Riverside County Ordinance 927 was written at the end of last year to regulate short-term vacation rentals. The motivation for writing the ordinance was because of the Coachella Valley and its music festivals. It also covers rural areas like Temecula’s wine country and Idyllwild. When the Idyllwild Association of Realtors got news of this from an article written in the Town Crier, there were certain sections that were seen to be problematic for our mountain community, such as street parking and occupancy limits. So, a subcommittee was formed to address these issues. Meeting last Friday with 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington (second from left) at the Idyllwild Library were subcommittee members Johnny Wilson (left) and (from left, center) Marge Muir, Sheila Zacker and Trischa Clark. Revisions have been made to allow on-street parking in the Idyllwild and Pine Cove areas. Photo by Verne Lauritzen
