"Even with robust Code Enforcement, a city's statutory ban on STRs is not enough to keep STRs from operating." The City agrees with this finding.

The City disagrees with this finding as it relates to the City individually. The Housing Element is required by State law to discuss and analyze population growth and the housing needs of special needs groups, including the senior population. The State's housing guidelines and the RHNA process, however, are focused on family economic levels. Family economic levels include seniors as well as non-seniors. Until State law is changed to further segment and focus criteria solely on seniors, it is inappropriate to reprioritize local government efforts.
