The Port Clinton City Council voted unanimously on Sept. 23 to accept a Planning Commission recommendation and retain language in the city’s zoning ordinance that prohibits overnight rental and occupancy of dwellings.
Council President Lisa Sarty called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. in the Linda Hartlaub City Hall Council Chambers. The roll call recorded Council members Pat Hovis, Margaret Phillips, Beth Gillman, Richard Morgan, Cathy King, Avery Robinson and Jerry Tarolli as present.
Council member Jerry Tarolli moved to appoint Council member Beth Gillman as acting clerk of council; Cathy King seconded. The roll-call vote recorded Gillman, Phillips, Hovis, King, Robinson, Tarolli and Morgan as voting yes, carrying the motion 7-0.
Tarolli then moved to waive any and all irregularities in calling and conducting the meeting; Pat Hovis seconded. The minutes state that "all agreed," indicating unanimous consent to the procedural waiver.
The council reviewed a letter from the Planning Commission regarding a proposed text amendment to the Port Clinton Zoning Ordinance. Council member Beth Gillman moved to accept the Planning Commission’s letter and to retain the existing language in the ordinance — specifically, that "Overnight rental and occupancy of a dwelling shall be prohibited" in the definition of "Dwelling." Jerry Tarolli seconded the motion, and the roll-call vote was recorded 7-0 in favor.
With no further business, Margaret Phillips moved to adjourn; Avery Robinson seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 5:04 p.m.
The record does not specify any additional details about the Planning Commission’s rationale or the proposed amendment’s broader zoning implications; no public comment or deliberative debate appears in the minutes.
