Council clarifies transient‑rental parking limits in updated code language
Summary
Ordinance 2026-26, clarifying that transient lodging units are limited to garage capacity plus no more than two vehicles visible outside, was adopted unanimously to make enforcement clearer. The clarification reiterates an existing rule rather than adding a new restriction.
The Midway City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026-26 on Sept. 1 to clarify parking limits for transient lodging units, restating that such rentals are limited to garage capacity plus no more than two vehicles visible outside.
Community Development Director Michael Henke explained the amendment clarifies existing language to ease enforcement. Council Member Andy Garland moved to adopt the ordinance; Council Member Kevin Payne seconded the motion and it passed 5–0. Kevin Ross objected after the vote.
Council members emphasized that once a property is licensed as a short-term rental, the parking requirement applies year-round, including when owners or their personal guests occupy the house. Staff said clearer wording will help code enforcement and property managers comply with the ordinance.
