Council approves amendment allowing three cabins to operate year-round

Three Forks City Council · October 8, 2024

Summary

Following a zoning and planning recommendation, the council unanimously amended a conditional-use permit to allow three cabins at 126 E. Jefferson St. to be open year-round, with council discussion noting state limits on rental length.

The Three Forks City Council unanimously approved an amendment on Oct. 8 to a conditional-use permit for property commonly known as 126 East Jefferson Street to allow three cabins to operate year-round.

Mayor Johnston read the applicant's statement (submitted by Bret Robinson). Council and staff discussed short-term rental rules and state law: Councilman George Chancellor and Treasurer Kelly Smith noted state limits on rental length and that short-term operations would require compliance with the 28-day state rule for long-term rentals. Council members emphasized that if the owner expands rental operations beyond the current approval, further applications for additional cabins would be required. Councilman Buchanan moved to amend the conditional-use permit to allow the cabins to be open year-round; the motion passed unanimously.

The property description was read into the record as part of the zoning and planning board recommendation. The council's action codifies the planning board's recommendation and reiterates that any expansion of rental operations would require additional approvals.
