I want to express my views on the Short Term Rental situation you will be
looking and making critical decisions on. Full disclosure here, I am a friend
of Paul House. Paul manages 13 STR’s in Bozeman. I remember Paul
starting his business managing these STR’s about 12 years ago. Paul has
always been an upstanding guy, and manages his business with integrity.
As currently proposed, non-owner-occupied rentals would be banned from
R2. At this time no major impacts of existing STRs have been identified. I
understand the concern with a future overabundance of STR’s, and it should
be addressed. I would suggest that the current Short term rental business
be grandfathered in to any new regulations you are considering.
