Commission recommends approval for Lithgow nightly‑rental permit with 10‑person maximum

The commission recommended approval of a conditional-use permit for nightly rentals at 85 South 100 West (Scott and Jen Lithgow) with a staff-suggested maximum occupancy of 10 guests. Staff summarized code rules for transient rentals — occupancy limits tied to bedroom count, property-manager licensing, and visible‑car limits for short‑term rentals in residential zones — and said the application is subject to the same procedural and enforcement framework as the other pending CUPs.

Commissioners asked procedural questions about TROD status and whether applications were submitted before the TROD reduction; staff said these three applications were submitted while the area remained in the TROD and therefore are vested under state law. A motion to recommend approval with standard staff conditions passed on a voice vote and the recommendation will be forwarded to city council for final action and licensing.
