+ SDSTRA Virtual Meetup Moved to Tuesday, 4/9, to prepare ahead of council meeting
On Wednesday, April 3, the Mission Beach Town Board voted to send a resolution to Town Council recommending the following changes to the STR ordinance.
- Restrict Tier 3 & 4 licenses to a natural person with an ownership interest in the property.
- Restrict Tier 3 & 4 licenses to 25% of units in a parcel (or 2 units, whichever is greater).
- If a license is revoked, no new licenses shall be issued on the parcel for one year.
- Provide the platforms with a list of valid STR licenses and exempted properties (hotels) against which the platforms must validate listings.
- Enforce the ordinance and penalize the platforms with specific fines for non-compliance.
- Require Tier 2 hosts to report booking activity to the City.
What this means for Mission Beach STR hosts and owners:
Next, the recommendations will move on to the Town Council.
The Town Council will likely vote on this next week, April 10, at 6 PM. If the Town Council votes to pass the recommendations, they would move on to the City Council.
Members of the public can attend and join via Zoom or in person at Belmont Park Community Room. While the meeting is available to the public, only active MCTC members can vote on resolutions. To be active, you must be a member for at least 30 days to be eligible to vote.
We’re encouraging everyone to attend the meeting in person. To accommodate, we’ve moved our virtual happy hour to Tuesday, April 9 at 5 PM. During this event, we’ll provide a detailed update on both Mission and Pacific Beach STR recommendations.
