Project Update #4 - August 24, 2022
August 18 Joint Work Session Outcomes & Next Steps
At the Joint Work Session of the City Council and Planning Commission on August 18, the group reviewed a draft ordinance from the City attorney. The draft ordinance included amendments to the City code concerning business regulations and zoning to license and regulate short-term rentals.
The group reviewed and discussed the draft ordinance, a draft application, and good neighbor guidelines. You can watch the discussion here. They determined the best course of action would be for the City attorney to make amendments to the draft ordinance, and send the amendments to the Planning Commission. At a work session on September 8, the Planning Commission will discuss and recommend changes if necessary.
What's Next?
The Planning Commission will review and discuss the revised draft ordinance at their work session at 6:30 pm on September 8, 2022. You can attend in-person at City Council Chambers or virtually via Zoom.
After the work session, the Planning Commission may choose to hold another work session, or bring the draft ordinance forward in a regular Planning Commission meeting. After the draft ordinance is approved by the Planning Commission, the Council will review the draft ordinance on initial posting (first reading) and vote on whether or not to bring it back for a final reading and vote at a future City Council meeting. This timeline is subject to change, and we will continue to provide updates via email and on the Project Page.
The moratorium on new short-term rentals remains in effect until October 14, 2022. At that time, the moratorium will expire unless prior action is taken, such as extending or removing it.
