Item 08 Second Reading of Ordinance for Land Development Code Amendment to Article II, Section 2-4, Definitions, and Article V, Section 5-15 Specific Use/Development Standards, Relating to Tourist Homes/Vacation Homes/Short-Term Rental UnitsMeeting Date: June 21, 2022 Item # Reviewed By: q Contact Name: Anoch Whitfield, Zoning Director: Mike Rum_ e Contact Number: Ext. 1016 City Manager: RoZlgh ZI Subject: LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (LDC) AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 11, SECI6N24, AND ARTICLE V, SECTION 5-15 RELATING TO TOURIST HOMES Background Summary: This item had a First Reading on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. The City has been experiencing a greater interest and influx of property owners and investors wanting to operate tourist homes or vacation rental units in the City. Section 509.032(7), Florida Statutes (FS), preempts the City's ability to prohibit vacation rentals or to regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation units if local Codes were not already in place prior to 2011. Because the City had provisions in place regarding tourist homes since September 15, 1970, by Ordinance No. 516, including the number of rooms that could be offered for rent and requirements for parking and tax classification for lodging establishments based on the number of rooms or rental spaces with fewer than five (5) rooms, the City has the ability to update its Code in a manner that does not violate the preemption. The attached ordinance details the proposed LDC amendments; however, below is a summary of the changes. Amendments to Article II, Section 2-4. Definitions: o Clarify existing definition of tourist home, and o Create two (2) new definitions: ® "Transient guest" — The existing tourist home definition makes reference to "transient guests", but there is currently no definition for what a transient guest means, and ® "Vacation and short-term rental" — To refer readers doing keyword searches for "vacation rentals" in the Code to refer to the "tourist home" definition. Amendments to Article V, Section 5-15. Specific Use/Development Standards: Create a new Subsection 5-15(C) to establish the standards and a process for tourist homes, including: o A no -cost application for Tourist Home Local Business Tax Receipt and Certificate, o Payment of local taxes per Chapter 119 of the Code of Ordinances and obtaining a Tourist Home Certificate (updated annually), o Identification of a Responsible Party (which may be the tourist homeowner, property owner, or other person or entity) to ensure compliance with all state and local codes and regulations, including all requirements of the City's residential district standards, o Clarification of existing parking requirements, o Building and Fire safety inspections, and o Ability of the Development Services Director to revoke the Certificate or pursue other remedies if the provisions in Section 5-15 and the Certificate are violated. Based on a preliminary inventory conducted by staff, the existing tourist homes and short-term rental units offered or available for rent include rooms in a house, entire houses, boathouses, and tiny homes. While the City does not desire to prevent or otherwise stop the operation of tourist homes and other short-term rentals, there is a recognized need to establish standards to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the public and reduce or eliminate adverse impacts to those property owners or residents residing adjacent to or near a tourist home or other short-term rentals. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve an Ordinance implementing amendments to Section 2-4 of Article II and Section 5-15 of Article V of the Land Development Code (LDC) relating to regulation of tourist homes? Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) reviewed and discussed proposed LDC amendments on April 12, 2022, and May 10, 2022, and recommend approval of the proposed Ordinance. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve the Ordinance implementing amendments to Section 2-4 of Article II and Section 5-15 of Article V of the Land Development Code (LDC) relating to regulation of tourist homes.

This legislation, however, states that this paragraph does not apply to any local law, ordinance, or regulation adopted on or before June 1,2011. What this meant, or at least implied at the time, was that the State prohibited local governments from restricting, regulating or prohibiting vacation rentals based solely on their classification, use or occupancy but did not prohibit local governments from regulating other aspects or impacts of vacation rentals. Below ionew language copied from HB8O3.

Senate Bill 356 (Chapter 2014-71 Laws of Florida, Signed June 13, 2014, Effective July 1, 2014) Subsequently, in 2014, the State passed HB 356 that further amended 509.032(b), F.S., to add more restrictions on local governments by requiring that local governments may not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration (the length of stay) or frequency (how often a room or unit gets rented out) of rental of vacation rentals. See 2014 HB 356 excerpt below: (7) PREEMPTION AUTHORITY. — (a) The regulation of public lodging establishments and public food service establishments, including, but not limited to, sanitation standards, inspections, training and testing of personnel, and matters related to the nutritional content and marketing of foods offered in such establishments, is preempted to the state. This paragraph does not preempt the authority of a local government or local enforcement district to conduct inspections of public lodging and public food service establishments for compliance with the Florida Building Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code, pursuant to ss. 553.80 and 633.206, (b) A local law, ordinance, or regulation may not restrict the ^. • of e-ation rentals, prohibit vacation rentals, or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals based sole!y on their elassiflcat' , ., or oeetipaney.

