Commission approves short‑term rental SUP at Chandler’s Landing, citing applicant compliance
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a specific‑use permit for a short‑term rental at 108 Reliance Court in Chandler’s Landing, 6–0, after staff flagged proximity within 1,000 feet but the applicant demonstrated rule compliance and operational controls.
The Planning & Zoning Commission on Tuesday approved a specific‑use permit (Z2024‑046) allowing a non‑owner‑occupied short‑term rental at 108 Reliance Court in Chandler’s Landing.
Henry (city staff) told the commission the applicant’s property sits about 950 feet from another permitted short‑term rental (property‑line to property‑line) and is within an area with several similar uses; staff said the SUP process exists to allow case‑by‑case relief. Wendy Peterson, the applicant, told the commission the family built and maintained the house for 30 years, recently moved out of town to care for relatives, and intends to rent responsibly under the city’s STR rules including insurance, parking and noise requirements.
Neighborhood commenters urged strict enforcement of rules but acknowledged that the applicant had followed the city’s SUP process rather than operating illegally. After debate over whether the 50‑foot proximity to the buffer merited denial, Commissioner Connolly moved to approve Z2024‑046 and Commissioner Hastings seconded; the motion carried 6–0. The SUP will be presented to City Council for final action.
What’s next: City Council will review the PNZ recommendation at its next meeting. If council approves, the applicant will proceed with permitting and the city will monitor compliance with its STR regulations.
