Oak Bluffs committee to draft STR bylaw covering allowance, registration and inspections
Summary
The Ad Hoc Committee agreed to draft a bylaw outline that would allow short-term rentals as a use, require registration, and set inspection protocols including corporate ownership limits; the committee will reconvene July 27 to continue the work.
On July 20 the Oak Bluffs Short-Term Rental Ad Hoc Committee agreed to focus its next steps on drafting a bylaw outline that would address three core components: whether to allow short-term rentals as a use, registration requirements, and inspection protocols including restrictions on corporate ownership. Bill Cleary led the discussion toward a bylaw-focused approach and the committee set a follow-up meeting for July 27 at 4:30 p.m.
The decision on July 20 was procedural: the committee did not adopt any ordinance or regulation but instructed staff to draft the outline for future deliberation. The meeting concluded after Leah Brown moved to adjourn at 5:48 p.m.; the motion was seconded by Keija Minor and passed unanimously.
