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

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.
