Council informed of two short-term rental special-exception requests; Planning Commission recommended approval
Summary
Planning staff reported two special-exception requests to permit short-term rentals at 1306 Keith Drive and 303 Martin Luther King Drive; both were identified via the city's monitoring system, passed inspections where required, had no neighbor objections at the Planning Commission hearing, and the commission recommended approval.
Perry City planning staff presented two special-exception applications on April 7 seeking permission to operate short-term residential rentals.
Ms. Carson said SUS0007-2026 would allow a short-term rental at 1306 Keith Drive; the owner, Leonard H. Samples, was routed through the approval process after the city's monitoring system flagged the property. "He was glad to comply. He just wasn't aware that there was a permit required," Ms. Carson said. Planning Commission recommended approval and staff reported no feedback from surrounding residents.
Ms. Carson also presented SUS E0013-2026 for 303 Martin Luther King Drive, owned by James R. McGee. She said the property is part of the Bloodworth, Beckham and Nunn subdivision (platted in the 1920s), passed inspection per city requirements, and the Planning Commission recommended approval as submitted.
Council members complimented renovations at the properties and noted both houses had been renovated after periods of vacancy. Action on these special exceptions was listed for the upcoming council meeting; no formal council vote was recorded in the pre-council session.
