In May, the City Council and Planning Commission convened in a work session to address <br />rental housing, including both short- and long-term regulations. In June, the Staff brought a series of <br />proposed amendments based on that direction to the Planning Commission for consideration at a public <br />hearing. The Commission made an extensive series of comments and recommendations on both short- <br />term and long-term rental housing regulations. The subsequent table illustrates the proposed ordinance <br />language with comments from the Planning Commission and additional context from staff. <br />The proposed ordinance text addresses short-term rentals from the standpoint of prohibiting that use. <br />The first 9 sections of the ordinance address this prohibition, making it more explicit (rather than relying <br />on the implicit prohibition under current language). The Planning Commission voted to table action on <br />these portions of the ordinance, pending an opportunity to create language that expressly allows and <br />regulates short-term rental housing. <br />Section 10 of the ordinance addresses limitations on long-term rental housing. The Commission <br />recommended a series of modifications to the proposed language and reached some consensus on the <br />methods of their proposed approach.
