the payee, and any other relevant
information for each expenditure. The owner shall provide receipts or other written
proof of the each expenditure.
(e) A detailed listing of all expenditures incurred by the owner for
the purpose of putting the property to short-term rental use, other than capital
expenditures, including the purpose of each expenditure, the amount, the date, the
payee, and any other relevant information for each expenditure. The owner shall
provide receipts or other written proof of each expenditure.
(f) A detailed listing of all gross receipts received in connection
with the use of the property for short-term rental purposes during such time as it
was lawful to use the property for such purposes.
(g) For each short-term rental use that has been made of the property
since such uses were permitted, the owner shall provide details on the duration of
the rental,the amount of rent and other payments made to the owner for the rental,
and the expenses directly associated with that rental (including but not limited to
commission fees). The owner shall provide the date the property first was used as
a short-term rental, the number of days that the property has been occupied as a
short-term rental since that use commenced, and the average rent paid per day for
short-term rental use since that use commenced. The owner shall state whether
during the period that short-term rental use has been allowed for the property, the
property has been put to any other uses(including without limitation residential use
by the owner or others) and, if so, detail the number of days for each such use and
any income generated from each such use.
(h) A detailed projection of the income and expenses that are
anticipated if the requested hardship extension is approved.
(i) An identification and description of any contracts with third
parties that commit the property to a future short-term rental use to a third party,
including the dates of the committed use, the rental to be charged for the use, and
any other relevant information relating to the contracted future use. The owner
shall provide written evidence of the contacts identified.
(j) An identification and description of any long term commitments,
whether leases, mortgages, or other commitments, that have been made by the
owner in reliance on the ability to use the property for short-term rental purposes.
The owner shall provide written documentation for each such commitment.
(k) The fair market value of the short-term rental property as of
August 11, 2016, had there been no prohibition on short-term-rentals in zones
permitting or conditionally permitting residential uses compared to the fair market
value of the short-term rental property as of August 11,2016,if sold for non-short-
term rental use. The owner shall provide the factual basis and analysis
substantiating these values, including comparable sales information, income
approach elements and/or cost approach elements.
(1) Whether there has been or will be an increment in value accruing
to the property as a result of the ban on new short-term rental properties that became
effective on August 11, 2016, which ban limits the number of short-term rentals
available in the city,and the factual basis and analysis substantiating that increment
in value.
(m) Whether there has been or will be an increment in potential
monthly rental income that the short-term rental property could generate from
short-term rental use for the remaining period of allowed short-term rental use, by
having a pre-moratorium right to short-term rental use while other properties (in
zones permitting or conditionally permitting residential uses) could not be used for
short-term rental purposes,other than those properties that benefitted from the pre-
moratorium right to short-term rental use. If so,the owner shall provide the factual
basis and analysis substantiating the increment in potential monthly income for the
period of permitted use.
(n) The amortized or depreciated value of the short-term rental
property used for tax purposes.
(o) A financial analysis demonstrating the amount of time that will
be required for the owner to recoup the costs reasonably invested for short-term
rental use to the extent such costs could not already have been reasonably recouped
during the period of short-term rental use of the property and cannot be recouped
once the short-term rental use is terminated. The analysis should identify reference
sources for each item of data included and set forth the basis for all assumptions
made. The Planning Director may provide the owner with a requested form and/or
format for the financial analysis, and if provided, such form and/or format shall be
completed and submitted by the owner.
After receiving a timely filed application,the Planning Director may request
any additional information reasonably necessary to ascertain relevant facts and
circumstances; and if requested, the owner shall provide the requested information
within thirty (30) calendar days of the Planning Director's request, unless the
Planning Director provides for a longer period. The Planning Director may deem
an application to be incomplete, and return it to the owner for additional
information, if the information set forth in the application is not provided in a
manner that is comprehensive and understandable and that demonstrates how the
factual information provided leads to the conclusion that the requested hardship
extension is necessary. If an application is returned as incomplete, the owner shall
correct the deficiencies and provide the requested information within thirty (30)
calendar days of the Planning Director's request, unless the Planning Director
provides for a longer period. The Planning Director,in his or her sole and absolute
discretion,may waive one or more of the items listed above if he or she determines
the purpose and intent of the amortization provisions of this section can be
adequately achieved without the submittal of such item(s), but no waiver shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the Planning Director.
