XVIII. CURRENT BUSINESS 12. Code Update Recommendations Related to Fractional Homeownership (PA2022-0202) [100-2023] Community Development Director Jurjis and Principal Planner Murillo utilized a presentation to discuss prior City Council, Planning Commission and Ad Hoc Committee discussion and direction, and Planning Commission recommendations to Council to expand the definition of timeshare and provided revised definitions. Principal Planner Murillo noted recommendations if Council determined to authorize fractional ownership as a use separate from timeshares and reviewed a regulatory process for a new use, and provided additional options for consideration. In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's question, Principal Planner Murillo relayed the process for Council to change the definition and City Attorney Harp confirmed [and later revised] that the draft language can come directly back to Council without going to the Planning Commission because the Planning Commission has done an extensive assessment and provided a recommendation. Community Development Director Jurjis confirmed that Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Titles 20 and 21 will be included in the vote for consistency. In response to Council Member Avery's question, Principal Planner Murillo relayed that Pacaso's operating requirements do not allow for subletting. Mayor Blom acknowledged the public in attendance, reminded them that Council will be providing direction today to staff for an ordinance to come back to the City Council and not voting on the ordinance tonight, and expressed an understanding about the public's frustration. Council Member Grant noted the evidence on this item, expressed gratitude to the public for attending tonight's meeting, and stated that she understands what the community is experiencing and their policy interests. Volume 65 - Page 511 City of Newport Beach City Council Meeting March 14, 2023 Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill expressed the opinion that the direction from Council tonight will be to bring back the proposed language that aligns with what the public is desiring, and suggested that Council take a straw vote. Council Member Weigand stated that he opposed fractional homeownership. Council Member Kleiman expressed the opinion that Pacaso is a market disrupter and noted allowable land uses, the City's purview, and discussed transient use. She expressed a lack of confidence that the law will be on the side of the City related to the interpretation of land use, but expressed that it was clear from the correspondence received that the community desires to disallow this use to the extent the City is able. She suggested adding language to the City's existing ordinance that addresses fractional ownership, thought that regulating through a permit process raises other questions about monitoring and enforcement and burdens the neighbors, and supported the recommendation and adding language to the existing ordinance. Council Member Stapleton concurred with his Council colleagues, emphasized he wants to protect property rights, expressed the opinion that the City needs to properly address fractional ownership and the current use is an improper use of land planning and creates a camouflage for timeshares, noted his interest in continuing a friendly family atmosphere in District 1, and opposed the commercialization of neighborhoods, adverse effects to quality of life, and reducing future housing stock. He expressed support for local investors that generate large revenue for the General Fund and an expansion of the timeshare definition. Mayor Blom echoed his colleagues' sentiments and expressed support for expanding the timeshare definition. Council Member Avery stated that he never thought residential areas (R1) would be threatened by changes from the State, noted the importance of building families, relationships, and community, relayed there are plenty of Short Term Lodging (STL) opportunities in the City, and expressed the opinion that the cycle of rehabilitation facilities and timeshares are too much for R1 neighborhoods. Nancy Gardner opposed using R2 zones for rehabilitation facilities and timeshares to avoid having them in R1 zones. Jim Mosher applauded Council's direction and suggested the ordinance include a mechanism for enforcing use and advertising the use. Patty Janssen stated that STLs act the same as vacation rental properties and proof of ownership is not required for subletting the rentals or fractional ownership properties. Kathy Kost provided her perspective about her family and the Pacaso model. Randy Kost relayed his experiences in Newport Beach as a fractional owner, and asked Council to consider the owners. Gary Cruz concurred with Nancy Gardner, noted code enforcement for STLs did not work, and cautioned Council to embrace membership vacation homes for rent coming into Newport Beach. Max Gardner asked Council to consider rules and regulations for how the management companies operate and how neighbors can communicate issues. Denys Oberman, on behalf of the Leadership Committee, noted a correspondence sent on March 13, 2023, the importance of the fractional ownership definition and enforcement, requested Council consider residential zones beyond R1, and asked for clarification about the minimum unit count indicated in the staff report. Volume 65 - Page 512 City of Newport Beach City Council Meeting March 14, 2023 Russ Doll noted a legal letter of position on November 10, 2021, expressed concern about the turnover at a neighboring Pacaso property, and stated the need for a mechanism to manage or remedy ongoing behavior. Maureen Cotton, President of the Central Newport Beach Community Association, thanked City staff and Council for the proposed language and supported the preferred recommendation, but suggested adding language that bans advertising the sale of fractional ownership properties. Andre Jones, Pacaso employee, read comments from Roy Mendrin of Silver Star Sound & Comm who shared his experiences as a local business owner working with Pacaso. John Panache shared why he became a fractional owner and how his family is part of the community. Jim Miller noted cities that are rewriting timeshare ordinances to prohibit hotel -like activity in residential areas and discussed timeshare and STL behavior. An unidentified speaker thanked Council for considering defining Pacaso as a timeshare and protecting local communities, encouraged Council to ensure that people who live in residential areas are accountable, possess an individual commitment to the greater good, and preserve what makes Newport Beach special, and suggested only allowing fractional ownerships in commercial zones. Lisa Sutton