Edwards St., Independence, with adoption scheduled immediately after in the same location. A copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance is available for review within the Board Clerk’s Office, County Administrative Center, Independence.
Summary of ordinance: The proposed ordinance would amend the above-listed sections of Inyo County Code, set forth in Title 18, and add a subsection to Title 18 in order to make changes to the short-term rental of residential properties ordinance regarding stricter penalties for violations; make changes to permitting requirements and definitions; and add the Multiple Residential, 2-units (R2) zone to the zoning districts that allow for short-term rentals and to remove the non-hosted permit, effectively disallowing the use in the future.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance at its January 22, 2020 meeting and voted unanimously to adopt a resolution recommending the Board of Supervisors enact the ordinance and find it exempt from CEQA by "Categorical Exemption, Class 1 Existing Facilities," found in 14 CCR section 15301.
