Community Encouraged to Provide Feedback at the
Final Short-Term Rentals Workshop
The City of Long Beach continues to host a series of community events, as part of the process of developing a proposed short-term rental (STR) ordinance . If adopted by the City Council, this ordinance will establish a framework for regulating STRs, or vacation rentals, within the City.
 
The third and final STR community workshop will be held at the Expo Arts Center, 4321 Atlantic Ave., on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Translation services in Spanish, Tagalog, and Khmer, as well as light refreshments will be provided. The workshop will feature a presentation of three proposed STR ordinance options, followed by a question and answer portion. Based on community feedback the three options will be further refined and incorporated into a STR recommendation to be presented to City Council. The project team is expected to present its findings for a proposed STR ordinance to the City Council in November 2018.
