Development Director, Mark Lee presented the staff report. Paul Zeps wanted clarification and a summary of objectives as
to why the City Council sent BSZO-01-26 Short-Term Rental Regulations back to Planning. Mark Lee stated that the City
Council sent it back because 1000' is too great, and they want more allowed. Chair Greg Gebauer asked if the council gave
a recommendation of the distance between rentals, and they are aware this is a pilot program, and it can be changed in the
future if needed?
Lloyd Mesmer asked if there was confusion as to what a short-term rental was vs. a regular rental. Why are we doing this?
Is it because of the World Cup? Mark Lee read the short-term rental definition.
