Can you BnB it in Arroyo Grande?
RestrictedArroyo Grande regulates vacation rentals and homestays as specific uses in its development code, at sections 16.52.230 and 16.52.240. The text of those sections could not be opened on the code publisher's site, so the permit requirements, any caps, and what happens on a sale are not yet established.
The rules, with their sources
Caps and limitsThe code separates vacation rentals (section 16.52.230) from homestays (section 16.52.240), which normally means different standards for whole home versus owner present rentals, but the standards themselves were not retrieved, so no cap or spacing rule is asserted.L1Title 16 Development Code, Chapter 16.52, sections 16.52.230 and 16.52.240.
