Coastal City Defies Coastal Commission On Overnight Rentals
Written by 991KBU on July 18, 2018
A coastal community near San Diego has told the California coastal commission that it will adopt a crackdown against overnight rentals … no matter what the commission says.
Del Mar City council members voted to reject requests from the coastal commission to water down the city’s proposed short-term rental ordinance.
Said the mayor of Del Mar … quote … “Standing up for what matters is in our DNA.
“We can’t let short-term rentals swallow up our neighborhoods.”
A city council member said “It isn’t noise, it isn’t traffic, it isn’t garbage,.
“It’s about having a business there (in residential neighborhoods).”
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Del Mar council decided last year to limit the rentals to a minimum of seven days at a time, and no more than 28 days per year.
Coastal didn’t like that .. they said no.
The city is challenging that.
The state agency has told Malibu that short-term rentals are a way to increase low-cost beach access.
The average air B and B rental in Malibu goes for $546 a night … according to the website air DNA.
