LQ Executive Order No. 07 Amended 5 2020-05-29 - STVR Restrictions ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 7 AS AMENDED by this FIFTH AMENDMENT ORDER GOVERNING ALL SHORT TERM, VACATION, HOTEL, MOTEL, TIME-SHARE, AND SIMILAR LODGING RENTALS FOR 30 DAYS OR LESS IN THE CITY EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Original Date of Executive Order: March 26, 2020 Date AS AMENDED: April 3, 2020 Date of SECOND AMENDMENT: April 8, 2020 Date of THIRD AMENDMENT: May 12, 2020 Date of FOURTH AMENDMENT: May 20, 2020 Date of FIFTH AMENDMENT: May 29, 2020 Pursuant to Chapter 2.20 of the La Quinta Municipal Code and City Council Resolution No. EM 2020-001, the City Manager for the City of La Quinta hereby ORDERS the following: 1. This order applies to all “short-term rentals” in the City of La Quinta, which are defined as any and all facilities, including short-term rentals, vacation rentals, timeshares, hotels, motels, and other short-term lodgings, which provide lodging or accommodations to persons for a time period of 30 days or less. This definition includes any definition set forth in the La Quinta Municipal Code, including Sections 3.24.020 and 3.25.030, that provide for a rental timeframe of 30 days or less, and otherwise refer to short-term lodgings or short-term vacation rentals. 2. In further explanation of Paragraph 1 above, “short-term rentals” subject to this order includes all of the following: (A) “Hotels,” “group hotels,” and “time-share occupancies,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.24.020 of the La Quinta Municipal Code; (B) “Short-term vacation rental units” as OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER TEL (760) 777-7100 ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ defined in Section 3.25.030 of the La Quinta Municipal Code; and (C) Any other lodging areas, structures, improvements, mobile or immobile units, rooms, or enclosed spaces located within the City of La Quinta available for use and occupancy, or used and occupied by, persons for a time period of 30 days or less. 3. Notwithstanding any provisions in Chapters 3.24, 3.25, or any other provisions in the La Quinta Municipal Code to the contrary, commencing from the original date of this order and for as long as the Local Emergency relating to COVID-19 remains in place, all short-term rentals are hereby suspended, and shall not be available for use or occupancy, nor used or occupied by, any person unless in compliance with this order. The fourth amendment to this order was expressly intended to apply on and after May 20, 2020. All terms and conditions in this order that were in effect prior to the date of this fifth amendment, including those set forth in the second and third amendments, remain applicable to any decision made by the city when those terms and conditions were in effect; provided, however, modifications to those prior decisions may be made by the city that are consistent with this fifth amendment. In explanation of and support for continued application of terms and conditions from prior amendments, the original intent of this order was and remains (a) To prevent the spread of COVID-19 by applying the statewide “stay at home” order (California Governor Executive Order N-33-20, as supplemented by Executive Order N-60-20) to transitory or temporary rentals and lodging ordinarily available in the City of La Quinta but for the Local Emergency; (b) To completely suspend, for a temporary period, all short-term rentals in the City of La Quinta for the duration of the Local Emergency as proclaimed by the City Council, and (c) To permit use or occupancy of short-term rentals only in extremely limited situations, and only with clearly convincing evidence in support that such use or occupancy is necessary for COVID-19 relief efforts in the City of La Quinta. With the issuance of California Governor Executive Order N-60-20, the state authorized the re-opening of industries and delegated to the California Department of Public Health (DPH) the responsibility for re- opening and allowing operations of industries in four (4) ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ stages; as of the effective date of the fourth amendment, the state was in “Stage 2” of re-opening and allowing operations of certain industries; the intent of the fourth amendment, as modified by the fifth amendment, is to align this order with the legal ability to use and occupy short-term rentals in the City of La Quinta as may be authorized by, and consistent with, requirements by the DPH and the County of Riverside pursuant to the DPH’s grant to the county of a variance for re- opening industries within the county. 