Council approves substitute short-term rental ordinance for wine district after heated vote; one abstention
Summary
Council removed Bill No. 5490 from the table and adopted a substitute ordinance modifying short-term rental rules for the wine district, removing density limits. Councilman Joe Brazil abstained due to owning short-term rentals; substitute passed 4-3.
Council removed the previously tabled Bill No. 5490 related to short-term rental regulation and considered a substitute ordinance.
Councilman Tim Baker moved to remove the bill from the table and later moved the substitute. The substitute removes density limitations in the wine district. Councilman Joe Brazil said he would abstain from the vote because he owns short-term rental properties in the affected area; Council voted 4-3 to approve the substitute ordinance.
Supporters said this change updates rules written before short-term rentals existed; opponents during public comment urged enforcement and use of code enforcement rather than new restrictions. The substitute ordinance will now control short-term rental rules in the wine district area referenced in the bill.
