The Planning Department has released a new report back to the Planning and Land Use Committee of the City Council related to the Proposed Home-Sharing Ordinance (Council Files 14-1635-S2, 14-1635-S3). The report back is available at: http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2014/14-1635-S2_rpt_PLAN_03-22-2018.pdf.

Based on the PLUM Committee instruction and discussion the Planning Department has developed a general framework that would allow qualified hosts to participate in home-sharing beyond the annual cap. The “extended home-sharing” framework creates a two-tiered system in which hosts are permitted to exceed the cap through an administrative clearance system wherein hosts receive approval after certain conditions are met. If hosts are unable to meet these requirements a discretionary process is available to them that would include a longer processing time and increased application costs.

We are not informed yet on the date when the item will be heard again. To receive updates on this ordinance, you can subscribe on the City’s Council File Management System.
