Council discusses short-term rental cap, refers policy questions to Community Development Committee
Summary
Councilors revisited the village's short-term rental cap (60 allowed by 2025 legislation, roughly 40 currently permitted) and raised concerns about clustering and nuisance enforcement; council referred the topic to the Community Development Committee for further study.
Council members discussed short-term rentals (STRs) and whether the existing cap of 60, set by 2025 legislation, should be amended. Council President Tom Wolfe said the permitted number is "currently around 40" and noted clusters of STRs on certain streets, asking whether Buckeye Lake is becoming an STR-heavy community and whether the cap should be changed or the distance between STRs increased.
Mayor Linda Goodman said enforcement and inspections are underway and that STR regulation is "a completely different situation than before," indicating stronger enforcement is in place. Council sent STR policy and nuisance enforcement questions to the Community Development Committee for additional review; the meeting did not set a timeline for committee recommendations or specify any immediate regulatory changes.
