                For Sonoma County’s coast, regulation of vacation rentals must be consistent California Coastal Act. The California Coastal Commission has determined that vacation rentals are an important component of coastal access in areas with limited visitor lodging, such as Sonoma County. However, the Coastal Commission does support applying performance standards to Vacation Rentals when necessary to regulate nuisance, protect public health and preserve coastal resources.
