Following years of failed attempts to regulate the proliferation of short-term vacation rentals, the San Diego City Council on Feb. 23 endorsed a yearly cap that could cut the volume of the more active rentals by as much as 30 percent.
Councilman Joe LaCava, whose District 1 includes La Jolla, cast the only dissenting vote among the nine council members, failing to win support for four suggested amendments.
The new regulations, which still need the blessing of the California Coastal Commission, grew out of a compromise plan that won the support of Airbnb and other large home-sharing platforms, as well as organized labor.
