Board approves special exception for additional Type II STR at 320 Baltimore Street
Summary
After hearing staff and applicant testimony, the Board of Adjustment granted a special exception allowing an additional Type II short‑term rental at 320 Baltimore Street, citing continuous operation since 2018 and a clean enforcement record.
The Board of Adjustment voted to grant a special exception for an additional Type II short‑term rental at 320 Baltimore Street.
City staff reported that the property and operator have no enforcement history and recommended approval based on the UDC criteria for special exceptions; staff noted prior approvals and timely hot‑tax remittance. Applicant Stewart Porter told the board he purchased and renovated the building and has “been licensed continuously since 02/2018,” testifying there have been no incidents tied to the operation.
Two voicemail comments were played: one by a neighboring property owner who described a past easement dispute but nevertheless voiced support for the Porters’ tenants, and another from a long‑time adjacent owner who said tenants had been “exemplary” and urged approval. Based on staff findings and the applicant’s record, the board granted the special exception by roll call.
