MEMORANDUM To: Saint Anthony Village Planning Commission From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date: July 15, 2025 GC Project No. 140.00 Property Location: NA Request: Short Term Rental Ordinance Amendments BACKGROUND The Planning Commission considered regulations related to rental housing at a public hearing in June, 2025. The Commission discussed the several sections of a draft ordinance related to both short-term and long-term rental housing in the Village. The Commission expressed any interest in further discussing short-term rentals, and tabled action on those aspects of the proposed ordinance. The ordinance developed by staff under consideration was reflective of the City Council's direction, generated at a prior work session and other meetings, that short-term rental housing should be prohibited. This direction was again reflected in the Council work session on rental housing on July 8, 2025. The draft ordinance sections related to short-term rental housing is again before the Planning Commission. There were a variety of questions and comments made by the Planning Commission on this aspect of rental housing, which were relayed both through the recording of the Commission's meeting, and summarized by staff for work session review. Although the Commission raised a number of items, focused on an allowance for short-term rental and how to regulate it, the City Council reaffirmed its lack of support. CONCLUSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION In summary, staff has resubmitted the tabled aspects of the rental housing ordinance for Planning Commission consideration related to short term rentals. The proposed language has the effect of explicitly prohibiting this land use on residential property. For short-term rental, the central question is whether the Commission recommends approval or denial of the proposed ordinance. It is further noted that under general zoning law, the City has up to 120 days to consider and finalize its action on a zoning request. As such, the common expectation is that the Planning Commission shall forward its recommendation to the City Council within 60 days, to ensure that the Council will have adequate time to deliberate on the proposal. As such, staff would note that the Commission should provide its recommendation at its July 15 meeting. ATTACHMENTS • Draft Ordinance
