§ 17.47

"Short-term residential rental" means the rental of a residential dwelling unit, or a portion thereof, including a guesthouse, caretakers unit or second dwelling unit, to a person or group of persons for compensation of any kind, for lodging or sleeping purposes, or as an event venue, or for any other purpose than its intended use, for a period of less than thirty days. Further, any leases of a residential dwelling unit, or a portion thereof, including a guesthouse, caretakers unit or second dwelling unit for periods greater than thirty days and by more than four distinct occupancies (a rental person or group) in any calendar year, is also deemed a "short-term residential rental." This definition does not apply to licensed hotels and motels.

"Short-term residential rental advertisement" means any printed, or electronic, or any other form of announcement, whether in a magazine, newspaper, handbill, notice, display, billboard, poster, internet website or application, pertaining to a short-term residential rental within the city.

(Ord. No. 709, § 3(Exh. A), 10-10-2016)

The purpose of this chapter is to prohibit short-term residential rentals, including advertising for such rentals, as defined above, within the city limits. Short-term residential rentals negatively impact the already limited supply of rental housing within the city, and the presence of short-term residential rentals may

generate negative, secondary impacts, such as additional traffic, parking demand, noise, and may otherwise be incompatible with the zone in which the short-term residential rental may be located.

A.

Short-term residential rentals are prohibited in all zones within the city.

B.

Short-term residential rental advertisements are prohibited within the city.

C.

In the event that there is a conflict with another section of this code, this chapter will prevail in terms of prohibiting any type of short-term residential rental within the city.
