Residents press for short‑term rental moratorium; council to include option in upcoming study session
Summary
A resident asked the council to impose a moratorium on new short‑term rental permits while staff conducts a study; staff said a moratorium cannot be adopted tonight but can be agendized for a future regular meeting or study session, with a likely 45‑day initial term if approved.
Tracy Minor asked the council to place a temporary moratorium on new short‑term rental business permits, saying investor purchases on her street raised concerns the properties could become short‑term rentals. “We are just wanting to get a moratorium on issuing any new business permits,” Minor said, noting she and neighbors have created a Facebook group to gather support.
Staff replied that a moratorium cannot be imposed at that meeting without being agendized; the city attorney and staff described a standard process for moratoria (typically a 45‑day term with extensions). Council members asked staff to include a moratorium option when the short‑term rental study returns so the council could consider it at a regular meeting; staff agreed to present that option.
