Council urges quicker action on short‑term rental cap; staff to send package to planning commission
Summary
Council reiterated direction to cap short‑term rentals and asked staff to prioritize moving a draft to the planning commission in July; staff indicated the cap will likely be packaged with signage and housekeeping changes but council discussed advancing the cap as a standalone item if needed.
Cannon Beach — Councilors pressed staff June 9 to expedite a short‑term rental (STR) cap the council previously directed, saying the issue has been pending for months and residents expect action. Staff said they intend to present a packet that includes the cap language, signage revisions, and housekeeping updates to the planning commission in July, with council action to follow in subsequent meetings.
Councilors expressed concern that packaging multiple changes together could delay the cap and suggested advancing the cap as a standalone measure if necessary to meet the council’s prior direction. Staff noted Measure 56 notification timing and planning commission scheduling requirements; the next planning commission meeting was identified as the vehicle to review the draft in July.
What happens next: Staff will finalize drafting and schedule the STR cap, signage and housekeeping language for the planning commission’s July meeting, and the council may move the cap forward separately if timing or procedural conflicts would cause delay.
