Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for residential development by allowing increased floor area ratios and building heights in exchange for property owners voluntarily prohibiting short-term rentals and transient uses. This aims to encourage permanent residential housing and reduce the conversion of residential units to vacation rentals.

Conditions:

• Property must fully vacate all existing transient uses
• Property owner must vacate existing short-term rental approvals
• Execute restrictive covenant prohibiting rentals less than 6 months and 1 day
• Prohibit all transient uses in perpetuity

Compliance Findings:

Key Issues