4. Upon the effective date of the fifth amendment, any short- term rental that meets the criteria for Short Term Vacation Rental set forth in Pages 9-11 of the Riverside County Safe Reopening Guidelines dated May 28, 2020, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by reference (County Guidelines), including a short-term rental used for hospitality and guests, may operate pursuant to this order (which includes the requirements set forth in Exhibit “A” for a Short Term Vacation Rental). As set forth in the County Guidelines, hotels, motels, or inns that are situated on a single property with multiple guest rooms may not be used as short-term rentals pursuant to the County Guidelines, as the State has yet to determine when those specific facilities will be allowed for non COVID-19 related use. 5. Except for short-term rentals subject to Paragraph 4 above, all other short-term rentals in the City of La Quinta may open and operate, and shall be used and occupied, as authorized by, and consistent with, California Governor Executive Order N- 60-20 and the requirements of the DPH set forth and available at the following (and any other applicable) Web sites, as may be updated from time to time: https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/; https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/; https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential- needs/#top; https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID- 19/County_Variance_Attestation_Form.aspx. 6. Any short-term rental authorized to be opened, operated, used and occupied pursuant to this order: (A) shall have a minimum ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ of 24 hours between the time of a person(s) departure and the time of check-in and new occupancy by any different person(s), and (B) shall comply with Chapters 3.24, 3.25, and any other provisions in the La Quinta Municipal Code that ordinarily would be applicable to the short-term rental. 7. Notwithstanding any provisions in Chapters 3.24, 3.25, or any other provisions in the La Quinta Municipal Code to the contrary, and to the maximum extent allowable under state law, any person who violates this order shall be subject to a fine of $5,000 per violation and an immediate suspension of any and all City permits that authorize the use of the short- term rental for one (1) year from the date of suspension. Citations and suspensions of permits may be issued by the City any time the day after the effective date of the second amendment, and such citation and suspensions of permits may take effect immediately upon issuance to a short-term rental in violation of this order. Payment for any citation shall be due and payable immediately or as set forth in the citation. Any applicable time periods relating to the submittal, processing, and decision of an administrative appeal for the issuance of a citation or other decision of a city officer available under the La Quinta Municipal Code, including Chapters 1.09, 2.08, 3.24, and 3.25, shall be tolled and shall not commence until the date the Local Emergency, as determined by the City Council, is no longer in effect. 8. Any and all advertising for a short-term rental shall not be inconsistent with this order for as long as this order remains in effect. This requirement shall be in addition to any other requirements for advertising a short-term rental set forth in Chapters 3.24, 3.25, or any other provisions in the La Quinta Municipal Code. 9. This order is issued to best protect the public health and welfare and follows the most recent orders and directives from the California Department of Public Health as implemented by Riverside County Public Health Office. Any subsequent order from the City Manager to remove the suspension on, and allow full use and occupancy of, short-term rentals subject to this order shall be based on further direction, if and when issued, ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ from the DPH or the Riverside County Public Health Officer, including any further direction on the Internet Web site for the California Department of Public Health, at: https://covid19.ca.gov/ and https://covid19.ca.gov/stay- home-except-for-essential-needs/#top, and Riverside County Public Health Office at: https://www.rivcoph.org/coronavirus, or successor Web sites established by the state department or county public health office. 10. The Assistant to the City Manager is hereby directed to coordinate, deploy, and monitor the suspension of, and limited use and occupancy of, short-term rentals, subject to this order, with notices to the public and any other reasonable means necessary or appropriate. 11. This order shall remain in effect until terminated or amended by subsequent order from the City Manager. This Executive Order is issued because a Local Emergency, as defined in Section 2.20.020 of the La Quinta Municipal Code, has been proclaimed by the City Council of the City of La Quinta to exist due to the threat of the existence and spread of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in and throughout the city. All of the findings set forth in the recitals to Resolution No. EM 2020-001 adopted by the City Council are hereby incorporated by reference into this Executive Order. This Executive Order is issued, pursuant to Sections 3, 5, and 8 of Resolution No. EM 2020-001 and Section 2.20.100, Subsections (A) and (B), of the La Quinta Municipal Code, under which the City Manager has the authority and power to issue executive orders for any matters related to the Local Emergency. This Executive Order is issued in furtherance of the authority and power to address the Local Emergency as provided in the California Emergency Services Act, Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Title 2 of the Government Code, and implemented by Chapter 2.20 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. Any violation of this Executive Order may be determined to be a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine or imprisonment, or both, pursuant to Section 8665 of the Government Code, Section 2.20.140 of the ϳϴͲϰϵϱ>>dDW/K͕>Yh/Ed͕ϵϮϮϱϯ La Quinta Municipal Code, the provisions in this order, and any other state or city law as may be applicable.