.0202 The burden shall be on the owner to establish the need and grounds
for a hardship extension and to establish the reasonableness of the requested
duration of the extension. Any alleged hardship that is based upon action or
expenditures not reasonably taken or made in light of the circumstances, shall not
be grounds for an extension. Any expenses for modifications or improvements to
the short-term rental property incurred after August 11,2016 shall be presumed not
to be reasonably incurred unless (i) the owner proves that they were reasonably
necessary to operate the short-term rental in a way that would ultimately reduce the
duration of the extension otherwise necessary, because the modifications or
improvements will allow for quicker recoupment of the owner's qualifying costs,
or (ii) the expenditures were incurred in order to satisfy fire-safety requirements
that were not in place before August 11, 2016, or (iii) the expenditures were
incurred in order to satisfy a requirement of the city on the continued use and
operation of the property. If there is a sale of the short-term rental property after
August 11, 2016, the costs to be considered for purposes of a hardship extension
shall be those of the owner prior to August 11,2016,and the new owner's purchase
price and costs shall not be a basis of qualifying for a hardship extension. The
Planning Director shall approve an extension upon determining that the owner has
shown that since the commencement of the use of the owner's property as a short-
term rental property,the owner has not had and will not have,within the time limit
set forth in Section .010 above, plus any affidavit extensions provided under
Section .015 above, a reasonable period of time within which to recoup the costs
the owner reasonably invested for short-term rental use, and that the costs cannot
be recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated. In the event an extension
is approved, the Planning Director may not approve an extension of time longer
than is necessary to allow the owner a reasonable time for recoupment of such costs.
The determination of the extension of time permitted includes a process of
weighing the public gain to be derived from a speedy removal of the nonconforming
use against the private loss which removal of the use would entail.
.0203 In determining whether the owner has had and will have a reasonable
period of time for recoupment of costs, the Planning Director shall consider the
period of time that the owner has had for short-term rental use since the owner
began to incur such costs as well as the time available for continued short-term
rental use under Section.010 above along with the available affidavit extension. In
addition to the information contained in the application submitted by the owner,the
Planning Director may consider such additional competent and relevant
information that the Planning Director may obtain by staff investigation or from
other sources as the Planning Director may choose to consult or obtain; however,
the Planning Director shall not be obligated to conduct any independent
investigation or to seek information outside the scope of the owner's application.
Upon request of the Planning Director, the owner shall be reasonably available to
respond to questions or to review and discuss relevant information.
.0204 In considering the application and making a decision, the Planning
Director may take into account all relevant information that relates to the
determination of whether the owner has had or will have a reasonable period of
time to recoup the costs the owner reasonably invested for short-term rental use,
and that the costs cannot be recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated,
including but not limited to any of the following matters he or she deems relevant:
(a) The information submitted in the owner's application.
(b) The period of time that the owner has had for short-term rental
use since the owner began to incur such costs.
(c) The amount of investment or original cost incurred by the owner.
(d) The fair market value of the short-term rental property as of
August 11, 2016, had there been no prohibition on short-term-rentals in zones
permitting or conditionally permitting residential uses compared to the fair market
value of the short-term rental property as of August 11,2016,if sold for non-short-
term rental use.
(e) The increase in value that the property benefitted from due to
the market for real estate in the area, independent of any added increase that may
have occurred as a result of the availability of the property for short-term rental use.
(0 Any increment of value that the property received by having a
pre-moratorium right to short-term rental use while other properties (in zones
permitting or conditionally permitting residential use) could not be put to short-
term rental use, other than those that benefitted from the pre-moratorium right to
short-term rental use.
(g) Any increment in potential income that the property could
generate from short-term rental use by having a pre-moratorium right to short-term
rental use while other properties (in zones permitting or conditionally permitting
residential use) could not be put to short-term rental use, other than those that
benefitted from the pre-moratorium right to short-term rental use.
(h) The income potential of the property since it was allowed to be
used for short-term rental purposes and the income actually received by the owner
from short-term rental use since it was allowed to be used for short-term rental
purposes.
(i) Any amortization or depreciation of the improvements to the
property that has been prepared for tax purposes.
(j) The extent of the owner's investment that is unique to the short-
term rental use and does not serve any conforming use of the property.
(k) The extent of the owner's investment that will not be recovered
on sale of the property.
(1) The owner's investment-backed expectations in light of current
and pending regulation at the time that the investment was made.
(m) Replacement cost of improvements that might have been made
that only serve the short-term rental use; and the length of time that the owner has
had the benefit of the investment before the termination of the use.
(n) Any other information that bears upon the reasonable period of
time for the owner of a Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rental to recoup the costs
reasonably invested for short-term rental use to the extent such costs could not
already have been reasonably recouped during the period of short-term rental use
of the property and cannot be recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated.
