Those seven property owners are among the 12 <br /> vacation rental owners identified by Staff after searching through the various vacation rental websites. <br /> Most of the comments received respected the need for regulation, with the owners indicating that they are <br /> more protective with their own home and property than the City would be, but they did not want overly <br /> restrictive regulations. They also did not support a total ban on vacation rentals. <br /> Staff has prepared a basic draft ordinance. There was some discussion at the workshop about removing <br /> certain criteria included in the draft ordinance. Barnhart noted the draft ordinance has not been modified <br /> and that he would like to hear some more input from the Planning Commission tonight. At the workshop <br /> Barnhart stated he heard from the Planning Commission that there should be some regulation, such as a <br /> license, but not a prohibition. The draft resolution includes 15 criteria and Staff report includes an <br /> analysis of that criteria. <br /> Barnhart noted language that appears elsewhere in the Code is in italics and can be removed if the <br /> Planning Commission feels it is redundant. <br /> Barnhart stated he would like to get some more feedback from the Planning Commission tonight and then <br /> move it forward to the City Council. <br /> Lemke asked if he received any rental agreements. <br /> Page 1 of 8 <br />
