ORDINANCE 1614ORDINANCE NO. 1614
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AMENDING TITLE 4
(BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND LICENSING) OF THE EL SEGUNDO
MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW CHAPTER ESTABLISHING
REGULATIONS FOR SHORT-TERM HOME SHARING RENTALS, AND
AMENDING TITLE 15 (ZONING REGULATIONS) ALLOWING SHORT-
TERM HOME SHARING IN THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL ZONES
THROUGH A SHORT-TERM HOME SHARING PERMIT PILOT
PROGRAM.
The City Council of the City of EI Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1, The City Council finds and declares as follows.
A. Due to close proximity of EI Segundo to Los Angeles International airport, beaches
and Southern California tourist destinations, and being home to a significant
number of Fortune 500 companies, the City of EI Segundo is a popular location for
alternative short-term lodging;
B. The renting of rooms in private homes on a short-term basis to visitors provides a
community benefit by expanding the number and type of lodging facilities available
and assists owners of homes by providing revenue which may be used for
maintenance and upgrades to these units;
C. The renting of rooms in private homes by owners for temporary occupancy is also
a community concern due to the potential for increased traffic, and noise in single
family residential neighborhoods if these uses are not properly regulated;
D. Problems with short-term lodgings are particularly acute in the residential zones
where the peace, safety and general welfare of the long-term residents are
potentially threatened;
E. An effective way to minimize the problems associated with short-term rental units
is to allow short-term home sharing through a permit process with restrictions and
operational regulations;
F, To allow the City to more accurately gauge the relative advantages and
disadvantages of allowing short-term home sharing rentals in residential zones
without committing to their permanence, this ordinance establishes a limited pilot
program that will automatically sunset 15 months after it is implemented;
G. On June 27, 2019, the EI Segundo Planning Commission held a noticed public
hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed
ordinance, including information provided by city staff; and, adopted Resolution
No. 2852 recommending that the City Council approve proposed amendments that
included an 18 -month pilot program for all types of short-term rentals;
H. On November 19, 2019, the EI Segundo City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by staff and public testimony regarding the
ordinance recommended by the Planning Commission. City Council directed staff
to make certain amendments to the ordinance and to return with additional
information;
On February 4, 2020, City Council continued its discussion on the proposed
ordinance and considered the information provided by staff. City Council
introduced the ordinance to allow short-term rentals through a Short-term Rental
Permit, as an 18 -month pilot program that permitted all types of short-term rentals;
J. On February 18, 2020, City Council discussed the draft ordinance and directed
staff to return with additional information;
K. On March 3, 2020, staff provided additional information to City Council and the City
Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to allow short-term rentals in the
form of home sharing only;
L. On June 16, 2020, staff presented this ordinance to allow short-term rentals as
home sharing only in a pilot program to run from commencing within 30 to 60 days
after the Los Angeles County Health Officer's order of June 12, 2020, or any
subsequent order, which prohibits short-term rentals in occupied units, is rescinded
or amended to once again permit short-term rentals in occupied units, and ending
15 months after the program begins; and
M. This ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire administrative
record including testimony and evidence presented to City Council at its November
19, 2019, February 4, February 18, March 3 and June 16, 2020, public hearings
and the staff reports submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"),
the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulation, Title 14, Section 15000 et.
seq., Staff found no evidence that EA -1180 and ZTA 17-01 would have a significant effect
on the environment and, therefore, the proposed Zone Text Amendment has been found
to be categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15308 (Class 1) since the
amendment would "result in a negligible expansion of an existing use," as the amendment
consists of establishing regulations and procedures for renting portions of existing
residential units on a short-term basis, provided the property owner resides on-site.
Consequently, no further environmental review is required.
SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. Considering all of its aspects, the EI Segundo
Municipal Code (ESMC) amendments proposed by this ordinance will further the goals,
objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment. More
specifically:
A. This amendment conforms to the Land Use Element Goals, Objectives and
Policies. Specifically, the amendment is consistent with Goal LU1, Objective LU1-
1, Goal LU3, in that the amendment ensures the preservation, protection and
extension of existing residential uses; and promotes the health, safety, and
2
wellbeing of the people of EI Segundo by adopting standards for the proper
balance, relationship, and distribution of the residential land uses at all times in
accordance with applicable law.
B. This text amendment of the Permitted Uses section in each of the City's residential
zones conforms to the General Plan. The changes do not modify or increase the
maximum density of dwelling units per acre currently allowed in the Residential
Land Use designation. As a result, the Zone Text Amendment conforms to the
Land Use Element of the General Plan.
C. The text amendment complies with Objective LU 1-5.6 in that the changes to the
existing language will allow short-term rentals through a home sharing permit
requirement.
D. The text amendment is consistent with the Residential Land Use designation in
that the changes do not modify or increase the maximum density of dwelling units
per acre currently allowed by the Residential zoning designations.
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Section 15-26-
4 the City Council finds as follows:
A. This ordinance is consistent with the purpose of the ESMC, which is to serve the
public health, safety, and general welfare and to provide the economic and social
advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land resources.
B. This ordinance is necessary to minimize the problems associated with short-term
rental units by requiring a home sharing permit, with restrictions and operational
regulations. Further, this ordinance and all home sharing permits will automatically
sunset 15 months after the pilot program commences, after which time home
sharing will no longer be a permitted use under this ordinance.
C, This ordinance is necessary to minimize the likelihood that this activity goes
underground, at which point the City would not have an account of the number of
short-term rentals, their locations, or a funding mechanism to offset any increase
in demand for City services resulting from the short-term rental units.
SECTION 5: Title 4 of the ESMC is amended to add thereto a new Chapter 15 "Home
Sharing Permit Pilot Program" to read as follows:
"Chapter 15
