SAN DIEGO (KGTV/CNS) – San Diego City Council Monday passed a proposal that bans Styrofoam and single-use plastics in a 5-3 vote. In July, the City Council Rules Committee voted 3-2 in favor of prohibiting the use and sale of containers and other items made with Styrofoam.The measure, proposed by Councilman Chris Ward, prohibits the use and sale of egg cartons, food service containers, coolers, ice chests, pool or beach toys, mooring buoys and navigation markers made partially or completely of polystyrene foam, commonly called by the brand name Styrofoam.The city's Environmental Services Department must also provide a list of safe, affordable alternatives to polystyrene products should the ban go into effect.Polystyrene products don't degrade the way more natural products do, taking hundreds of years to break down. Because of this long life span, marine and terrestrial fauna can and do mistake polystyrene for food."Our growing reliance on disposable plastic to fuel our ‘culture of convenience' is not without cost. Globally, an average of eight million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean," said Roger Kube, a policy adviser with the 5 Gyres Institute, when Ward introduced the proposal in May. "Once there, sunlight and currents shred plastic debris into smaller particles called microplastics, which absorb and concentrate toxic chemicals up the marine food chain and into our bodies. From plankton to fish, and to humans that eat seafood, plastic pollution is changing the very chemistry of life."Opponents of the ban claim it will have a disproportionately negative effect on local restaurants who may not be able to afford more expensive alternatives to polystyrene containers the way larger chain restaurants can. A study by the California Restaurant Association, San Diego Chapter, found that the ban could force small food service businesses to spend up to 145 percent more for polystyrene alternatives like compostable paper."We're opposed to the ban because polystyrene is a recyclable product," said Chris Duggan, the San Diego chapter's director of local government affairs. Duggan compared polystyrene's potential for reuse to that of an empty pizza box or a used paper plate and noted that polystyrene can be and is recycled into things like crown molding.Restaurant owners in City Council District 4, represented by Myrtle Cole, pushed back on the proposal Friday when they delivered more than 50 letters opposing the ban to Cole's district office. Restaurant owners in District 4 claim that Cole has not met with them despite multiple requests to voice their concerns."The impacts of Styrofoam and single-use plastics are permanent and threaten the health of San Diegans, wildlife, and industries critical to our region," Ward's office said. "Passing this ordinance puts us in line with other California cities on the issue to secure a safe, sustainable future for our marine environment, our children and their families." 2977

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) -- A San Diego Couple is breaking the internet after getting married at a Costco in Mission Valley Thursday. Margot Schein and Julian Parris told 10News they made the decision to get married at Costco because, after meeting on a dating app, they decided to have their first date at the store.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pacific Gas & Electric says it may cut power to some 1 million people this weekend in central and Northern California, which could see the most dangerous fire weather of the season. PG&E says it could begin safety shutoffs Sunday morning as gusts and low humidity ramp up the risk of downing power lines and sparking massive fires in tinder-dry brush. The shutoffs in 38 counties could last into Tuesday. PG&E equipment has been blamed for sparking some of the most devastating fires in recent years, including a 2018 blaze in Butte County that killed 85 people. This year, wildfires already have destroyed some 9,200 buildings and killed 31 people.Northern California officials are urging residents to leave homes in the hills, secure backyard furniture and other loose items and have an evacuation plan ready ahead of powerful winds that could lead to widespread electricity outages. 927

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) - Wild and violent parties at short-term vacation rentals like Airbnbs continue to make headlines. This past Spring in La n la Jolla, gunfire erupted during a party at an Airbnb mansion, terrifying neighbors. Team 10 investigative reporter Jennifer Kastner has spent weeks looking into whether vacation rental platforms are doing enough to protect our San Diego communities. Popular platforms Airbnb and Vrbo notified 10News that they do background checks, but the system isn’t infallible. Meanwhile, some local safety advocates say that the City of San Diego is, in part, to blame for the problem.10News’ cameras captured the chaos and cop cars on La Jolla’s Blackgold Road after shots rang out in May at a multimillion-dollar mansion that was being rented out on Airbnb. After filing a public records request, 10News recently learned new details from a report released by police. The report describes the "shell casings in the street," "[subjects] refusing to come out," and "[subjects] running upstairs."“I moved here actually 43 years ago,” says Val Arbab. The 87-year-old lives across the street and says the mansion is often rented out for big, loud parties. “It’s always many, many people. It's always adults. I only see males,” she tells us.Arbab and other neighbors say that partygoers clutter the street with cars and trash. The mansion owner declined an interview with 10News.Short Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs) have made headlines across the country after parties at STVRs got out-of-control. Security video from an STVR in Arizona shows a huge crowd. Partiers are seen leaving with the homeowner’s personal belongings, like his clothes. “[I was] watching my house and [I was] seeing them carry out item after item after item,” the homeowner later told a news crew. Security video from Sacramento shows someone firing off a handgun at a party hosted in an STVR. In Arizona, video obtained by a local news crew shows crime scene tape woven through a neighborhood where, earlier, a party at an STVR turned into a fight, leaving a young man dead.Other news crews captured video out of Pennsylvania after a party at an STVR became violent. “A dozen or so gunshots woke me up,” said a neighbor.Ann Kerr is the President of the La Jolla Town Council. We met at her home, a few miles south of the mansion where shots rang out. She's Chair of the San Diego Working Group on Short Term Rentals, which is pushing for better regulation of STVRs.