The City Council held a work session on July 23, 2018 for first reading <br />of a Loud and Unruly Gathering Ordinance. Prior to the most recent work session on July 23, <br />2018 during which the current urgency ordinance was adopted, the City Council held a work <br />session to discuss the issue of short term rentals on November 13, 2017.

The City Council held a work session on this topic on December 10, 2018. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />Land Use 1.9 - Multi-Family Housing Upkeep. Maintain and enforce high standards of property <br />upkeep for existing and new multi-family rental housing development. <br />Land Use 1.9.B - Maintenance of Rental Properties. Pursue ordinance revisions and incentives to <br />ensure that landlords are held accountable for the appearance, maintenance, and safety of rental <br />properties, including yard areas and structures. <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 />Economic Development 5.9 - Hospitality. Expand the hospitality sector in San Leandro, including <br />hotels and visitor services such as conference and meeting facilities. <br />Housing Policy 56.10 - Efficient Use of Housing Stock. Support programs that encourage the <br />more efficient use of existing single-family homes, for instance, roommate matching and shared <br />housing programs. This could also include opportunities for local homeowners to rent out rooms <br />in their homes for short-term stays, thereby providing an extra source of income which makes <br />their own housing more affordable. <br />Housing Policy 56.11 - Second Units. Recognize second units as an essential part of the City’s <br />housing stock and a resource for lower income households, students and young adults, seniors, <br />extended families and small households. Second units established prior to the adoption of the <br />1961 zoning code should be recognized as legal dwelling units and measures to legalize <br />unregistered units developed after 1961 should be explored. <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 />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/30/2019
