Board discusses ordinance review and short‑term rental revisions as part of comp plan work
Summary
Board members said they expect the select board to return proposed revisions to the short‑term rental (STR) ordinance and discussed coordinating ordinance review with the comprehensive plan to avoid conflicting changes.
Board members raised the pending short‑term rental (STR) ordinance and the broader ordinance review as items to coordinate with the comprehensive‑plan work. Committee member (S3) asked whether the STR would be resurrected; others said the select board is expected to act on revisions and then the planning board will review any changes.
"Are we gonna resurrect the STR?" Committee member (S3) asked. Members agreed to ask the select board for clarification and to treat ordinance reviews in tandem with the comp plan to avoid inconsistent requirements. The conversation also touched on inspection and registration procedures for short‑term rentals, and concerns that registration could change tax treatment and therefore encourage noncompliance.
