Commission to recommend extension of short‑term rental moratorium while committee finalizes recommendations
Summary
A committee reported it has compiled data and is drafting recommendations on short‑term rentals; commissioners voted to recommend a 120‑day extension of the moratorium on short‑term rental conditional‑use applications to the city council.
Commissioner (speaker 6) reported on the short‑term rental committee's progress, saying the group had collected data and was beginning to draft recommendations. The committee told the commission it likely would need more time to finalize recommendations and that an extension of the 120‑day moratorium on accepting short‑term rental conditional‑use permit applications was probable.
"We are now... putting together a draft plan and... we are beginning to... have the facts in front of us as to what the numbers are," the commissioner reported. The commission then voted to recommend that the city council extend the moratorium by an additional 120 days if necessary; a motion was made and seconded and the commission recorded unanimous "Aye" votes in the meeting.
Commissioners emphasized that while the committee has near‑term work scheduled and will meet more frequently, formal recommendations for ordinance changes had not yet been prepared for public discussion. The commission's recommendation to council is procedural—intended to preserve the status quo while staff and the committee finish drafting proposed changes.
