City staff to bring short-term rental zoning amendment to Planning Commission on June 10; council set July public hearing
Summary
Council reviewed a draft zoning ordinance that would regulate short-term rentals — including annual certificates, occupational tax certificates, limits in historic areas, and off-street parking — and confirmed the planning commission public hearing on June 10, with a council public hearing scheduled in July.
The Newnan City Council confirmed the process and timeline for a proposed zoning ordinance to regulate short-term rentals.
City staff presented draft regulations that include an annual certificate for short-term rental properties, a required city occupational tax certificate, limits on how many homes in historic areas may operate as short-term rentals, restrictions on accessory structures (for example, prohibiting sheds from being used as guest units), and requirements for sufficient off-street parking. Staff said the zoning amendment requires two public hearings before final adoption.
Staff will take the draft to the Planning Commission for a public hearing at 7 p.m. on June 10; council staff said the commission’s recommendations will return to council for a public hearing in July at 6:30 p.m. Council did not take final action on the ordinance at the May 27 meeting but set the public-engagement schedule.
