At Tuesday’s marathon City Planning Commission meeting, the commissioners agreed that there had not been enough time for the public, or for themselves, to fully digest and analyze the 155 page staff report. They acted to defer their vote, and to have a second CPC meeting dedicated to short-term rentals.
As the City Planning Commission and City Council contemplate major changes to the existing regulations, the Short-Term Rental Committee (of which VCPORA is a founding member) released a booklet in response to the CPC’s 2018 STR Study.
