STRs are explicitly allowed, but constrained to limited zoning pathways (B&B in specified residential zones with 65% open space; vacation rentals only in the commercial zone) and require multiple plans, permits, and performance standards. The absence of a simple citywide STR license and reliance on county codes increases complexity and compliance costs, lowering investor-friendly ease while keeping operations legal.