“Our fundamental policy is that we welcome [STVRs] but not at the degradation of the quality of our neighborhood and we want good neighbor policies enforced,” says Kerr.The San Diego Working Group on Short Term Rentals has released 2019 recommendations for STVR regulations. These include establishing a new enterprise fund dedicated to the administration, monitoring, and enforcement of STVRs. The fund would hold all fees, taxes, and fines from the STVR industry. It would be used to help with operations related to permitting, monitoring, and enforcing STVRs. Another primary recommendation to deal with noise and nuisance is to assign STVR complaints to special STVR code compliance officers in an effort to relieve sworn police officers and regular City code compliance officers from responding to STVR issues. The status of STVRs remains a gray area in the City of San Diego. They're technically not permitted, but no one is cracking down on them until the Mayor's office and City Council adopt a resolution on how to regulate and enforce. “Who's enforcing this?,” we ask Kerr. She responds, “That's the whole question. Who's enforcing any of this? No one is right now,” she tells us.The San Diego Working Group is urging the City to adopt its recommendations as a new ordinance. “The longer that the politicians wait to put some kind of enforcement and compliance system in, the more vacation rentals will be established,” she says. She explains that in that time, the less peaceful neighborhood could become.Both Airbnb and Expedia Group (Vrbo and Homeaway) have an online submission form where neighbors can report concerns. An Airbnb spokesperson writes, “The overwhelming majority of Airbnb hosts and guests are good neighbors and respectful travelers. We encourage hosts to outline clear rules regarding minimum night stays, noise, parties, and events and we will take appropriate action -- including suspension or removal -- when our Community Standards have been violated.” On the issue of background checks, Airbnb writes, “While no background check system is infallible, we screen all hosts and guests globally against regulatory, terrorist, and sanctions watch lists. For United States residents, we also run background checks looking for prior felony convictions, sex offender registrations, and significant misdemeanors. We are working with additional governments around the world to identify where we can do more background checks.”A spokesperson for the Expedia Group writes, “We use technology to verify user accounts, giving travelers confidence in the authenticity of owner identities, and we conduct certain background screenings where we're able to. Although we take steps to confirm the identities of our community members, we advise travelers to always read owner profiles and reviews. We will continue to make investments to build impactful trust and safety policies, solutions and support. We support owners by educating them about best practices for creating safe and private spaces for travelers, and we use technology to verify the identities of owners and travelers whenever possible. We advise our community to follow state and local laws that may apply.”The San Diego City Attorney’s Office writes, “Short term rentals are not permitted under the San Diego Municipal Code. However, the Code Enforcement Division of the Development Services Department has not referred to our Office any cases for prosecution. Proposals such as the ones you listed fall under the jurisdiction of the City‘s policy makers, the City Council and Mayor, and can be addressed by them.”Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s Office sent 10News the following statement. "Following through on his commitment, the Mayor introduced a common-sense plan to regulate short term rentals last year. The Council adopted that framework but made modifications, which ultimately resulted in a referendum that prompted the City Council to rescind the ordinance. Our office continues to believe the Mayor’s original proposal was a fair compromise, and will continue meeting with stakeholders to determine if there is a legislative solution to this issue."In a follow-up email, his Office wrote, in part, “…the Mayor has always supported using revenue generated from fees applied to short-term rentals for code enforcement…Mayor Faulconer is committed to active enforcement to ensure hosts, guests and online platforms for short-term rentals are in compliance with the new regulations. That includes a new team of police and code enforcement officers to work evenings and weekends to address code complaints; the creation of a license and registration system that interfaces with City databases; and a new complaint hotline or mobile application for residents to report violations…”We asked the Mayor’s Office and other City communications officers for an update on when the issue of STVRs will be on the Council agenda again, so that a decision can be made about how to regulate and enforce them. The Mayor's Office referred us to Council President Georgette Gómez's Office. A spokesperson reported that there are currently no plans to put the issue on the docket.Arbab is hoping for any resolution to party problems so her street might one day return to what it used to be. We all knew each other and I was very happy,” she adds. 7792
