Mr. Conway also noted that it would be unlikely for a <br />rental owner to file a Bert Harris claim. <br />Mr. Conway read into the record remarks from homeowners <br />Walter H. Fortnan, M.D., Thomas P. Gillman, DDS, and Dr. <br />Leigh Hoppe, M.D. who have experienced the short term renter <br />and noise issues, and he played a short audio clip of music <br />blaring from a nearby vacation rental at 9:21 a.m. on a Sunday <br />morning. He urged the Board to pass regulations that would <br />restore peace, tranquility, and harmony to residential <br />neighborhoods, through adoption of an occupancy cap of ten <br />persons, no grandfather clause, and a prohibition on outdoor <br />speakers. Mr. Conway also suggested that the Board consider, <br />in the future, making a tangible personal property tax <br />certificate part of the Local license requirement. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher to direct the <br />County Attorney's office to meet with the Sheriff's Department <br />about how best to enforce the current noise violation standards <br />as written in Chapter 974 of County Code, and report back to <br />the Board. Motion DIED for lack of a second. <br />Additional discussion ensued on what standards might be added <br />to the proposed Ordinance to deal with noise violations at the <br />rentals. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner 'Davis, the Board unanimously approved to add <br />to the proposed Ordinance, language banning the amplification <br />of audio or visual sound devices (outdoors or directed outdoors) <br />in rental units; and for staff to return with an update on the <br />noise regulations governing rentals. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to adopt Ordinance 2016- <br />006, concerning amendments to its Land Development <br />Regulations (LDRS); establishing requirements for a County <br />Vacation Rental License and other Vacation Rental Regulations <br />by creating Zoning Code Section 911.15(9); and providing for <br />repeal of conflicting provisions; codification; severability; and <br />effective date, with the following amendments: <br />ESTABLISH an occupancy cap, for units served by public <br />sewer, of two occupants per bedroom, plus two additional <br />persons for a maximum limit of ten people per vacation rental; <br />Board of County Commission Minutes <br />June 21, 2016 Page 8 <br />Attachment 1 <br />P8 <br />
