San Clemente does not require an on-site host for a standard STLU, but the owner must provide a 24-hour emergency contact who responds on site within 30 minutes to complaints about renter conduct or the property's condition.
STLU permit condition 5 requires the owner to provide a 24-hour emergency contact who will respond on-site, if requested, within 30 minutes to complaints about the condition, operation, or conduct of renters or their guests. The 24-hour emergency contact phone number is a required field on the STLU Operating License application. The names and 24-hour telephone numbers of the STLU owner and operator must be disclosed in the neighbor-notification mailing to all owners within 300 feet, along with the City's Code Enforcement number. This is a responsible-party standard, not a live-in host mandate; a standard STLU does not require the owner to occupy the unit while rented.
Failing to provide or respond through the required 24-hour contact violates condition 5 and the owner's condition-4 duty to address renter violations. Because the owner is responsible for guest conduct, an unreachable contact can support revocation.
