Description
A zoning-text ordinance that would make long-term room rentals (90+ days) legal in owner-occupied homes, replacing a complex licensing framework with a simple 'this is legal' approach. The committee recommended it as amended, with Savidge's amendment withdrawn as moot.
Impact summary
Legalizes the city's cheapest form of unsubsidized housing and removes an enforcement tool that carried a $1,000-a-day fine and, according to the sponsor, was disproportionately applied to minorities.
