Planning commission approves Peery family short-term rental at 1944 West 12960 South
Summary
Riverton Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing the Peery family to operate a short-term rental in an accessory unit at 1944 West 12960 South with standard conditions including advertising disclosure and an 8-person occupancy cap for non-permanent residents.
The Riverton City Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the Peery family to operate a short-term rental at 1944 West 12960 South.
City planning staff said the Peerys are owner-occupants and described the unit as an internal apartment accessed from steps at the end of the attached carport. "The applicants have read and, given us their assurances that they're aware of all of the short term rental requirements and intend to abide by them," staff said during the Feb. 27 meeting. Staff reported the neighborhood is zoned R-4 (single-family, 10,000-square-foot lots), the parcel is roughly a quarter acre, the house was built in 1960 and has about 1,700 square feet above grade with a 675-square-foot basement.
Applicant Tim Perry told commissioners the family chose a short-term rental rather than a long-term rental because "we have 2 boys in the Navy, and they come home, and, and so we'd like an opportunity for them to have a place to stay when they bring their families." Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether family members would use the unit; Perry said it would be available to them when they visit but not rented to them at those times.
Staff noted standard conditions added after recent short-term rental approvals, including a requirement that the owner disclose where they advertise and provide updates to city staff, and a limit of no more than eight non-permanent residents on the property at any one time. No public comments were received on the application. Commissioner Clough moved to approve application PLZ-2505 (Peery short-term rental); Commissioner Matheson seconded, and the motion passed.
The approval allows the Peerys to proceed under the city's short-term rental rules and the conditions imposed by staff; enforcement and ongoing compliance will follow the city's code and enforcement process.
