21st Street Short-Term Rental Permit
At a glance
- What: Request (agenda item 13) for a conditional use permit for a three-bedroom short-term rental on 21st Street, entered from a half street. It needs three off-street spaces and has a three-car gravel pad that does not meet public works standards.
- Where it stands: The Planning Commission recommended approval 10-0 on October 14, 2026, as modified. The City Council makes the final decision.
- What's next: A City Council hearing, date to be set by staff.
Details
- Staff condition 2 requires a driveway built to city standards, with a permit, before the first annual short-term rental permit. The site has no prior zoning complaints; the last documented stay was June 1, 2026.
- The owner, an out-of-state resident who joined by video, said the prior owner's grandfathered status lapsed after a gap in rentals, so the property is back at the permit stage. He plans mainly summer short-term use, mid-term rental in winter and some personal use, and had not formally asked neighbors.
- Commissioner Plumbley pulled the item for a hearing because of half-street complaints. He moved approval with a condition that the permit not take effect until the rental is in good standing with the commissioner of revenue and registered to pay taxes; Commissioner Skunover seconded. Vote 10-0.
