Board asks staff to draft short-term rental option for World Cup/250th window
Summary
Aldermen discussed authorizing a short-term rental window tied to upcoming World Cup and 250th events and directed staff to bring a draft that could be effective for a limited date range (staff cited May 1–July 31 as the model used elsewhere).
Aldermen discussed temporarily adjusting short-term rental permitting to accommodate the World Cup and the city's 250th celebration. Board members suggested limiting density with existing block-face rules, possibly waiving fees for a short window, and ensuring inspections before permits become effective.
City staff noted that other jurisdictions typically set a limited date window — roughly May 1 to July 31 — and that staff can bring a proposal for formal action. Miss Wagner said staff would prepare a draft for consideration at the Feb. 3 meeting so permitting and inspections can be planned in advance. The board gave consensus direction to move forward with a draft ordinance or policy for that limited window.