This language has remained unchanged since 2014. Below is the current language: (7) PREEMPTION AUTHORITY.

FINDINGS Below are existing City Codes and Florida Statutes that can be used to help develop standards for regulating vacation and short-term rentals. The City has had provisions in Code regarding tourist homes since September 15, 1970 (Ordinance No. 516). a. City Code of Ordinances: Section 119-1. — Levy of tax. "The City hereby levies an occupational license tax upon every person exercising the privilege of engaging in or carrying on any business, profession or occupation within the City and authorizes the issuance of occupational licenses as authorized by Chapter 205, FS." Section 119-5. Classifications subject to tax, amount of tax. The City currently has a tax classification for lodging establishments based on the number of rooms or rental spaces. Fewer than 5 rooms or rental spaces is $78.15. b. City LDC: i. Section 2-4(306) Tourist Home. There is currently a definition for tourist homes, as follows: "A dwelling in which sleeping accommodations in not more than four (4) rooms are provided or offered for transient guests for compensation." Section 6-4G(1)(c). The Parking Code currently establishes a parking ratio for tourist homes as follows: one (1) space per bedroom and one (1) space for the resident owner/manager. iii. Section 5-13. Uses Accessory to Residential Uses. The current Code allows accessory apartments, garage apartments and guest cottages on a residential lot so long as such accessory dwelling does not exceed 600 SF and meets the building setback requirements of the principal structure. iv. Section 6-15. Multi family Development Standards. Short term rentals are expressly prohibited in a multi- family development that are under fee simple ownership or condominium form of ownership. c. Florida Statutes: i. Section 509.013(4)(a) Public Lodging Establishments. Florida Statutes establishes a distinction between "transient public lodging establishments" and "non -transient public lodging establishments" as follows: • Transient public lodging establishments: Renting of rooms or units to guests more than 3 times in a calendar year for a period of less than 30 days or 1 month, whichever is less. Advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests. • Non -transient public lodging establishments": Renting of rooms or units to guests for a period of at least 30 days or 1 month, whichever is less. Advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests for a period of at least 30 days or 1 calendar month. • Does not apply to facilities or establishments licensed or regulated by AHCA or the Department of Health (so, does not apply to community residential homes and ALFs serving 6 or fewer residents per s. 419.001, FS) • Does not apply to units or groups of units rented for periods of at least 30 days or 1 calendar month, whichever is less, that are not advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented for periods of less than 1 calendar month (but no more than 4 rental units in a single building complex) Section 509.032(7)(a) Preemption Authority. State preemption on vacation rentals is relative to prohibition of vacation rentals and the ability to regulate duration and frequency. It does not state that local governments cannot regulate impacts, and it does not apply to the local government's or local enforcement district's authority to conduct inspections of public lodging establishments for compliance with the Florida Building Code and Florida Fire Prevention Code. Short Term Rentals Vacation Rentals III. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LDC UPDATES Based on the findings above, staff makes the following recommendations. a) Amend Section 2-4, Article II, Definitions, to update the existing tourist home definition and add a definition for "transient guest" using existing definitions in Florida Statues as follows: (306) Tourist Home. A dwelling, building or structure in which sleeping accommodations in not more than four (4) rooms are provided or offered for transient guests for compensation. Tourist homes must meet the home s • ' (307) Transient Guest. A uest occupying a tourist home, vacation rental unit or o or othe Floridaestablishment, as defined in Section 509.013(4), s occupiedoccupancv will be tern orary and such unit or roorn is not the sole residence of the gugst. b) Amend Section 5-15. Specific use/development standards to create a new sub -section for tourist homes. Below are recommended regulations that are intended to alleviate adverse impacts of tourist homes on surrounding neighborhood without regulating duration or frequency. § 5-15. — SPECIFIC USE/DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
