Prior to developing a full draft of the ordinance, <br /> Staff had recommended a public hearing be held at the City Council level to obtain residents' input on <br /> any possible changes. <br /> Staff has identified 16 different property owners that advertise their properties on vacation rental sites. A <br /> postcard was sent to those residents asking for public comments,with five letters being received.
