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 SEPTEMBER 11, 2024:
Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance sec. 3-3(29)(e), short-term rental applications with a pending public hearing date as of June 30, 2024, convert to zoning Administrator Permits (ZAPs) if the requirements in Zoning Ordinance sec. 3-3(29)(a) are satisfied. This application was deferred by City Council at the June 12th meeting and satisfies the requirements set forth in Zoning Ordinance sec. 3-3(29)(a). As such, it has been converted to a ZAP and no further Council action is required. This application will be processed administratively by zoning staff.

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.

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...
