Planning commission approves short-term rental at 1430 Harding Road with occupancy limits

Miss Wright, the county planning staffer, presented a special-use permit request from Hokei Hill LLC owner George Trible to allow short-term tourist rentals in an existing three-bedroom single-family dwelling at 1430 Harding Road. She said the parcel is zoned R2, is served by a private well and septic, is outside FEMA flood hazard areas, and that VDOT had taken no exception to the request. Staff recommended approval with conditions including occupancy limited to eight occupants pending VDH approval, registration for meals and occupancy taxes, required building permits, no gatherings, no pets, provision of outdoor cameras for security, and quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily.
