CC Resolution No. 20-113 Amending Preivous Fee Schedules RESOLUTION NO: 20-113
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
AMENDING PREVIOUS FEE SCHEDULES
I
WHEREAS, the City of Cupertino is in the process of establishing a Short-Term
Rental registration program; and
WHEREAS, on August 18, 2020, the City Council of the City of Cupertino
requested that options for a Short-Term Rental Registration fee be brought to a future
meeting; and
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2020, the City Council of the City of Cupertino
adopted Ordinance No. 20-2200, amending regulations related to short-term rentals and
including a registration fee requirement. Ordinance No 20-2200 will become effective on
October 15, 2020 per Government Code Section 36937,but the City will not begin to
enforce the registration fee requirement until January 1, 2021. Between the effective date
of this Resolution (November 15, 2020) and January 1, 2021, the City may collect
registration fees from short-term rental registrants but shall not enforce the registration
fee requirement against any person; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on September 15, 2020 to add a Short-
Term Rental Registration fee to the City of Cupertino's existing Fee Schedule;
WHEREAS, the State of California requires fees charged for service rendered not
to exceed the cost of delivering said services. Based on information collected by staff
and provided in the staff report, it is anticipated that the cost to administer and enforce
the short-term rental program would include $34,289 for third-party short-term rental
monitoring technology, $286 per short-term rental for one hour of staff time for
processing the registration, and costs related to code enforcement. Assuming Cupertino
will have an estimated 300 short-term rentals registering, a fee recovering the known
costs of the monitoring technology and processing would be $400 per short-term rental
registration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino has established guidelines j
for setting user fees and this fee is consistent with those guidelines.
i
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is appropriate to subsidize
some code enforcement costs associated with short-term rentals from the City's General
Fund, and the fee shall be set at less than full cost recovery.
