Generally Investor friendly
Emporia explicitly allows STRs citywide in residential zones with clear registration and annual licensing, no caps, and a supportive tone. The two‑tier model adds moderate steps for non‑owner‑occupied STRs (CUP plus bed‑and‑breakfast standards) and mandates $1M/$3M insurance, raising cost/complexity but still manageable for investors.
