I am writing to disagree with the recent change to the proposed short-term rental (STR) regulations.
Why is the City getting bogged down in legislating where STR's should/should not be located? Why not create
a permitting system to get all STR's registered and in compliance? To date no significant impacts of short term
rentals have been identified. Now rather than capping the number of STR's in any given zoning district a
blanket ban for R1-R2 is being proposed. This eleventh-hour change makes no sense.
I urge you to get current STR operators to register and comply rather than impose an outright ban in R1-R2. It is
entirely possible that required compliance may in fact lead to natural limits on density.
