i business tax receipt) a local vacation rental license requirement could be established. Such a license could involve a simple submittal and review process to ensure that applicants read and acknowledge local requirements, and provide up-to-date local manager contact information. That information could be use by staff and shared with property owners associations to facilitate timely contact in the event that compliance or unit management problems arise. In staff's opinion, it is likely that requirements for local licensing and local management contact information will be evaluated in the future by the Short Term Vacation Rental Advisory Committee. CONCLUSION The proposed vacation rental parking regulations ("Ordinance 1"), if adopted, will reasonably accommodate and limit the number of automobiles parked outside of carports and garages at vacation rentals. In addition, the proposed regulations appropriately limit parking locations at vacation rentals to carports, garages, and driveways. The proposed regulations also allow for properly screened and located day-time excess parking spaces which can be accommodated on larger sites. In staff's opinion, the proposed ordinance adequately addresses the issue of parking at vacation rentals. As described above, there are several vacation .rental issues other than parking that are being addressed separately from consideration of the proposed parking regulations. The issue of renting-out a residence for special events such as a wedding or reunion is being addressed via consideration of a proposed ordinance that will prohibit that activity ("Ordinance 2"). Other issues, such as fire safety, citation powers and fines, and local license and rental management contact information will likely be addressed via the recently established Short Term Vacation Rental Advisory Committee. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed ordinance ("Ordinance I") establishing vacation rental parking regulations. ATTACHMENTS I 1.
