Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are technically allowed but heavily constrained: whole‑home STRs are prohibited in residential districts, limiting most neighborhoods to owner‑present homestays via special exception; viable whole‑home STRs are limited to agricultural and business zones, with special exceptions often required in B‑2. The process adds complexity (zoning verification, public hearings, multiple permits/licenses), increasing compliance risk and reducing investor flexibility.
