My name is Reza Fakhr. I'm a 1794 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,320 resident of Salt Lake City. I've owned a 1795 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,360 condominium in the Warehouse District 1796 01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,920 Condominiums, a building in the D3 zone 1797 01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:01,720 in Salt Lake City for 1798 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,720 uh, over 10 years now. I'd like to focus 1799 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,640 my comments as others have this evening 1800 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,720 on just one area specifically of the 1801 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,080 short-term rental ordinance, 1802 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,360 specifically the 10% cap for 1803 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,880 multi-family buildings. First, I want to 1804 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,839 let you know I support the ordinance's 1805 01:08:16,839 --> 01:08:19,640 goals, licensing, safety inspections, an 1806 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,839 accountable local contact, honest 1807 01:08:21,839 --> 01:08:23,680 records. These are all sensible and 1808 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,839 reasonable objectives that can and 1809 01:08:25,839 --> 01:08:27,680 should be complied with. My concern is 1810 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,359 primarily one provision, which is this 1811 01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:31,920 10% cap on short-term rentals in 1812 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:33,920 buildings with more than 10 units. 1813 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,880 Here's the problem. Salt Lake City 1814 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,799 allows short-term rentals mainly in the 1815 01:08:37,799 --> 01:08:40,600 same districts where it allows hotels, a 1816 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,720 pretty deliberate choice for transient 1817 01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,600 lodging. The 10% cap exists to protect 1818 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,319 long-term housing in residential 1819 01:08:47,319 --> 01:08:49,080 neighborhoods, but our building was 1820 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,600 never part of that housing supply. It 1821 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,920 sits in a district the city zoned for 1822 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,080 exactly this use, and this isn't 1823 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,640 hypothetical. About 75% of our building 1824 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,839 has operated as short-term rentals 1825 01:09:00,839 --> 01:09:03,160 openly and lawfully for well over a 1826 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,040 decade. The cap would cut that to one in 1827 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,680 10, only eliminating roughly seven of 1828 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,680 every eight existing rentals 1829 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,319 retroactively through a first-come, 1830 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,680 first-served scramble that pits neighbor 1831 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,920 against neighbor. So, I ask two things. 1832 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,960 Uh first, exempt buildings in the 1833 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,080 district where short-term rentals are 1834 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,240 already permitted. The cap solves 1835 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:25,839 nothing there. So, 1836 01:09:25,839 --> 01:09:27,720 uh or at a minimum, grandfather units 1837 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,200 with a years-long history or more of 1838 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,200 lawful operation.
