Challenging to Investors
STRs are explicitly allowed citywide in residential zones (with a Minor Conditional Use Permit), but permitted uses are limited (agricultural/commercial zones prohibited), individual room rentals are barred, max 30‑day stays, and a three‑year license with renewal, TOT compliance, and safety/documentation are required; enforcement is active with escalating penalties, creating a moderate-to-high compliance burden that reduces investor friendliness.
