The Venice Canals Action Committee recently released a community impact statement addressed to Councilman Mike Bonin regarding short-term rentals that are affecting the small, predominately R-1 canal community. This is the original Venice Canal community that is north of Washington Blvd.
The Venice Update in June of this year carried the story of international attorney and canal resident Ed Rucker’s travail trying to get enforcement of the laws on the book for a non-owner occupied canal property. He finally said he gave up. See Venice Update story. This action points out the importance of not only having a law but appropriate enforcement.
The following is the Venice Canals Impact Statement as produced by Darryl Dufay.
