Some comments on this:
1. The current number of STRs is not causing complaints. They do allow people to maintain their homes, pay
taxes.
2. The proposal does not address the main concern of preventing too many STRs from being created.
3. Banning current STRs will provide no benefits and will not turn them back into long term residences
4. Banning currently State-compliant STRs is unfair and creates legal exposure for the city given that owners
have been advised for 20 years NOT to get a Conditional Use Permit
