V. OLD BUSINESS

A. Draft Regulations - Short-term Rental (continuation)

Mr. Zenner introduced the topic and recapped where the Commission had last left

the discussion. Previously, the Commission had approved definitions for Owner,

Principal Resident, Principal Residence, and Secondary Residence. When reviewing

related definitions, Commissioners expressed a strong interest in consistency.

Mr. Zenner showed the Commissioners the following proposed definitions which

were discussed, amended, and subsequently voted upon. Vote totals are shown

within (parenthesis).

Short-term Rental. ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0)

Short-term Rental (Tier 1). ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0)

Short-term Rental (Tier 2). ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0)

Short-term Rental (Tier 3). Requested to be further

amended to provide greater clarity as well as address

various scenarios relating to non-primary or secondary

ownership and primary and secondary ownership with

rental over 120 days in a calendar year.

Short-term Rental Intermediary. ADD DEFINITION.

(Approved 9-0)

Transient Guest. ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0) - There

was discussion relating to the use of 30 or 31 days within the

definition. It was agreed that the definition would use 30

days; however, that such choice may be changed to 31 days

following additional review of related Municipal Code

sections by legal counsel.

Hotel. ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0)

Bed and Breakfast. ADD DEFINITION. (Approved 9-0)

The Commission and staff began discussing use-specific standards for the newly

defined terms, ultimately starting with Short-term Rental (Tier 1). Commissioners

brought up the topic of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and how they may be used

in conjunction with STRs. The Commission unanimously agreed STRs should not be

entirely prohibited from ADUs and that there would be scenarios in which ADUs

should be permitted to operate as STRs. Mr. Zenner noted that the two most recent

Planning and Zoning cases for ADUs in R-1 zoning districts carried conditions

suggested by the Commission relating to occupancy and/or rental status

Having established definitions, Mr. Zenner indicated that at the next work session

the Commission would be able to continue discussing regulatory standards for the

various tiers of STRs. He noted that the next published version of the draft would

be updated to include the adopted definitions.
