Excerpts from the resolution include:

WHEREAS, STVR’s have led to nearly two thousand complaints from residents including loud parties that disrupt residents who have work and school the next day, leave trash on neighborhood streets and occupy neighborhood parking spaces; and

 

WHEREAS, the City’s existing policy will improve the safety of local neighborhoods by reducing the number of unknown guests coming through the neighborhoods through STVR’s; and

 

WHEREAS, residents have felt unsafe by the dangerous and sometimes criminal activity of short-term renters including an incident with multiple stabbings last year; and

 

WHEREAS, there is not enough housing available in Cathedral City and costs continue to increase with short-term rentals exacerbating the situation by operating rental properties like hotels and pushing out residents, working families and seniors; and

 

WHEREAS, the City’s existing policy address this problem by reducing the number of short-term rentals making long-term housing available for more residents; and

 

WHEREAS, the community has identified policy priorities to be addressed including improving neighborhood safety, reducing criminal activity associated with short-term vacation rentals, reducing noise impacts of short-term vacation rentals and preserving neighborhood character…”
