Good afternoon Council,
My name is Brett Jones and I’m inquiring about reseting some of the bylaws surrounding short-term rentals in
SLO. Let me start with I’m totally against ppl from outside the area buying up homes and putting them on Air
BB and like sites. Also I’m not in support of someone building an ADU and short-term renting both properties.
What I’m asking is to be able to short-term rent and ADU if you live on the property. I could rent my ADU for
about 3200 a month, definitely not affordable housing. Also I’d rather not have ppl living full time in my back
yard. I’d think with a short-term rental with myself on the property I could manage it better and be there if
anything happened. Plus I’d like to be able to use the space for family when visiting.
From what I understand the city revenue for short-term rentals goes towards the tourist budget. I’m proposing
it go towards helping with low income housing and people suffering with mental illness that might be unhoused.
Just my thoughts and thank you for listening. Also thank you so much for all you do for our great city.
Brett
