Challenging to Investors
STRs are allowed citywide with straightforward licensing and no caps, but they must be operated as an accessory use to the owner’s primary residence (no non‑owner‑investor operation), plus moderate permitting costs ($180 + tax license), safety equipment mandates, occupancy limits, event bans, and escalating penalties for violations. This combination preserves legality yet imposes material operational constraints and restricts investment pathways, keeping investor risk elevated.
