Commission agrees to discuss short-term rentals; staff told to coordinate with ADU changes
Summary
The commission agreed to begin discussion and drafting of a short-term rental ordinance after city council signaled openness; staff and commissioners emphasized coordinating any short-term rental rules with proposed ADU changes because ADUs are currently barred from short-term rentals.
The planning commission agreed to begin formal discussion on short-term rentals and to craft ordinance language rather than simply maintain the current ban.
Planning staff said city council signaled it was comfortable with the planning commission taking up short-term rentals and attached a draft ordinance for reference. Staff noted the ADU ordinance currently contains a line barring short-term rentals in ADUs; commissioners said that overlap means the ADU amendment and any short-term rental ordinance should be coordinated.
Commissioners recommended the item appear on a future agenda as a discussion item first, with a possible public hearing after drafting. Staff proposed returning in January with suggested language and alternatives for the commission to consider.
