Board approves short‑term rental at 217 Waveland with parking, noise and contact conditions

The Danville Board of Adjustment voted to approve a conditional use permit allowing the operation of a short‑term rental at 217 Waveland Drive with conditions addressing parking, noise, occupancy and a local contact.

Planner Hannah outlined the application by Michael Digman for a three‑bedroom short‑term rental on a 0.643‑acre RM‑2 lot and reviewed the ordinance standards for overnight accommodations, occupancy (two adults per bedroom), and required permits and building/fire code compliance. The staff presentation noted limited short‑term rental presence on the street and emphasized that the board may attach conditions to protect surrounding residents.

Michael told the board the property is secluded with a long driveway and adequate parking; he estimated typical occupancy at six to eight people but acknowledged he would comply with the ordinance cap. Board members pressed for conditions addressing on‑site parking that is screened from neighbors, a 10:00 p.m. noise curfew consistent with the local ordinance, and designation of a local contact for complaints. Counsel and staff confirmed the ordinance limits occupancy to two adults per bedroom.

A motion to approve the conditional use permit with the listed conditions was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The conditions recorded in the hearing include: all parking to be on‑site and screened from neighboring properties, compliance with the local noise ordinance in the form of a 10:00 p.m. quiet hour, adherence to the occupancy cap, and provision of a local contact for the zoning office to reach in the event of complaints.

The board did not set a separate enforcement schedule at the hearing; compliance will be monitored through required permits and any subsequent complaints to zoning staff.