noted the City needs to clarify its direction on timeshares or the Pacaso model, and asked Council to be aware of loopholes that would allow fractional ownerships. Katie Sandvig, Pacaso employee, read comments on behalf of fractional homeowner Chris Looney, who thought that shared ownership is good for Newport Beach and encouraged Council to think favorably on co -ownership. Katie Durham, Pacaso employee, read comments from fractional homeowner Aaron Clark, who supported Pacaso. An unidentified speaker expressed the opinion that fractional ownership changes the fabric of the neighborhood by having temporary neighbors and offered a suggestion for the sale of grandfathered properties so they can return to single property ownership. Megan Licata, Pacaso employee, read comments from fractional homeowner Devon Atchison, who expressed hope that Council will allow more families a way into home ownership in Newport Beach and surrounding beach areas. Max, Pacaso employee, read comments from fractional homeowner Scott Hanson, who stated that he and his family support local businesses, promise to never rent out the home, take great care of the home, and thought it is a mistake to limit home ownership to 100 percent ownership. Karen Carlson thanked Council for taking a poll at the beginning of the meeting, supported the recommendation, and urged a moratorium on new fractional ownerships. Lee Pearl relayed being proud of how the community has come together on this issue and commended Council for a decision that he feels will be positive for the community. Steven Bass introduced his neighbors and asked that the neighborhood not be commercialized. Debbie Stevens, President of the Corona del Mar Residents Association, expressed the opinion that timeshares, STLs, and fractional ownerships act the same and that this is a quality of life issue, noted pressures from the State and the importance of having City control over fractional ownership, asked for a continued ban in residential areas and keeping fractional ownership in commercial areas, and stated she supports the recommendations. Volume 65 - Page 513 City of Newport Beach City Council Meeting March 14, 2023 Terry Janssen, President of Balboa Island Improvement Association, discussed the responses from a call -to -action email sent to their database regarding fractional ownership. Ben Roth noted no communication with neighboring fractional homeowners and that this is about the masses and not the few. An unidentified speaker stated that STLs are short term rentals and fractional ownerships are short term residents, but they are the same thing, noted voting privileges to being a resident, and cautioned Council on what the City is investing in. Thomas Palestrini, Pacaso employee, read comments from fractional homeowner Steve Hayes, who stated how he and his family use the property, noted his interest in high standards, a well -maintained property, and owners with a vested interest. in the property, and relayed he pays taxes. Gina Cruz suggested Council should consider the many standards of fractional ownership operators besides Pacaso, discussed issues with the current 12 fractional ownership properties in the City, and asked Council to take peace and tranquility for residents into consideration. Monika Krogmann questioned if Balboa Peninsula will be renamed the Balboa Peninsula Resort. Amber Snider, Newport Beach Fire Safe Council and Corona del Mar Alumni Association member, asked Council to save the neighborhoods and watch out for the children living nearby, especially with special needs. Carmen Rawson labeled fractional owners as transient, noted the impact in R2 zones, surveyed the audience by a show of hands to demonstrate who opposes any fractional ownership, disagreed with the assumption that fractional ownership is taking over empty homes, and asked Council to be prompt. An unidentified speaker asked Council to protect the residents' quality of life and put a stop to fractional ownership. Purvi Doshi, Pacaso employee, thanked staff and Council for their time and devotion to studying co -ownership, expressed the opinion that co -ownership is a.valuable and protected property right, noted meetings with staff to discuss potential solutions, desired to work with the City to develop common sense regulations, and urged the City to continue talks so regulations can be created that work for everybody. Max Johnson stated he started a petition, expressed the opinion that there will be missed tax collections for essential services due to fractional ownerships, and urged Council to support all the residents who are against fractional ownership. Jim Moloney, Balboa Island Preservation Association Chair, thought fractional ownership accelerates the rate of homes being torn down and rebuilt into large cubes to maximize the square footage, and noted there will be more sales revenue in the short term but emphasized the disruption in the long term. City Attorney Harp corrected his previous statement and reported that the item will need to go back to the Planning Commission for consideration and to hold a public hearing pursuant to the NBMC, and, in response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's question, he relayed that there is a 6 week [correction from 60 days] legal requirement for public review before adoption and the clock begins as soon as it is made available to the public. Mayor Blom noted how complex the issue is and how much time was taken to ensure an appropriate recommendation. Volume 65 - Page 514 City of Newport Beach City Council Meeting March 14, 2023 In response to Council Member Weigand's questions, Community Development Director Jurjis stated that enforcement procedures are documented in the NBMC and the 12 existing Pacaso properties would be grandfathered based on the current direction of Council, no Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) can be extracted, and these properties will not be viewed as STL. He indicated that he defers to the City Council for any additional regulations. However, he recommended moving forward with a focus on changing the timeshare definition for expediency instead of discussing additional regulations. Mayor Blom concurred with Community Development Director Jurjis and suggested moving forward with the staff recommendation. Motion by Council Member Grant, seconded by Mayor Blom, to a) determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15262 of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) provide direction to go with the Planning Commission's preferred option of broadening the definition of timeshare to capture fractional homeownership. The motion carried unanimously. XIX. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION — None XX.
