      REQUEST:      Proposed amendments to City Ordinance, Chapter 758, the Short-Term Rental License.  This no longer includes prohibition of short-term rentals. The proposal is for increased regulations based on review of the current short-term rental status in this City and to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Short-Term Rentals (STRs) are more commonly referred to has AirBnBs or vacation rentals.

The City of Hamilton sought input on short-term rentals within the city limits to determine if Hamilton’s Short-Term Rental license program should be updated.  Based on the feedback received the City proposes changes and updates to the STR regulations. 

This item is being considered by the City Council a second time, following review of comments and input from the public, and consideration by Staff.

The application is only for proposed changes to the Short-Term Rental Regulations, Chapter 758.  Prohibitions within neighborhoods are no longer part of the proposal.

Notable proposed changes to the Short-Term Rental regulations include the following:

 ·         The Planning Department will send out a letter to all property owners within 100 feet of the short term rental notifying them that the property is being utilized as a short term rental, providing the emergency contact information, and also providing the best contact information at the City for problems.

·         Strengthening the violation/penalty section for Short-Term Rentals.

·         Improving the regulations around common problems like too many vehicles and noise violations.

·        New proposal: Limitation on number of beds.
