San Diego STRO Ordinance
Hi BP,
I'm trying to understand the new San Diego short term vacation rental ordinance that will go into effect July 1, 2019.
§510.0103 Short Term Residential Occupancy Regulated A dwelling unit may not be used for short term residential occupancy except as set forth in this Division...
The ordinance refers to regulating "Dwelling Units" but in looking up the definition I now how questions on what the differences are for other structures and if they are a way around the regulations.
Dwelling unit, means a room or suite of rooms in a building or portion thereof, used, intended or designed to be used or occupied for living purposes by one family, and containing only one kitchen.
Multiple dwelling unit means two or more dwelling units on a single lot. The term does not include companion units, junior units, or employee housing.
Companion unit means an accessory structure on a residential lot that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons, independent of the primary dwelling unit, which includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.
Accessory structure means a structure attached to or detached from a primary structure located on the same premises that is customarily incidental and subordinate to the primary structure or use. The term accessory structure includes accessory buildings
What's the difference between a Companion Unit and a Dwelling Unit? Would a Companion unit not fall under the STRO regulations? The Multiple dwelling unit definitions seems to exclude Companion Units as Dwelling Units.
Thanks,
Cory
