Title
Use Permit Application by FUM Properties, LLC to Permit a Short-Term Rental (STR) at 136 S Second St [LRSN: 13004183]
Purpose
UPDATED BACKGROUND STATEMENT FOR JUNE 12, 2024:
This item was deferred at the August 9, 2023, the November 8, 2023, and the February 28, 2024 City Council meetings.
The proposed short-term rental is located in the proposed Buckroe 2 Zone. The proposed zoning map amendments and zoning text amendments recommend a maximum of sixteen (16) STRs in the Buckroe 2 Zone. Currently, the Buckroe 2 Zone features five (5) permitted STRs. The proposed STR would not exceed the maximum number of STRs permitted in the Buckroe 2 Zone as proposed in the set of zoning map amendments and zoning text amendments. However, the proposed STR is within 500 feet of a permitted STR and would therefore not be compliant with the 500-foot buffer requirement proposed in the zoning text amendments. Additionally, the Use Permit application is eligible to convert to a Zoning Administrator Permit (ZAP) application on the day the proposed ordinance amendments go into effect.
UPDATED BACKGROUND STATEMENT FOR FEBRUARY 28, 2024:
This item was deferred at the August 9, 2023 and November 8, 2023 City Council meetings.
Staff is recommending deferral of all short-term rental use permit applications on this agenda. Staff continues to work with the guidance of City Council to establish a consistent and effective land use policy for short-term rentals with goals including the protection of the community’s neighborhoods and supporting opportunities for stays for visitors of Hampton.
