Short-Term Rental Ordinance

North Beach STR committee member supports the draft ordinance, praises its parking and placard requirements, but would prefer banning STRs in residential zoning entirely.

Lives next to an STR and sees front yards turned into parking lots on Ocean Drive; supports the committee's draft.

District 2 resident behind Ocean Drive reports weekend party houses sleeping up to 33 people, an unlicensed operator, and concerns about an investor buying up homes.

Says an operator bought 41 houses; her cul-de-sac block is permitted for 66 weekend guests and she's filed 39 complaints. Urges the commission to scrutinize any waiver requests.

Former commissioner from District 2 predicted the island carve-out would push problems inland; wants enforceable consequences, noise monitoring, and parking standards rather than small fines.

Says one or two operators are overrunning the city; his son calls police on a neighboring STR almost every weekend with no remedy.

District 2 resident says even permit requirements can't be enforced, calls the situation a scam, and argues the real solution will be political, not regulatory.
