Summary
The council approved a special-use permit to allow short-term rental at 2206 Warnell Road in an agricultural zone after the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval; staff said the property complies with short-term rental regulations and the council voted unanimously.
The Excelsior Springs City Council on May 5 approved Ordinance No. 25-05-02, granting a special-use permit to operate a short-term rental at 2206 Warnell Road (zoned Agricultural, District A).
Community Development Director Mallory Brown told the council the property is a single-family home the applicant owns and intends to rent via platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO when not occupied by the owner; staff recommended approval and the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its April 28 meeting after a properly noticed public hearing.
Brown said the proposed short-term rental complies with applicable regulations for such rentals; council members moved the ordinance to second reading and approved it on second reading by unanimous roll call (Rennie, McGovern, Speer, Mayor Pro Tem Saint John and Mayor Spahn voted yes).
Why it matters: The permit authorizes short-term rental operation in an agricultural zone under the city’s short-term rental rules and follows the Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation after public notice.
