V. NEW BUSINESS  
A. 2025 Filing Deadlines and Meetings Calendar  
Mr. Zenner distributed the 2025 meeting calendar to the Commission members. He  
noted that with the exception of one meeting, June 19, the Commission had no  
other holiday conflicts within the coming year. Mr. Zenner requested that if  
Commissioners were aware of any personal conflicts that they inform him as well  
as the Chairman Geuea Jones of those dates such that possible quorum issues could  
be identified earlier than later.  
There was general discussion regarding the possible influx of STR applications given  
the impeding June 2025 compliance deadline. Mr. Zenner noted that to ensure an  
operator was “legal” before the full compliance deadline, STR applications would  
need to be submitted in late-February/early-March to clear through the Council  
process. Commissioners questioned what would potentially occur if the volume of  
STR applications dramatically increased.  
Mr. Zenner noted that this concern was expressed at the adoption phase of the  
regulations in February. It was noted at that time that if application volumes were  
to increase such that there was a need to have an additional “special-call” PZC  
meeting that would be discussed. There was general discussion on this topic and it  
was reiterated that seeking way in reducing the time allocated to discussing CUP  
request was undertaken to reduce the possibility of needing to add an additional  
meeting to the Commission’s schedule.  
Mr. Zenner also noted that it may be necessary to seek Council direction on  
possible modifications to the regulations in efforts to increasing compliance  
without the necessity of requiring a CUP. He stated that staff had not been  
requested to do so at this time, but based on his interactions with the public many  
concerns have been expressed that the regulation structure is a significant  
impediment that is leading to a lack of willingness to comply. Mr. Zenner said he  
would keep the Commission informed of the STR CUP caseload.
