Alameda Council Agenda Includes Final Short-Term Rental Ordinance Vote Tonight

Alameda’s City Council agenda for Tuesday, October 6, includes final passage of a proposed ordinance establishing citywide zoning rules for short-term rentals of residential property.

The item, numbered 2026-6313, appears on the consent calendar. The city’s regular council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The proposal would add Section 30-19 to the municipal code. Its stated aims include preserving housing supply, addressing neighborhood impacts and creating a permit process for short-term rentals.

The agenda materials say the council considered the Planning Board’s recommendation at a public hearing on September 15. They also say the ordinance was not revised when it was introduced.

Residents and hosts following the decision can read the full proposal and related materials on the city’s legislative record. The council’s action and any implementation details should be checked against the official record after the meeting.
