Commission asks staff to clarify complaint counts and license breakdowns in 2025 annual report
Summary
During review of the draft 2025 annual report commissioners asked staff to update corrected complaint figures, indicate how many complaints resulted in notices of violation, and provide a year-by-year breakdown of business licenses by type, noting a sharp drop in short-term rental licenses for 2025.
The Planning Commission spent significant discussion time on the draft 2025 annual report, asking staff to correct and clarify several data points before finalization. Commissioners requested that the document show how many of the recorded complaints resulted in notices of violation, because "not all complaints are actual violations," and they asked that the business-license table be expanded to break down licenses by type so trends are visible year to year.
Commissioners flagged several specific edits: update the total complaints figure following a recent correction, change a mislabeled header row on Page 7 (a second instance of 2024 should read 2025), and investigate the cause of a steep drop in short-term tourist rental business licenses in 2025. Mr. Ken Johnson stressed the importance of the license-type breakdown, saying, "it would be good to break down business licenses by type by year," and asked staff to supply that detail going forward. Mr. Hahn acknowledged an earlier conflation of "complaints" and "violations" in his explanation and will provide clarified figures in the revised draft.
