Geographic Clarification

The majority of the detailed content you've provided relates to Carbondale, Colorado, not Carbondale, Illinois. The first URL (www.carbondalegov.org/i_want_to/apply_for/short_term_rental_license.php) is clearly for Carbondale, CO, as evidenced by the address "511 Colorado Ave | Carbondale, CO 81623" and the reference to "Town of Carbondale, CO."

The actual content I can analyze for Carbondale, Illinois is limited to:

1. A Housing Rights Ordinance document (which covers general rental housing regulations but doesn't specifically address short-term rentals)
2. A fire safety announcement (general safety information)
3. General Illinois state-level STR laws (but not Carbondale-specific)
