Overview
This bill changes how the California Coastal Commission reviews coastal development permits, particularly concerning non-owner-occupied short-term rentals. It directs the Commission to approve local government restrictions or prohibitions on these rentals, even if other accommodations are available, if the local government demonstrates a need to address significant housing shortages and the permit balances housing needs with public access to the coast. The bill also reinforces the Commission’s role in encouraging affordable housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents in coastal areas.
Key provisions
- The California Coastal Commission must approve local government restrictions or prohibitions on non-owner-occupied short-term rentals.
- This approval applies even if other visitor-serving accommodations are available.
- Local governments must demonstrate a need to address significant local housing shortages to qualify for this approval.
- The Commission must determine that the permit strikes a reasonable balance between housing needs and public access to the coast.
