VACATION RENTALS
The City discourages 'non-hosted' (full-time) vacation rentals, and requires a Conditional Use Permit for any new non-hosted, full-time vacation rentals. 

We allow 'hosted rentals' (where the resident is present/residing at the home while a room or guest houst is being rented), but to require a permit for such rentals, and the rental must meet certain standards.  See below for more information:
