Commission weighs parking, occupancy and emergency-access standards for rentals
Summary
Staff recommended a minimum of one parking space per bedroom for short-term rentals if treated differently than single-family units; commissioners also discussed keeping an occupancy standard of two persons per bedroom and adding emergency access/slope checks.
During discussion of the short-term rental draft, staff recommended requiring a minimum of one parking space per bedroom if rentals are classified differently than single-family dwellings, noting that the current single-family standard is two parking spaces per dwelling unit. Commissioners discussed how parking and occupancy standards would interact with possible commercial classification.
Commissioners retained a proposed occupancy standard of two persons per bedroom. Mr. Hahn also suggested adding "or equivalent government official" to references to the Director of Emergency Services and commissioners discussed including slope and access checks to ensure emergency apparatus can reach properties used as short-term rentals.
