Franklin council adopts cannabis and short-term rental ordinances, advances land-sale and planning items
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 45-15-26 (cannabis code update) and Ordinance 45-16-26 (short-term rentals), introduced several planning-related ordinances for first reading and scheduled further hearings.
After the ALPR presentation and public comment, the council moved through its legislative calendar. The council opened and closed the public hearing on Ordinance 45-15-26, rescinding and replacing the municipal cannabis chapter, and adopted the ordinance by roll call.
Council then held a public hearing and adopted Ordinance 45-16-26, establishing short-term rental regulations including registration, insurance and enforcement provisions; several speakers had asked for narrow revisions to preserve protections for certain homeowners, and council members said they would consider targeted edits before the ordinance takes effect.
Council also introduced multiple ordinances for first reading related to land-development updates and authorized first-reading notice for a private sale of township-owned parcels to Habitat for Humanity, scheduling final hearings for the September meeting cycle.
