The Desert-Sun reported that: “The city will no longer issue new permits for short-term rentals in single-family and multi-family residential zones, even if the property is located within an HOA.
Mayor Ernesto Gutierrez said the urgency ordinance closes the loophole for short-term rental permits in R1 and R2 neighborhoods with HOAs.
“This does not prevent us from later on revisiting HOAs, which are RR, in the future,” Gutierrez said, referencing how the council may later consider taking action on short-term rentals in resort residential neighborhoods with HOAs. RR refers to resort residential zones, including developments such as Desert Princess Country Club located at 28555 Landau Boulevard and Canyon Shores located at 35200 Cathedral Canyon Drive.”
“The Riverside County Voter of Registrars office has finalized the Cathedral City election on short-term vacation rentals.
The Yes on Measure B supports keeping Ordinance 842 which will phase out some short-term vacation rentals by January 1, 2023. The No on Measure B supported removing new regulations on short-term vacation rentals in Cathedral City.“
