A short-term rental ordinance promoted by District 2 Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell is slated to be heard by the San Diego City Council during its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 23.
A staff report outlining the latest version will be available in the days leading up to the meeting.
Campbell’s chief of staff, Venus Molina, said the current iteration has been updated to reflect comments made by San Diego planning commissioners when they heard the proposal in December.
“The Planning Commission had amendments and recommendations, so we incorporated their amendments into the new stuff,” Molina said. “We didn’t incorporate all their comments, but those are the changes we made.”
