Sec. 98-106. - Vacation rentals.

(a) Authority, Scope and Purpose.

(1) This section is enacted under the home rule power of the City of Deerfield Beach in the interest

of the health, peace, safety and general welfare.

(2) Section 509.013, Florida Statutes, provides a distinction between "transient public lodging

establishments," which are rented, or advertised or held out for rental to guests more than three

times in a calendar year for periods of less than 30 days or one calendar month, whichever is

less; and "non-transient public lodging establishments," which are rented, or advertised or held

out for rental to guests for periods of at least 30 days or one calendar month, whichever is less.

(3) Section 509.242(1)(c), Florida Statutes, further provides for a subset of transient public lodging

establishments, called "vacation rental," which is any unit or group of units in a condominium or

cooperative or any individually or collectively owned single-family, two-family, three-family or four-

family house or dwelling unit that is also a transient public lodging establishment, but that is not a

timeshare project.

(4) It is the intent of this section to regulate life safety requirements for vacation rentals, as defined

by Florida Statutes, which are located in residential dwelling zoning districts of the City of

Deerfield Beach.

(5) In 2011, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 883, (Chapter 2011-119, Laws of Florida),

amending Florida Statutes, Section 509.032(b) to provide that "[a] local law, ordinance or

regulation may not restrict the use of vacation rentals, prohibit vacation rentals or regulate

vacation rentals based solely on their classification, use or occupancy. This paragraph does not

apply to any local law, ordinance or regulation adopted on or before June 1, 2011."

(6) In 2014, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 356 (Chapter 2014-71, Laws of Florida),

amending that same statute to read "[a] local law, ordinance or regulation may not prohibit

vacation rentals, or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals. This

paragraph does not apply to any local law, ordinance or regulation adopted on or before June 1,

2011.

(7) This section does not prohibit vacation rentals, or regulate the duration or frequency of vacation

rentals, nor is it the intention of the City of Deerfield Beach to do so, but rather this section is

intended to address life safety and compatibility concerns and the secondary effects of vacation

rentals in residential neighborhoods in the interests of health, peace, safety and general

welfare.

(b) Findings of fact.

(1) Residents residing within their residential dwellings are inherently familiar with the local

surroundings, local weather disturbances, local hurricane evacuation plans, and means of

egress from their residential dwellings, thereby minimizing potential risks to themselves and

their families.

(2) In contrast, transient occupants of vacation rentals, due to their transient nature, are typically

not familiar with local surroundings, local weather disturbances, local hurricane evacuation

plans, and means of egress from the vacation rentals in which they are staying, thereby

increasing potential risks to themselves and their families, and putting an additional burden on,

and potentially putting at risk, emergency personnel in the event of an emergency situation.

(3) Certain vacation rentals are presently located within the city's residential dwelling zoning

districts.

(4) Vacation rentals, left unregulated, can create negative impacts within residential

neighborhoods due to excessive noise, parking and traffic problems, excessive use and impact

on public services and public works, extreme size and/or greater occupancy.

(5) Vacation rentals situated within residential neighborhoods can disturb the quiet nature and

atmosphere of such neighborhoods, and the quiet enjoyment of its residents.

(6) Vacation rentals located within established residential neighborhoods can create negative

compatibility impacts relating to extreme noise levels, late night activities, on-street parking

issues and traffic congestion.

(7) A residential dwelling is typically the single largest investment a family will make, with the

residents of the residential dwelling desiring the tranquility and peaceful enjoyment of their

neighborhood without excessive noise and increased parking issues and traffic congestion

caused by transient occupants of vacation rentals.

they are in compliance with this section and the applicable zoning district regulations. No person

shall rent or lease all or any portion of a "dwelling unit" as a "vacation rental," as those terms are

defined in section 98-3, without complying with the following standards governing the use of any

vacation rental as a permitted use:

(1) Minimum life/safety requirements:

a. Swimming pool, spa and hot tub safety. A swimming pool, spa or hot tub shall comply with

the current standards of the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, Chapter 515, Florida

Statutes.

b. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detection and notification system. If an interconnected

and hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detection and notification system is not

in place within the vacation rental, then one such system shall be required to be installed

and maintained on a continuing basis consistent with the requirements of Section R314,

Smoke Alarms, and Section R315, Carbon Monoxide Alarms, of the Florida Building Code-

Residential.

c. Fire extinguisher. A portable, multi-purpose dry chemical 2A:10B:C fire extinguisher shall

be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance with NFPA 10 on each floor/level of

the dwelling unit. The extinguisher(s) shall be installed on the wall in an open common

area or in an enclosed space with appropriate markings visibly showing the location.

d. Battery powered emergency lighting of primary exit. Battery powered emergency lighting

which provides illumination automatically in the event of any interruption of normal lighting

shall be provided for a period of not less than one hour to illuminate the primary exit.

e. Emergency egress and maintenance. Halls, entrances and stairways within a vacation

rental shall be clean and ventilated. Hall and stair runners shall be kept in good condition.

Rails shall be installed on all stairways and around all porches and steps.

