The Planning Commission continued consideration of a proposed zoning-code amendment on short-term rentals (ZCA24-0003) to its Oct. 20 meeting after Vice Chair Richard Quirk recused himself because he operates an Airbnb in the city.
Staff told the commission the City Council has discussed short-term rental provisions in multiple meetings and that the draft ordinance, prepared with assistance from the city attorney, will be before the commission on Oct. 20. Vice Chair Quirk said he manages a property that could be rented short term and recused himself from the item.
Commissioners moved and seconded a continuance to Oct. 20; roll call showed Commissioner Connolly absent for this vote. Staff noted a short notice period and a publication mishap as reasons for re-noticing the item.
What’s next: The short-term rental ordinance and related materials will be included on the October 20 agenda for a full hearing, with Vice Chair Quirk recused from deliberation on this item.
