Generally Investor friendly
Allowed under lodging categories (B&B, hotel/motel, rooming house), but the lack of a standalone STR permit means residential B&B requires a Special Exception with caps (max 6 rooms, 30-day stay) and typical fees/inspections; hotel/motel use is permitted in commercial/mixed‑use districts with standard development rules, making compliance manageable for investors.
