F. Prevention of detrimental impacts to residents, the public interest, health, safety and welfare requires the immediate enactment of this ordinance. The absence of this ordinance will create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any code amendments, general plan amendments or specific plan amendments which may be adopted by the City; short -term residential rental uses may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the Code. Moreover, permitting such uses during said studies and implementation would create impacts on the public health, safety and welfare that the city council, in adopting this ordinance, has found to be unacceptable. G. The Request for Council Action for this ordinance dated September 15, 2015 and duly signed by the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency shall, by this reference, be incorporated herein, and together with this ordinance, any amendments or supplements, and oral testimony constitute the necessary findings for this ordinance. H. The City Council finds, determines and declares that the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the city and its citizens necessitates the immediate enactment of the ordinance. The facts constituting such urgency are set forth in paragraphs A -H of this ordinance. Section 2. No short-term residential rental is permitted in a residential zone as defined in Article I of Chapter 41 of the Code. Section 3. Any ordinance declared by the City Council to be necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety, and containing a statement of the reasons for its urgency, may be introduced and adopted at one and the same meeting if passed by the affirmative votes of at least two - thirds (213) vote of the City Council members pursuant to Section 415 of the City Charter and shall be immediately effective pursuant to Section 417 of the City Charter. Further, California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission or the planning division is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. Section 4. This ordinance shall have no further force and effect forty -five (45) days from the date of its adoption; unless, however, after public hearing the City Council members, by two- thirds (2/3) vote, extend this ordinance for an initial period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and thereafter, after public hearing, the City Council members, by two - thirds (2/3) vote, extend this ordinance one more year.
