The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the use and operation of all short-term rentals within the town. Establishing regulations governing short-term rentals of residential property within the Town of Moraga is necessary in order both to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Town of Moraga and to allow for the short-term rental of single-family and multi-family dwelling units for less than thirty (30) consecutive days, while still preventing short-term rental activities from becoming a nuisance or a threat to public health, safety or welfare.

(Ord. No. 290, § 3, 6-10-2020)

C.

The short-term rental must be located within a permitted and permanently constructed dwelling unit. For example, without limitation, short-term rental in a vehicle, trailer, or tent is not allowed.
