File Number: 18-386 <br />Previous Actions <br />Ordinance 2017-003 on March 17, 2017 prohibits Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) from being <br />used for short-term rentals. The City Council held a work session on July 23, 2018 regarding the <br />urgency ordinance, and a first reading of a Loud and Unruly Gathering Ordinance. Prior to the <br />most recent special meeting of the City Council on July 23, 2018 during which the current urgency <br />ordinance was adopted, the City Council held a work session to discuss the issue of short-term <br />rentals on November 13, 2017. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />Land Use 1.9 - Multi-Family Housing Upkeep. Maintain and enforce high standards of <br />property upkeep for existing and new multi-family rental housing development. <br /> <br />Land Use 1.9.B - Maintenance of Rental Properties. Pursue ordinance revisions and <br />incentives to ensure that landlords are held accountable for the appearance, maintenance, and <br />safety of rental properties, including yard areas and structures. <br /> <br />Land Use 3.10 - Market Rate Housing. Encourage the provision of a significant amount of <br />market-rate ownership and rental housing as part of an effort to maintain and diversify the City’s <br />economic base. <br /> <br />Economic Development 5.9 - Hospitality. Expand the hospitality sector in San Leandro, <br />including hotels and visitor services such as conference and meeting facilities. <br /> <br />Housing Policy 56.10 - Efficient Use of Housing Stock. Support programs that encourage <br />the more efficient use of existing single-family homes, for instance, roommate matching and <br />shared housing programs. This could also include opportunities for local homeowners to rent out <br />rooms in their homes for short-term stays, thereby providing an extra source of income which <br />makes their own housing more affordable. <br /> <br />Housing Policy 56.11 - Second Units. Recognize second units as an essential part of the <br />City’s housing stock and a resource for lower income households, students and young adults, <br />seniors, extended families and small households. Second units established prior to the adoption <br />of the 1961 zoning code should be recognized as legal dwelling units and measures to legalize <br />unregistered units developed after 1961 should be explored. <br /> <br />Housing Policy 59.01 - Zoning Regulations. Ensure that the development standards, use <br />restrictions, parking requirements, and other regulations contained in the San Leandro Zoning <br />Code enable the production of housing for all income groups. Overly restrictive or redundant <br />requirements should be strongly discouraged. <br />Environmental Review <br />A time extension of an interim ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of section 15378 of <br />the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 8/28/2018 <br />225
