STR (min stay 30 days) occupancy in highly desirable areas?

[Malia Domingo]

In the area of my property the city has zoned out any STR under 30 days, but I did a little research and there are a few operating in the larger "no STR zones" but have a min occupancy stipulation of 30 day minimum stay- does anyone have any experience with this? Location is Santa Barbara Ca, walking distance to the historic Old Mission and a 2-5 minute drive to State Street. Thanks everyone!!!
