The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations governing
the short-term rental of residential property within the city of Lathrop.
The city has a legitimate interest in fostering and preserving the
long-term residential character of its residential neighborhoods.
The establishment of these regulations will help maintain adequate
housing stock for permanent residents while ensuring that short-term
rental activities do not become a nuisance or threaten the public
health, safety, or welfare due to excessive noise, disorderly conduct,
overcrowding, traffic congestion, illegal parking, the accumulation
of refuse, and other effects related to short-term rentals.
(Ord. 24-457, 4/8/2024)
