Short Term Rentals: No Recommendation from the Land Use Committee; Likely to Require Additional Committee Discussion; Commission Not Scheduled to Act at Feb Meeting

It is likely that there wil be significant discussion of the Short Term Rental issue at the Flamingo Neighborhood Meeting on this Monday, February 1st, at The Seymour, 945 Pennsylvnai Avenue.


Over the last several months there has been substantial community discussion of the issue among residents and property owners, including some who have been engaged in short term rental activities.  There has developed a consensus position  -- perhaps best characterized as requiring compromixe from all parties.  The consensus position was embodied in the Resolution adopted by the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association and was largely the basis for the Planning Department recommendation to the Land Use & Development Committee.  After extended discussion at its meeting on Thurs, Jan 28th, the Committee was unable to formulate a recommendation to the City Commission.  

This matter will be discussed at our meeting on Mon, Feb 1st and will likely require additional community discussion and Development Committee action before resolution at the City Commission level.

The following material includes (1) the recommendation of the Administration; (2) the policy recommendation of the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association (Sep 26, 2009), and the proposed draft ordinance.
