Commission approves Chelsea Durden short-term rental made from shipping containers
Summary
Planning staff told commissioners Chelsea Durden's Old Hatch Town Road short-term rental passed inspection and has been operating for about two years; commissioners approved the conditional use permit after noting the unit's shipping-container construction and added HVAC.
The Garfield County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a short-term rental operated by Chelsea Durden on Old Hatch Town Road. Staff said the property had passed inspection and that the applicant has been running it for roughly two years; the commission voted to approve the permit by voice vote after a motion and second.
Staff described the structure as shipping-container units finished with decking and air-conditioning; a commissioner said "it's basically just a house with metal siding at this point," noting the property's amenities and recent inspections. Commissioners discussed that the unit had been inspected and that permitting details were in order before the vote.
The approval allows Durden to proceed with licensing steps required by county ordinance. No conditions beyond standard inspection and licensing requirements were recorded in the transcript.
