Commission reviews ordinance to clarify residency rules; solicitor to present revisions to council
Summary
Solicitor Clint Bailey reported cleanup and restructuring of Ordinance 2026-02 to clarify residency determinations and home-occupation rules; the commission discussed short-term rental scenarios and agreed variances could address temporary absences. Bailey will present the revised ordinance to council for a second reading on March 2.
The Planning Commission reviewed Ordinance 2026-02, a proposed amendment to Chapter 155 intended to clarify and standardize residency requirements, including criteria for business entities and trusts. Solicitor Clint Bailey told commissioners he completed a general cleanup of the draft, removed emergency language, and revised the process to include three readings at council; he also expanded Section 3 (the amendment to home-occupations) for clarity.
Commissioners discussed how the ordinance should address residents who travel for extended periods but wish to operate short-term rentals during their absence. The panel agreed such cases could be handled through the variance process and that Council could consider further zoning-code amendments if requests of this nature become frequent.
Bailey said he will present the revised ordinance to Village Council on March 2 for its second reading.
