Some of the proposed tweaks to the municipal code include:

  • Banning the use of accessory dwelling units as short-term rentals
  • Requiring homes used as short-term rentals to display signs identifying itself as one and include contact information of the host
  • Restricting the maximum number of occupants of a short-term rental to 10 people
  • Prohibiting visitors or guests to a short-term rental

Previous changes to the code include an ordinance requiring short-term rentals to follow a "Good Neighbor Policy" and an ordinance that tweaked the fines for rentals used to host "loud disorderly parties," according to city officials.
