Board re‑approves short‑term rental at 2009 14th Street East; property previously licensed
Summary
The Zoning Board approved a special exception for a short‑term rental at 2009 Fourteenth Street East; staff and board noted the property’s recent prior approval and lack of public opposition.
The City of Tuscaloosa Zoning Board of Adjustments approved a petition on July 28 to allow a short‑term rental at 2009 Fourteenth Street East.
Jonathan Bowen, zoning administrator, told the board the property in Council District 5 had been approved for short‑term use the previous year. The petitioner, Mackenzie Worley, said the house is an investment intended to be paid down through occasional short‑term rentals and that the previous owner had used the property for short‑term stays.
Worley said the couple would follow local rules, post house rules, and equip the house with cameras and keypad locks. The petitioner requested fewer occupants than staff maximums; Worley requested a 2‑vehicle/4‑adult setup in practice, while staff recommended 4 adults and 2 vehicles.
No members of the public spoke in opposition or in favor. Board members noted the recent approval history and the petitioner’s willingness to follow rules. The board approved the exception with the staff recommendation.
The board’s action was recorded on the meeting agenda as ZBA‑47‑25; staff will verify compliance during the one‑year probationary period required for new licenses.
