DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: UPDATE REGARDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN THE R-1
ZONE.
SUBMITTED BY: Tony Bagato
Principal Planner
DATE: February 16, 2010
Discussion:
Based on the discussion at the January 19th, 2010, Planning Commission meeting, staff
is working with the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for City Council consideration
to prohibit short-term rentals in non-gated communities by only allowing them in gated
communities through a modification to Palm Desert Municipal Code Title 5 Business
Licensing and Taxing process. If approved, staff will return to the Planning Commission
with a zoning ordinance amendment that will remove the requirement for a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) in the R-1 zone and prohibit all short-term rentals in non-gated
communities residential.
