Request: Minor Use Permit (MUP) to allow the short-term rental of up to 121 units of the Lafayette located at 2333 Calle del Mundo for a period of two years
PROJECT DATA
Project development plans are proposed as Attachment 2. There are no changes proposed to the building as a part of the Minor Use Permit (MUP) application. The project description of the Placemakr use is included as Attachment 3.
POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION
* The site of the proposed MUP is the recently completed Lafayette apartment building, located at 2333 Calle del Mundo. See Vicinity Map, Attachment 1.
* Placemakr proposes to rent 121 of the 347 units on a short-term rental basis (meaning renting the units for 30 days or less). Per the Santa Clara City Code, Placemakr will pay Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and the Santa Clara Tourist District Assessment (SCTDA) on all rentals.
* No changes to the building are proposed as a part of the proposed short-term rental use.
* All the proposed short-term rentals include one in-building parking space.
* Additional in-building parking spaces are available for a fee.
* Per the project description, as a part of check-in, guests are informed that there is no overnight on-street parking on Calle del Mundo.
* Per Santa Clara City Code Section 18.60.250, the request requires a MUP. Because one of the abutting neighbors has requested a public hearing, the MUP is being heard by the Director of Community Development pursuant to Code Section 18.114.040.
* A neighborhood notice was distributed within a 300-foot radius of the subject site for this project review.
