The issue of short term vacation rentals was on Monday night’s agenda. Council members discussed the pros and cons of short term rentals and had questions about how best to zone for such properties. Zoning regulations for vacation rentals are designed to insure that short term rental properties are maintained in an appropriate manner and are managed in such a way as to not become a nuisance to adjacent property owners. The proposed amendment for short term rentals was tabled and the Council will be working with the Planning Commission to get clarification on how best to proceed. A public hearing on this issue will be scheduled prior to any final decision on short term rentals.
The next City Council meeting will be held on April 3rd at 7:00 PM.
