EXPLANATION
15
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation

not
constitute
agreement
with

the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general

17
This
bill
relates
to
the
regulation
of
certain
short-term
18
rental
properties
by
counties
and
cities.
19
Current
law
prohibits
a
county
or
city
from
adopting
or
20
enforcing
any
regulation,
restriction,
or
other
ordinance,
21
including
a
conditional
use
permit
requirement,
relating
to
22
short-term
rental
properties
within
the
respective
county
or
23
city.
Current
law
provides
some
exceptions
to
the
prohibition
24
if
enforcement
is
performed
in
the
same
manner
as
enforcement
25
applicable
to
similar
properties
that
are
not
short-term
rental
26
properties.
The
bill
provides
an
additional
exception,
not
27
subject
to
the
enforcement
limitation,
that
allows
a
county
or
28
city
to
enact
or
enforce
an
ordinance
that
regulates
or
limits,
29
but
does
not
prohibit,
short-term
rental
properties
that
are
30
located
within
one
mile
of
a
lake
that
is
accessible
to
the
31
public
or
owned
by
the
state.
