[Massplanners] Short term Rental Zoning Bylaw

[Burney, Adam]

Hi Kerrie,

The easiest way would be to add a definition for Short Term Rental that mirrors Chapter 64G Section 1 and prohibit it explicitly in all zoning districts  in your Table of Uses.

The definition in Section 1 reads

'Short-term rental'', an owner-occupied, tenant-occupied or non-owner occupied property including, but not limited to, an apartment, house, cottage, condominium or a furnished accommodation that is not a hotel, motel, lodging house or bed and breakfast establishment, where: (i) at least 1 room or unit is rented to an occupant or sub-occupant; and (ii) all accommodations are reserved in advance; provided, however, that a private owner-occupied property shall be considered a single unit if leased or rented as such.


Respectfully,
Adam

Does anyone have a bylaw prohibiting short term rentals they can share?  Thank you in advance.
