Council reviews tighter short-term rental spacing; proposal would double minimum distance
Summary
Planning and Zoning recommended increasing minimum spacing between short-term rentals from 0.25 miles to 0.50 miles measured property-line to property-line; council members cited resident complaints and future housing needs tied to incoming workers.
Orangeville City Council considered an amendment to short-term rental rules during a May 14 public hearing, with Planning and Zoning recommending a larger minimum spacing between short-term rentals.
Amanda Lake, the city recorder, said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended changing the minimum distance from 0.25 miles to 0.50 miles. Councilman Doug Stilson said some residents had complained about the concentration of short-term rentals and said the city must preserve housing for families expected to move in to support nearby mines and operations at Valor Atomics.
Under the proposal described to the council, the 0.50-mile spacing would be measured as a straight line between the closest property lines of the two parcels. The transcript lists this item as ORDINANCE 2025-4; the council discussion recorded the proposed change but shows no final vote or ordinance adoption in the hearing minutes.
The council recorded no public comments on the matter during the hearing. Staff and Planning and Zoning will carry the item forward for future consideration as part of the ordinance amendment process.
