Regulations for Vacation Rentals ("Ordinance I"); Amending Land Development Regulations Chapters 901 (Definitions), 911 (Zoning), and 912 (Single-Family Development) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 13, 2015. This item was initially considered at a public hearing on September 22, 2015 which was continued to the October 6, 2015 meeting. At the October 6, 2015 meeting the Board continued the public hearing, took additional public input and continued the public hearing to the October 13, 2015 meeting. The staff report prepared for the September 22nd meeting and for the October 61h meeting is provided below and has not been changed since the September 22nd meeting. BACKGROUND At its February 10, 2015 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) heard a presentation from Dr. Miles Conway regarding vacation rentals, including parking conditions at a vacation rental adjacent to his property on south SR A-1-A (see attachment #1). That vacation rental, whose owner is represented by attorney Barry Segal, is the subject of a Code Enforcement Board action which has been appealed to circuit court. After hearing from Dr. Conway, Mr. Segal, and others at the February meeting, the Board voted unanimously to direct staff to draft parking regulations for vacation rentals. Based on that directive, Community Development staff and Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal conducted research and drafted an LDR (land development regulation) amendment ordinance establishing vacation rental parking regulations for the Board's initial review as a departmental discussion item at the May 5, 2015 Board meeting. At its May 5, 2015 meeting, the Board heard from staff and a number of parties. At the end of discussion, the Board voted unanimously to "approve" staff s recommended ordinance and directed staff to initiate the formal LDR amendment process (see attachment #2). For the proposed amendment, that process involves one public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) and one public hearing before the Board. Staff prepared a revised vacation rental parking regulation ordinance ("Ordinance V) for the PZC's consideration, and after input at the PZC hearing, prepared a further revised ordinance for the Board's consideration.
