Council narrows short-term rental exception, reduces citation threshold to two

The common council adopted an amendment to the city's short-term rental code that allows owners to obtain permits to rent for fewer than seven days if two conditions are met: the owner's primary residence is within 25 miles of the rental and the property has had no more than two City of Verona citations in the preceding 12 months. Staff framed the change as an exception to the existing seven-day minimum and said applicants who previously applied would be able to reapply without a fee waiver for resubmission.
