Planning staff recommends approval for multiple CUP renewals, short-term rental and homestay applications on consent agenda
Summary
Staff presented a consent agenda that included renewals and new conditional-use permits for short-term rentals, homestays and entertainment uses; staff recommended approval on the items and said no neighborhood opposition had been received on the listed applications.
At its consent agenda, planning staff presented a group of routine land-use items including conditional-use permit (CUP) renewals and new CUP applications for short-term rentals and homestays. Staff recommended approval of each item and reported no opposition where noted in the transcript.
Items presented on the consent agenda included: a CUP renewal for Assembly (East Freemason Street) that permits live entertainment, extended hours and sale of alcoholic beverages; a renewal for the vacation rental at 2701 Pleasant Avenue (management unchanged, one prior landscaping violation in May 2023 noted but no ongoing complaints); a homestay renewal at 3901 East Oceanview Avenue (owner’s primary residence; CUP first issued March 2023; staff recommended five-year renewals for renewals and two-year CUPs for new approvals as stated); renewals and new CUPs for properties at 6309 Tidewater Drive (Roland Park area), 9555 Twentieth Bay, 961390 Ninth Bay Street (site described as new construction), 6227 Edward Street, 9537 Nineteenth Bay Street, 9507 Nineteenth Bay, and a homestay at 801 Colonial Avenue in Ghent. Staff presented neighborhood analyses for each property (percentages of single-family parcels and share of short-term rentals within 500 feet) and cited management arrangements and any past violations.
Commissioners asked routine clarifying questions about past violations, management arrangements and whether complaints had been received; staff said complaints were not present for most items and described one prior violation that had been resolved. No individual motions or votes on the consent agenda items are recorded in the transcript provided; the items were placed on the consent agenda for routine approval.
Ending: Staff indicated recommended durations for the CUPs (two- or five-year expirations depending on whether the item was a renewal) and the consent agenda items moved to the regular voting process as routine approvals.
