Z-S-2025-0006 — Short-Term Rental Development Code Amendments

Simi Valley

Description

A proposed zoning code amendment to allow short-term rentals in residential zones with a permitting system (one permit per owner, annual renewal, nuisance contacts, occupancy limits). The commission instead recommended denying the ordinance and adopting a citywide ban.

Impact summary

If the council follows the recommendation, existing short-term rentals would become illegal in residential zones and the city would rely on SB 346 data-sharing and enforcement tools to police them.

Short Term Rental concerns

A resident told the commission that all four Simi Valley neighborhood councils voted to reject the city's proposed short-term rental rules, backing a 435-signature petition for an outright ban instead. The rules will eventually come before the Planning Commission.
