Neighbor tells city short‑term rental next door is "a nightmare" at public hearing
Summary
At a May 26 public hearing, a neighbor said a short‑term rental next door has been "a nightmare," prompting Mayor Smith to say the city will likely adopt a short‑term rental ordinance including possible zoning and fees. The hearing was closed by unanimous council vote.
Mayor Smith opened a public hearing at 5:15 p.m. on a proposed short‑term rental (Air B & B) ordinance and heard a neighbor complaint about a nearby rental property. Sam Roberts and his wife said the short‑term lease next to them has been "a nightmare" with constantly changing tenants and disrespect for neighboring property.
Mayor Smith told the council that the City of Paris currently lacks a B & B/short‑term rental ordinance and that the forthcoming ordinance will likely include zoning requirements and a fee. After hearing no further comments, Commissioner Griffin moved to close the hearing; Commissioner Hughes seconded and the roll call vote was unanimous in favor. The mayor indicated the city will proceed with drafting the ordinance for future consideration.
