Allow Responsible Hosts To Rent Unique & Alternative Structures


Allow Responsible Hosts To Rent Unique & Alternative Structures
The Issue
WHAT'S AT STAKE- Our beloved High Desert -Joshua Tree, Pioneertown etc- is one of the most beautiful and unique places you'll ever visit! Part of our landscape is a dynamic array of boutique rentals including vintage travel trailers, teepees, camping, yurts, and homestead cabins all owned and run by locals in the community. These incredible desert escapes have provided people a break from the stresses of daily life and a place to stay for thousands of visitors, which in turn brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue and taxes to a county that is in massive debt.
However in two months all of these rentals will be forcibly shut down based on an arbitrary decision due to lack of resources and willingness by the County of San Bernardino. Even though the County supports big box stores, strip malls, chain hotels and so on, they have decided this local community cottage industry should be illegal.
In an effort to push back and help the County see what locals and scores of happy visitors already know, we need your help.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION if you’d like San Bernardino County to take the time to draft code to allow responsibly-managed and regulated alternative structures to continue rather than shut them down without any consideration of it’s impact and no input from the community.
We have come together and are hiring a lawyer to encourage the county to listen to us, if you have any amount to spare please consider donating to or Gofundme campaign to help with the legal fees. https://www.gofundme.com/manage/save-our-alternative-rentals
