PLANNING BOARD
After Action
July 29, 2008
Workshop Discussion of Planning Issues
Short Term and Seasonal Rentals -Single Family Homes
The Board heard extensive public comment. Issues included duration; frequency; specific
single family neighborhoods; i.e., RS-1 districts and islands such as Palm, Hibiscus and the
Sunsets; homesteaded properties; whether it should be a codification issue or an
enforcement issue for Code Compliance to handle, etc. Often competing views expressed
by speakers and shared by board members included property owners' rights, vs. residents'
rights and impact on neighborhood quality of life; the need for options for visitors who want
to stay in a home (away from home) as.opposed to a hotel; short-term/seasonal rentals as a
means of generating income for some homeowners who don't live here all year round and
the real estate management companies who handle the logistics; the economic impact on
the community; possible restrictions, permitting, licensing; and how other communities
nationwide are handling the issue. The discussion will be continued at the August meeting.
