Vacation Rental Code Update |
The City of Newport's existing rules for vacation rentals and bed & breakfast establishments are confusing and difficult to interpret and enforce. The Planning Commission established an Ad Hoc Work Group of community volunteers to research the issues, and develop recommendations. These recommendations were presented at a public workshop with the Planning Commission held Monday, September 12, 2011, in order to collect public comments on the proposal. |
A public workshop with the City of Newport Planning Commission was held Monday, September 12, 2011, to explain how the City regulates vacation rentals and bed & breakfast establishments and changes being considered to those rules based on the Ad Hoc Work Group's research and recommendations. Public comments on the proposal were gathered at that session. On the Vacation Rental Code Update 'Documents' page there is a link to the document (12/5/11) that discusses how these comments were addressed.
The draft Ordinance for File No. 1-Z-11 (and draft Attachment 'A'), adopting amendments to NZO Section 2-4-11, may be viewed from the links on the Vacation Rental Code Update 'Documents' page.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ACTION ON JANUARY 9, 2012, AND WILL CONTINUE DELIBERATION AT THEIR FEBRUARY 27, 2012, MEETING AFTER WORKING THROUGH CHANGES MADE TO THE DRAFT ORDINANCE BASED ON TESTIMONY RECEIVED AT THE HEARING. WITH SOME MINOR CHANGES MADE BASED ON TESTIMONY ON FEBRUARY 27TH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION FORWARDED A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THE CITY COUNCIL WILL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 19, 2012.
