Public Comments & Testimony

  • Consent Agenda Support: Corey Vaughn submitted an appearance card for Item 2 (QuikTrip) indicating support but did not wish to speak.
  • Public Hearing (Item 7 - Short-Term Rental): No members of the public came forward to speak on the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance text amendment regarding short-term rentals.

Discussion Items

  • CZO Text Amendment – Short Term Rental (Case PLZT 2022-187): Staff presented a city-initiated text amendment to align the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO) with code of ordinance changes recently approved by the City Council on December 6, 2022.
    • Staff Presentation: Michael McCauley (Planning) and Corey Heipel (Environmental Services) detailed the amendments to Articles 5, 21, and 34 of the CZO. Key changes include modifying the term "Bed and Breakfast Inn" to "Short-Term Rental," modifying "Bed and Breakfast Home" to "Bed and Breakfast," and adding definitions for "Short-Term Rental," "Bed and Breakfast," and "Booking Service."
    • Regulatory Framework: Short-term rentals will require a Special Use Permit (SUP) in all single-family districts, allowing for public hearings on individual applications. They will be allowed by right in the downtown transit center and historic square areas.
    • Commissioner Questions:
      • Vice Chair Windrow confirmed that the primary purpose of the item was to update the zoning regulations to match the adopted code of ordinances and that SUPs in single-family areas ensure future public input.
      • A commissioner questioned the requirement for a "booking service." Staff clarified that the definition is broad, encompassing private websites, and is intended to differentiate short-term transient rentals from long-term tenants.
      • Commissioners Doyle and Foster discussed parking regulations, confirming no on-street parking is allowed for these uses, and enforcement would be complaint-driven by the Environmental Services Department.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent Agenda: Approved unanimously (8-0).
  • CZO Text Amendment (Short-Term Rental): Approved unanimously (8-0) with staff stipulations. The case will be forwarded to City Council for final consideration on February 7, 2023.
  • Staff Reports: Staff provided updates on City Council approvals from the previous month, including the Vapor Depot special use permit and text amendments regarding public hearing notices.
