Moultonborough selectmen agree to form short-term rental advisory committee after public comment
Summary
After hearing residents’ concerns, the Board of Selectmen reviewed the Town Planner’s Short-Term Rental memorandum and agreed to establish a time-limited advisory committee to develop an ordinance for later consideration; Catherine Callais and Joe Cormier provided public input.
The Moultonborough Board of Selectmen on March 3 discussed whether the town should adopt a short-term rental ordinance or a zoning regulation and agreed to form a time-limited Short-Term Rental Advisory Committee to draft possible regulations.
Board members said they wanted a balanced approach that would address community concerns while weighing impacts on local housing and tourism. The board reviewed the Town Planner’s updated Short-Term Rental memorandum and reached consensus to form the advisory committee to gather more information and public input before presenting an ordinance for consideration.
Residents spoke during the discussion. Catherine Callais (12 Duffault Road) and Joe Cormier (817 Moultonboro Neck Road) raised questions and comments recorded by the board. No vote on an ordinance was taken; the action was to initiate a committee to study options and solicit broader public feedback ahead of any formal proposal.