.0205 A decision by the Planning Director to deny an application for a
hardship extension, in whole or in part, or to limit the duration of an extension to a
shorter period than requested by the owner,may be appealed by the owner pursuant
to the provisions established in Section 4.05.150 (Appeals and Administrative
Hearing Procedure for Administrative Determinations) of this chapter, subject to
the following additional provisions. At the city's option and expense, the hearing
may be conducted by (i) the Employee Hearing Officer, or (ii) the City Hearing
Officer,as defined in paragraph.0101 of subsection.010 of Section 1.12.110 of the
code, or (iii) an economist or accounting professional who is experienced in
accounting methodology and practice, or, if the parties stipulate, to such other
person as may be mutually agreeable(each of these is hereinafter referred to as the
"Hearing Officer"). The Hearing Officer shall conduct the hearing, receive
evidence and make the final decision on behalf of the city. The deadline for filing
an appeal shall be thirty(30) calendar days after the date the written notice of the
Planning Director's decision is mailed(via first class delivery)to the owner. Such
an appeal may be filed only if the owner timely submitted a complete application
to the Planning Director for a hardship extension. The Hearing Officer shall
conduct a de novo appeal hearing;however,the owner may not submit information
to the Hearing Officer other than that which was submitted to the Planning Director
in connection with the owner's application for hardship extension, except to the
extent the information could not have reasonably been provided to the Planning
Director with the application or to the extent that the information is necessary to
rebut or respond to information submitted by the city or any other person to the
Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer's decision shall be based on all relevant
information,including the categories of information set forth in paragraph .0204 of
subsection.020 of Section 4.05.180. The burden shall be on the owner to establish
the need and grounds for the hardship extension and to establish the reasonableness
of the requested duration of the extension. Any hardship that is based upon actions
or expenditures not reasonably taken or incurred in light of the circumstances shall
not be grounds for an extension. Any expenses for modifications or improvements
to the short-term rental property incurred after August 11,2016, shall be presumed
not to be reasonably incurred unless(i)the owner proves that they were reasonably
necessary to operate the short-term rental in a way that would ultimately reduce the
duration of the extension otherwise necessary, because the modifications or
improvements will allow for quicker recoupment of the owner's qualifying costs,
or (ii) the expenditures were incurred in order to satisfy fire-safety requirements
that were not in place before August 11, 2016, or (iii) the expenditures were
incurred in order to satisfy a requirement of the city on the continued use and
operation of the property. If there is a sale of the short-term rental property after
August 11, 2016, the costs to be considered for purposes of a hardship extension
shall be those of the owner prior to August 11, 2016, plus those subsequently
incurred costs, if any, authorized by this paragraph, and the new owner's purchase
price and costs shall not be a basis of qualifying for a hardship extension.
.0206 An owner may designate in a hardship extension application filed
in accordance with subsection 4.05.180.020.0201, or by other written notice to the
Planning Director, filed prior to the deadline for filing a hardship extension
application that the owner is applying for a hardship extension pursuant to a
"capped extension" process. If an owner timely does so, and the owner is granted
a hardship extension for an additional two (2) years beyond August 11, 2019 (i.e.,
until August 11,2021)pursuant to the capped extension process,the owner waives
the right to claim a hardship extension beyond that period. The Planning Director
shall not be obligated to grant any extension pursuant to a capped extension process.
If the Planning Director (or his/her designee) does not grant an extension for an
additional two (2) years beyond August 11, 2019, the decision shall not be
appealable, and the owner's application shall be processed pursuant to the
otherwise applicable hardship extension application process. In such case, the
owner shall have a right to supplement the owner's hardship extension application
within 30 days of being provided notice that the requested two (2) year extension
has not been granted pursuant to the capped extension process. The Planning
Director or his/her designee may grant an extension for an additional two (2)years
beyond August 11, 2019 pursuant to the capped extension process if the Planning
Director or his/her designee determines that the hardship extension application
contains substantial evidence to establish that the owner has not had and will not
have,prior to August 11,2021, sufficient time within which to recoup the costs the
owner reasonably invested for short-term rental use, and that the costs cannot be
recouped once the short-term rental use is terminated.
.0207 Upon the conclusion of the amortization period, including any
hardship extension or affidavit extension,the Pre-Moratorium Short-Term Rental use shall
cease. Thereafter,the owner's property may be used as a long-term residence, a long-term
residential rental, or for any other lawfully permitted or conditionally permitted use in the
zone.
