Board denies amendment to expand short‑term rental to five bedrooms on North 3rd Street
Summary
An application to amend a conditional use permit to allow five bedrooms on a North 3rd Street property was denied after staff and residents raised concerns about visibility, traffic safety on the hilly road, and existing parking burdens on neighbors.
The Danville board voted to deny an amendment to a previously approved conditional use permit that would have increased bedroom count from four to five on a property near North 3rd Street.
Staff explained the property sits on a hill where drivers travel at speed and where visibility is limited; adding a fifth bedroom could increase parking demand and worsen safety concerns. The applicant described recent driveway widening and graveling to add parking and said the intent was to offer lower‑cost multibedroom lodging primarily for families rather than multiple separate parties.
Neighbor Connie Campbell told the board she already experiences parking overflow from a nearby duplex and worried that five rooms (with two people per room under the ordinance) would make it difficult to maintain long‑term tenants and would increase noise and parking encroachment on her property.
A motion to deny the amendment was made, seconded, and carried. The denial was grounded in findings about road safety and the burden already placed on adjacent properties by parking. The board recorded that the existing application failed to show that increased bedrooms would not adversely affect the neighborhood.
No further appeals or follow‑on enforcement steps were recorded in the hearing transcript.
