Special City Council Hearing on Vacation Rentals for Oct. 23rd Is Cancelled

A special hearing by the San Diego City Council set for Monday, October 23rd, on deciding policy on short term vacation rentals has been cancelled. The cancellation – or ‘adjournment’ – was basically due to a last-minute memo from the City Attorney’s Office that raised legal questions about elements of the proposed ordinances by various members of the Council.

Mrytle Cole, President of the City Council, issued a Memo on Thursday, October 19th, that stated in part:

This Special Meeting on the topic of an Amendment to the City’s Municipal Code and Local Coastal Program to Include Regulations for Home Share and Short Term Residential Occupancy is being adjourned to allow City staff time to perform additional work on this item in response to issues raised by the City Attorney’s office in their memo dated October 17, 2017, entitled “Response to Councilmembers’ Memoranda Re: Proposed Short Term Rental Policies.”

The Special Meeting will be rescheduled for a future date and time.
