Ms. Harryman stated that this came up at the Kimberly Commons project, and staff received a complaint that an owner was leasing them for very short-term rentals. She noted that the idea behind that project was affordability by design, and if the owner is renting them out at rates competing with the Rose Hotel and other hotels and not putting residents in them, then they are not affordable by design. She indicated that they are very nice, housing prices were very high, and that was the idea when that project was approved; and the only way the City was able to prevent those from being weekly rentals or monthly rentals was to rely on conditions of approval rather than on the covenants. She stated that the Commission may not agree with it and does not need to include it; staff is just informing the Commission that that is what staff did at Kimberly Commons to avoid that issue. Commissioner Ritter stated that if the owner of these units rent them out, it would be a lease. Chair Allen commented that these would be subdivided. Ms. Harryman stated that when she saw the project, she just assumed they were going to be sold, but that might not be the case after tonight. Commissioner Ritter commented that they could be leased. Commissioner Balch stated that the intent right now is to keep them; the point is, they could be used for executive housing or for any number of things. Commissioner Ritter stated that he does not want to get into telling homeowners what they can and cannot do with their place. Chair Allen stated that she does not know if there is support for this, but she agrees with the proposal of limiting that, for the reason that Ms. Harryman stated as well as because these are very tight, high- density residential homes that are sold independently. She added that if she lived in one of the homes in that tight of a corridor with just a few feet between the buildings, she would not want these renters coming in Airbnb because it would be just like a hotel next door to her. Commissioner Nagler stated that he does not think it is appropriate to condition a particular project for a fear, realized or otherwise, about how the property might be utilized. He indicated that if this becomes an issue in the City, just like the people of San Francisco addressed it, the Council here in town may want to address it as a macro problem. He added that he is not sure it is appropriate to address it on an applicant -by- applicant basis. Commissioner Ritter agreed. Chair Allen inquired if there were any move afoot to bring this up, for instance, to the Council on new developments and have a discussion about this area.
