Dear STR folks.
We look forward to the zoom meeting tomorrow at 5:30PM. Just an update on the format of the meeting.

"Staff will provide a brief presentation about how we got to where we are, and what we hope to accomplish – which is to hear from the community what is working and what isn’t working with the current regulations. There will be breakout rooms for attendees with one staff member per room who will act only as a facilitator to ensure everyone has a chance to provide feedback. After the breakout sessions each staff member will report back to the larger group what was heard/discovered in their group.

Registration is not mandatory as the link is provided in all promotions. We hope that folks will register so that we have enough staff to allow for comfortably sized breakout groups. If too many interested parties show up without having registered, the groups could become quite large which could result in less opportunity for discussion between group members. Anyone who is interested is welcome but our main goal is to hear from City residents and current and hopeful owner/operators of STRs in the City. It will be ideal if we discover some common ground and work toward collaboration."

So it is important you register now at event drive by filling out the from on the hyperlink below.

Dear STR folks, Just a quick update for the upcoming meeting on Nov 14th.
1)
If you are on District 4 please vote for Terry Sanders as he's the only candidate "neutral" on Short term rentals. All others voiced their stand against STRs. We need government that can at least listen to the grievances of their represented community

2)
If you have not done so already please fill out the STR survey asap by clicking link below

3)
For the Nov 14th meeting you need to register on Eventbrite to get a ticket to participate in the meeting (another obstacle thrown in to complicate your participation). The link to get a ticket is below. It only takes a minute

4)
We need more representation pro-STR. If you have any businesses your guests visit such as restaurants, wineries, salons, etc. please reach out to them and ask them to call the meeting with Pro-STR comments. Small businesses benefit tremendously from the recommendations of STR homeowners and operators

5)
Please reach out to me with one pain point or one talking point you would like to call in during the meeting. We want to avoid duplicate comments where necessary.

Let me know if you have any questions. You may also reach me at (530) 570-2540 with feedback/comments.

Lastly, if you want to be taken off the email list. Let me know by replying directly.

Southern California Renters of a Santa Rosa Short-Term Rental Evicted After Large Party

On Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at 10:13 pm, numerous Santa Rosa Police Department officers were dispatched to a large party in the 3900-block of Flintridge Drive. Several area residents and the property manager called requesting SRPD assistance with the unlawful party. The party was being held in a short-term rental. The property manager requested assistance with evicting the guests and partygoers because they violated the terms of their rental.

When officers arrived on the scene, they noticed at least 100 vehicles and approximately 300-400 people coming and going from the residence. The renters were from Southern California and were in Santa Rosa for an event. At the residence, there were food vendors, a DJ, a photo booth, and a large bar. SRPD officers were at the scene for more than an hour to clear the party. The homeowner was responsive, arrived at the scene, and requested that everyone be evicted from the property. The City of Santa Rosa Code Enforcement Team is taking a proactive approach in addressing short-term rental violations. Code Enforcement will be following up on this incident.

Short-term rental Occupancy Standards & Parking Requirements:

• Occupants: Two short-term renters per bedroom and shall not exceed 10 total short-term renters
• Occupants: Maximum daytime guests shall be equal to one-half of the maximum number of short-term renters allowed at the short-term rental
• Gatherings: No gatherings can exceed the maximum number of short-term renters and allowable daytime guests
• Parking: One off-street parking space per bedroom
• Parking: Where legal on-street parking is available, one on-street parking space may count toward the minimum number of parking spaces required

The City of Santa Rosa has an Urgency Ordinance related to short-term rentals. The City’s desire is to “preserve the residential characteristics of neighborhoods that enhance the quality of life for our residents, protect public peace, welfare, health, and safety, and preserve housing stock for residential use.” To learn more about the ordinance, click https://www.srcity.org/STR
