Subject: Short term rental permits in CDM

As a homeowner and full time resident of CDM, I am alarmed and dismayed by the
proliferation of houses near me that are being used solely for AirBnB income. This has
lowered our property values and created constant noise from parties almost every night until 2
or 3am.
We also have to contend with the regular parking lot after parties from the loud, drunk people
that stay, play loud music, fight, and drunksplain the drama of their evening. The Port
Restaurant owner and management take no responsibility or action to prevent or stop this
constant behavior.
This is completely unfair to the residents and taxpayers. Having to wake up and call the police
is a futile effort.
We live at 2830 2nd Ave, Corona Del Mar, and there are at least 3 houses already on Airbnb
between Goldenrod and Heliotrope on one block. Now the two houses across from us just
sold, and it is clear that they are being prepared to also be short-term rentals. They were
purchased explicitly for this purpose. This would make 5 houses on our block, short-term
rental property houses. This is basically a commercial venture in a residential area.
I need to know how to prevent permits from being issued. Is there a limit on number of
permits given in any given area on the same block? This hurts out property value, sleep, and
quality of life.
I need help here. Any advice or action would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
James and Ana Lord
