City Planner Stephen Grittman provided an overview of short-term <br />rental and long-term rental discussions to date. There was discussion regarding other cities best <br />practices and regulation. Mr. Grittman confirmed that other cities regulate and cap rental properties <br />within their respective jurisdictions. <br />Mr. Grittman described that the short term and long-term rental considerations would require separate <br />ordinances to regulate. Given the distinct nature of the two topics, staff anticipate that regulation would <br />result in separate license processes and requirements. <br />The group discussed short term rental regulation. In addition to previous consideration of regulation, <br />there was general consensus among the group to limit property owners to 2 or 3 properties total. <br />The group further discussed long-term rental regulation. The group discussed that renting provides <br />options for those experiencing hardships or extenuating circumstances, such as changes in marital status <br />or providing support for family members. There was general consensus to limit property owners to 2 or <br />3 properties total. There was further consensus to consider limit the amount of rental properties <br />throughout the city to a percentage of total single family properties. The group further expressed <br />interest in establishing zones within the city to support geographic diversity of renting single family <br />homes. <br />3
