Re: Vacation Rentals Ordinance; CPC-2019-7045-CA (VACATION RENTALS) CEQA: ENV-2019-7046-ND; ENV-
2019-7375-CE (CPC Hearing 12/19/19)
Honorable Commissioners and Mr. Whalen:
Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) has been the most broad-based organization and voice of the
Palisades community since 1973. PPCC is one of the oldest continuously operating councils of its type in Los
Angeles and served as a model for many current neighborhood councils. PPCC conducts open, public board
meetings and serves the same function as a neighborhood council: to provide a forum for the discussion of
issues and to advise government on matters of community concern.
Since 2015, PPCC has taken the position that we are opposed to the legalization of short-term rentals in all
residential zones, but if legalization is to occur, only owner-occupied primary residences shall be permitted to
host on a short-term basis, for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year. We also supported, in connection with
the City’s Home-Sharing Ordinance, the provision for a 24-hour hotline which was eventually adopted in the
Administrative Guidelines to the Home-Sharing Ordinance:
"Complaint Hotline. Members of the public may call the Los Angeles Home-Sharing Hotline at any time at (213)
267-7788 to file any complaints about any short-term rental activity including but not limited to advertising,
Registration Numbers, violations of maximum occupancy limits, noise or any other provision identified in the
Home-Sharing Ordinance or the LAMC." (p. 21, Administrative Guidelines, Home-Sharing Ordinance)
We respectfully request that if the City Planning Commission determines to approve the proposed Vacation
Rentals Ordinance, a similar provision for a hotline be included in the ordinance.
Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Christina Spitz, Secretary
Pacific Palisades Community Council
