Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly allowed citywide with a clear, structured online permitting process, but moderate complexity arises from required detailed property and operator disclosures, code acknowledgments, and penalty-of-perjury declarations, indicating manageable but not overly simple compliance. No caps or fees are specified in the summary, but the need to contact the city for fee schedules suggests potential moderate costs. The supportive tone and explicit legality reduce investor risk, making it friendly overall.
