Highlights of Proposed Code Amendments

The Short-Term Rental Code Amendments touch on a variety of topics. A few notable changes are highlighted below.

• A short-term rental is clarified to be a dwelling unit or bedroom. It cannot be a nonpermanent structure such as an RV or tent.
• The term ‘Local Emergency Contact’ is defined and required to be listed with each application. The Local Emergency Contact is an individual authorized to address any complaints disturbances, and emergencies that may arise at a short-term rental, and his/her contact info is given to nearby property owners.
• A 1,000 registration certificate limit is established for short-term rentals in residential zoning districts. The limit is based on responses from our public outreach.
