Planning commission approves short-term rental at 1204 West 30 Second Street
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a short-term rental application for a two-bedroom house at 1204 West 30 Second Street, subject to standard business-license, tax and safety conditions and a required noise-monitoring device.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a short-term rental permit for the property at 1204 West 30 Second Street, passing the motion 6-0.
Planning staff presented the application and recommended approval subject to standard conditions: obtain a business license pursuant to Chapter 5, remit transient guest tax to the finance department, comply with the Unified Development Ordinance’s short-term rental standards, provide proof of a noise-monitoring system, and obtain sign-off from the Fire Inspections Division. Staff also noted a maximum occupancy of four persons and clarified that the loft and basement do not qualify as legal bedrooms under the ordinance.
Shannon Lefever, who said she was representing the applicant, described plans to market the unit to families and said the short-term rental would help offset mortgage costs: “we basically are just trying to get to a point where we can, like, balance out our current mortgage with it.” She confirmed she lives about five minutes away and that a trailer currently on the property would be removed before the unit is listed. On the required noise monitoring, she told commissioners: “If you violate the noise monitor device, it'll give me a notification directly to my cell phone,” and said she would contact police or the guest if the device indicated a violation.
Staff noted the lot is in the Beverly Hills resurvey (Block 7), the lot size is about 16,500 square feet, and the existing structure is approximately 750 square feet with two bedrooms; the driveway can accommodate up to five vehicles and meets the short-term rental parking requirement. No members of the public spoke for or against the application.
Following questions from commissioners and the applicant’s confirmations about compliance with conditions, the commission approved case number 254003 on a 6-0 vote. The approval is conditioned on the items listed by staff, including business licensing, transient guest tax remittance, noise-monitoring device installation, and final fire inspection sign-off.
