Mr. Weinstein replied that it has come up in the past, but it has not become a problem to date, except for a couple of Code Enforcement calls here and there throughout the City for short-term rental properties that have become an issue. He noted that staff also sees benefits in short-term rentals and has talked with folks from the Tri- Valley Tourism Agency who actually support limited short-term rentals on the grounds that they introduce diversity to our lodging choices here in Pleasanton and elsewhere in the Tri - Valley. He indicated that the hope is that if some sort of regulations were imposed on short-term rentals should they became a problem, they were done in a reasonable way that would allow at least some sort of permitted use of short- term rentals in the long run, obviously subject to approval by the City Council. Chair Allen indicated that there is no support for limiting short-term rentals in this case. Commissioner Ritter stated that his motion still stands, with the addition of conditions for in -lieu fees for three spaces and the design of the garage doors. Commissioner O'Connor seconded the motion. Mr. Weinstein advised that Condition No. 10 specifically talks about paying in -lieu fees for three parking spaces, so that is covered. He added that Condition No. 1 requires the project to conform substantially to the project narrative, the color palette, the arborist report, and the plans which show the carriage garage doors, so the applicant team is held pretty closely to what is out there right now. Commissioner Balch stated that the carriage doors were such a vital design element more so than the rest of everything that was talked about, and he thinks a condition should be added specifically addressing that matter. Commissioner Ritter agreed to add the condition even if it is redundant so the City Council can see that and know that that is important to the Commission. Mr. Weinstein replied that staff would add that as a stand -alone condition.
