Generally Investor friendly
STRs are now explicitly permitted with a clear, online permitting process and a reasonable $250 annual fee and $200 penalty—moderate but manageable. No caps or severe zoning limits are indicated, and the city offers a grace period and proactive tone, though ongoing zoning/safety compliance and annual renewals add some burden.
