Definition of single family residential use?
I’m considering buying a condo in Lake Tahoe. The CC&R contains the phrase that the use of individual Lots in the properties is hereby restricted to Single Family Residential Use. In no event shall a residence be occupied by more individuals than permitted by applicable zoning laws or governmental regulations.
Does this mean I cannot use the condo in a vacation rental program? Aren’t a lot of single family homes in Tahoe in vacation rental program? Does it mean that I cannot put more people than allowed in the zoning law or that I cannot rent it out at all as a vacation rental?
Thanks
Keith
Single family residential (SFR) is typically defined in many zoning codes as a single dwelling unit (a single household) per parcel. The phrase in the CC&R is aimed at any property owner wishing to develop a parcel within that zone, not the dweller or homeowner. In other words, the SFR zone does not permit the development of apartments or multi-family residences. However, since condos are legally defined as single dwelling residences, they are legal to develop in this zone.
Generally you should be able to rent out your condo unless the city’s zoning code prohibits or restricts “vacation rental” uses in that zone. To check, look in the “Permitted Uses” section of the zoning code that your condo is located in (probably SFR1, SFR2-3). Or just call the city and ask a planner.
