LIVE OAK — County leaders lost the initial battle to crack down on vacation home rentals after the Housing Advisory Commission rejected a proposed ordinance Wednesday that would have capped the number of rentals, limited the number of people who could stay in the homes and mandated permits for operating vacation rentals.
The County of Santa Cruz is proposing an ordinance to regulate vacation homes in the county.

County leaders agreed Tuesday to craft rules governing vacation home rentals around Santa Cruz County after frustrated residents asked that something be done to rein in the parties, parking problems and other issues stemming from the influx of tourists to their neighborhoods.
At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Leopold will officially ask county planners to firm up details of an ordinance regulating vacation homes in the beach communities of Pleasure Point and the Santa Cruz harbor and everything in between.
