Pacific adopts ordinance regulating short‑term vacation rentals

The Board of Aldermen of the City of Pacific voted 5‑0 on May 20 to approve bill number 5,280, which will become ordinance 3,451 and establishes regulations for short‑term vacation rental facilities in the city.

City Clerk read bill number 5,280 aloud during the meeting and Alderman Cleave moved to approve the bill; Alderman Stewart seconded the motion. The roll call showed five ayes and no opposition; the clerk announced that bill 5,280 “becomes ordinance 3,451.”

The ordinance was presented during the “consideration of bills previously introduced” portion of the meeting and was taken up after the Pacific Partnership presentation. No detailed provision text or amendments were discussed on the record at the meeting beyond the formal approval and the clerk’s reading of the bill title.

Because the board conducted a formal roll‑call vote and the ordinance number was assigned during the meeting, the action completes the board’s legislative step to adopt the regulation; any later administrative implementation or rulemaking steps were not detailed in the meeting discussion.

Members of the public and board members who raised questions at other points in the agenda did not seek further amendment to the ordinance once the roll call began. The meeting packet or future staff reports will be the appropriate places to find the ordinance text and implementation timeline.

The board proceeded next with mayoral reports and other agenda items.
