STAFF REPORT
Chapter 3.52 of the Municipal Code establishes th~ 8%
transient occupancy tax and provides for an exemption tor
anyone who resides in the same hotel/motel for 30 days or
longer. It is the recommendation of the City Clerk's Office
that the exemption be eliminated.
It is not desirable public policy to encourage
permanent residency in hotels/motels as they are not zoned
or designed for permanent occupancy. Repeal of the 30 day
exemption would remove a financial incentive by increasing
the cost of room rental by 8% and would apply the tax
equally to all hotel/motel patrons. As a secondary benefit
the City would receive an additional $159,000 per year in
transient occupancy tax revenue which could be used for
blight abatement.
