By Kevin Hastings, Vice-Chair, OB Planning Board
Last night, July 23, the Community Planners Committee (CPC) unanimously approved a citizen-led proposal for changes to the short-term vacation rental ordinance.
The CPC consists of the chairs of all 40+ planning groups across the city.
And at least 6 of the community groups have also signed on to the proposal.
This is on the eve of a City Council Community and Neighborhood Services committee meeting (7/25 at 1pm) for a required annual review of the ordinance. Councilmember Jennifer Campbell chairs this committee.
We will be asking them to incorporate these changes.
We aren't asking for the moon here, or to ban STRs, just some common sense changes to at least get what was advertised.
