Planning Commission recommends ordinance to allow transfer of nightly rental licenses
Summary
The Commission recommended Ordinance 2026.XX to permit transfer of nightly rental licenses upon change of dwelling ownership. Staff noted the ordinance was prepared at City Council direction and that the city will not notify adjacent property owners when a change of ownership occurs.
The Toquerville City Planning Commission on June 10 recommended approval of a draft ordinance (Ordinance 2026.XX) that would amend Title 10, Chapter 17, Section 4 to allow transfer of nightly rental licenses when a dwelling changes ownership.
City Recorder and Planning/Zoning Administrator Emily Teaters said the amendment was drafted at the direction of City Council and summarized the proposed changes. Teaters said a member of the public had previously asked that nightly rentals be treated more like a business so licenses would be transferable on sale; she also told the Commission the city will not send notice to surrounding property owners when a nightly rental changes hands because the use of the home remains the same. The City Attorney noted the current draft is written to allow transfers.
Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance to City Council (motion carried 5-0). The supplied meeting minutes are summarized and do not include verbatim quotes from participants.