(2) Maximum occupancy. Each vacation rental dwelling unit shall be occupied by no more than

one "family", as defined in section 98-3 of this Code, and in no event shall maximum occupancy

of such dwelling unit exceed two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons.

(3) Minimum vacation rental lease wording. The vacation rental lease agreement shall contain the

minimum information as provided for in subsection 98-106(f).

(4) Minimum vacation rental information required postings. The vacation rental shall be provided

with posted material as prescribed in subsection 98-106(g).

(5) Responsible party. Designation of a vacation rental responsible party capable of meeting the

standards for yard and landscape areas), section 58-69 (Preparation and storage of residential

refuse), section 66-58 (Parking prohibitions on certain streets) and section 98-74 (Swimming

pool enclosure requirements).

(d) Registration required. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a vacation rental within the

corporate limits of the city without first registering the vacation rental with the planning and

development services department in accordance with the requirements in this subsection. All

such later date is approved by resolution of the city commission.

(1) Initial registration. Every vacation rental owner, either personally or through an authorized

agent, shall first register with the city by submitting to the planning and development services

department a properly completed registration form, utilizing a form approved by the city,

together with a registration fee in an amount established by resolution of the city commission. A

separate registration form shall be required for each vacation rental. The registration form shall

include the following submittals:

evidence.

in connection with the vacation rental obligations under this section.

(j) Additional time to comply with minimum life safety standards. Some existing vacation rentals may not

Every residential or nonresidential building and structure shall comply with the following

requirements:

(1) Foundations, floors, walls, ceilings, roofs, windows, doors and all other exterior building parts

shall be structurally sound, weatherproof, watertight and rodent proof, and shall be kept in a

good state of repair. Roof surfaces shall be weathertight and watertight to prevent rainwater

from entering or causing dampness in any portion of the building or structure. Roofs shall be

maintained to minimize discoloration of the surface that is caused by mildew or mold. Where

water is permitted to stand on a roof for cooling purposes, the roof must be designed for that

purpose and proper precautionary measures taken to prevent breeding of mosquitoes and other

similar insects.

(2) Gutters and downspouts, where in existence, shall be kept clear of debris and be maintained in

a good state of repair and working condition.

(3) Every outside stairway, porch, balcony, corridor and every appurtenance to such places shall

be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.

(4) Every accessory structure shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition, free from rodents,

vermin and infestations. Fences, garden walls, sheds, docks and similar enclosures shall be

maintained in a good state of repair.

(5) Screen enclosures and awnings (both residential and commercial) shall be kept in a good state

of repair.

(6) All exterior surfaces of buildings or sheds, excluding roofs, shall be properly maintained and

protected from the elements by paint or other protective coating applied in a workmanlike

fashion.

(7) Each exterior wall surface of buildings and structures shall be kept free of faded or chipped

paint, and shall be maintained in a good state of repair and good condition to prevent

deterioration, and must be cleaned (pressure and/or chemical), repainted or recovered with like

material(s) when 25 percent or more any exposed surface becomes discolored or is peeling.

(8) Outside storage of materials, equipment and inoperable vehicles (if permitted) shall be

restricted to the rear yard area and screened by an opaque fence or hedge so that such

materials are not visible from any public right-of-way or adjoining lot. The outdoor storage of

earthen material (as defined in the Land Development Code) shall be maintained to deter loose

material and dust from circulating beyond the subject property, which maintenance at a

minimum shall include use of a watering system on a daily and as needed basis.

Additional regulations pertaining to the zoning district in which the building or structure is located may

apply.

(Ord. No. 2011/055, § 1, 12-6-11; Ord. No. 2019/005, § 2, 2-5-19)

Sec. 14-106. - Minimum standards for yard and landscape areas.

(a) No yard, landscape area, or growth of landscape material shall so encroach upon the public right-of-

way as to hinder safe and convenient vehicular or pedestrian movement in the public right-of-way.

(b) The owner, tenant and their agent, if any, shall be jointly and severally responsible for the proper

maintenance and protection of landscaping and irrigation systems existing or hereafter installed.

Maintenance shall include watering, weeding, mowing, treating, mulching, trimming, removal or

replacement of dead or diseased plants, removal of refuse, debris and garbage on a regular basis so

as to continue a healthy growing condition and present a neat and well-kept appearance at all times.

The owner, tenant or agent shall be notified, in writing, of any areas which are not being properly

maintained and shall, within 30 calendar days from the time of notification, restore the landscaping to

a healthy condition. It shall be a violation of this section to fail to maintain landscaping.

(d) The existence of a nuisance as defined in section 14-101 is prohibited.

(e) Storage of any derelict or partially dismantled motor vehicle, trailer, boat, machinery, refrigerator,

washing machine, plumbing fixture, furniture, storage container or similar article is prohibited unless

the above is stored in a fully enclosed structure. Storage containers do not include refuse containers.

As set forth within section 58-69(g) of this Code all residential refuse containers shall be stored in an

enclosed structure, or screened from view from the street in a location which is further back from the

street than the setback for the residence when not placed for collection of refuse. The screening may

be either opaque landscaping or a fence or wall; or if no such location exists, the residential refuse

container shall be placed flush against the front or side wall of the residence.
