PH 1: Homestay Ordinance
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
I oppose the home -stay ordinance. My opposition is based on the premise that it
adds another and even more troubling layer of transient commercialization to already-
stressed neighborhoods meant for permanent single family dwellers, owners /renters. It
further depletes the supply of affordable workforce housing in the city. I urge you to
vote against this ordinance. A vote in favor of this ordinance diminishes the value of the
City's goal of neighborhood wellness, which I know you all support.
Sincerely,
Sharon G. Whitney
