Challenging to Investors
STRs are not prohibited but lack a dedicated city ordinance, leaving legality and approvals tied to underlying zoning and a narrow Bed‑&‑Breakfast framework; investors must verify zoning and obtain business licenses, potential zoning clearances or use permits, and confirm/collect TOT. The SB 9 prohibition on stays under 30 days adds operational limits and compliance risk, and the lack of codified STR rules increases uncertainty, making it more challenging than a clean, permit‑lite market.
