Council moves to draft ordinance to allow short-term rentals in commercial zones
Summary
Following a planning commission recommendation, council members asked staff to draft an ordinance to add short-term rentals to permissible uses in the commercial land-use table.
EUREKA, Utah — The Eureka City Council directed staff to draft an ordinance to add short-term rentals to the list of permissible uses in commercial zones, following a recommendation from the planning commission and prior discussion at a work meeting.
Why it matters: adding short-term rentals to permissible commercial uses would create a legal path for property owners and businesses to operate short-term lodging in commercially zoned buildings; it requires an ordinance amendment to the land-use table.
What happened - Councilman Scott Pugh said the planning commission suggested short-term rentals be added to permissible uses for commercial property. Brad (staff member) said he will prepare an ordinance amendment to modify the land-use table and bring it back to the council before the next meeting.
Next steps: Brad will prepare the ordinance language and present it to the council for consideration at a future meeting; the amendment will proceed through the normal ordinance-adoption process (public notice, hearings, readings) as required by the municipal code.
Ending: Councilmembers expect the staff-prepared ordinance to be available before the next meeting for review and potential scheduling of hearings.
