December 1, 2016 NOTICE OF PUBLIC INPUT The Ogden City Council will consider a request to amend the Ogden City code to allow short-term residential vacation rentals, or the renting of a residential dwelling for a period of less than 30 days to a person or group whose primary residence is at another location and who provide compensation for the rental. The City Council will consider two options: Option 1: Allow short-term residential vacation rentals in multi-family zones as either owner- occupied rentals or non-owner occupied rentals if all permits and requirements are met and in limited cases in single-family zones where a unit reduction incentive is used. Option 2: Allow short-term residential vacation rentals in multi-family zones as owner-occupied or non-owner occupied rentals if all permits and requirements are met and allow short-term residential vacation rentals in single-family zones if they are owner-occupied rentals. The proposed ordinance under both options addresses permitting and business licensing standards, proximity restrictions for non-owner occupied vacation rentals, occupancy limits, appearance and property maintenance standards, off-street parking requirements, management standards, and advertising standards. The Planning Commission recommended approval of an ordinance similar to Option 1 that would allow short-term residential vacation rentals in multi-family zones and in single-family zones in limited cases with a unit reduction incentive. At the meeting, the Council can adopt either Option 1 or Option 2, deny the proposal, or take no action and refer the proposal for further study. The City Council will accept public input at the regular City Council meeting to be held Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, located on the third floor of the Municipal Building at 2549 Washington Boulevard, Ogden, Utah.
