Home Sharing City Council Workshop - October 18
As discussed at the February 23, 2016 City Council workshop, staff intends to prepare a separate, subsequent ordinance for Council consideration that would create a new type of STR permit allowing “home sharing” in residential neighborhoods. Under the home sharing model, a homeowner resides on the property and rents out a portion of his/her/their home. The Short-Term Rental Advisory Committee was generally in favor of allowing home sharing in single family neighborhoods as staff’s research confirmed this STR model typically generates few, if any, complaints in Anaheim and other communities. Staff will seek input from home sharing operators during ordinance preparation. City staff will present recommendations and options for a potential home sharing ordinance in Anaheim. Depending on the results of the workshop, an ordinance could be presented for consideration by the City Council in November 2016.

Updated July 14, 2016
On July 12, 2016, the City Council approved the seconding reading of two new ordinances affecting short-term rentals.  The background, staff report and ordinances are available for viewing by clicking on this link.

The ordinance referred to as the “STR Regulations and Ban on New STRs Ordinance” has been updated to incorporate a number of changes recommended by the Acting City Attorney and discussed at the June 29^th City Council special meeting. Click here to view the ordinance.

The ordinance referred to as the “STR Amortization Ordinance” reflects an 18-month (“phase-out”) amortization period. Click here to view the ordinance. The “Amortization Ordinance” includes a “wind down” period of 18-months. The 18-month amortization period begins on August 11, 2016, which would be the effective date of the ordinances. That means a licensed STR could continue to operate until February 11, 2018.
