City attorney says short term rentals not allowed in San Diego
A City Attorney memo declaring that short-term rentals are not allowed in San Diego has intensified a long-simmering debate that is sure to boil over during a public hearing next week to consider new regulations governing home sharing.
In a break with the legal opinions of her predecessors, City Attorney Mara Elliott concluded that San Diego’s municipal code does not permit vacation rentals in any zone.
As recently as last November, former City Attorney Jan Goldsmith advised the City Council that the current code is too vague and would need to be amended if the city wanted to clarify that rentals listed on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are in fact prohibited.
Elliott’s opinion arrives just as the city planning department is getting ready to release next week long-awaited draft proposals for regulating short-term rentals. A hearing has been scheduled for Friday before the council’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee.
