Generally Investor friendly
STRs are allowed as permitted uses in designated districts with a clear, simple two‑year licensing regime, low fees ($100 initial, $75 renewal), and a property‑specific occupancy standard. The city removed the prior neighbor‑approval affidavit in 2023, signaling a supportive stance, while still maintaining inspection and enforcement powers—moderate but manageable barriers.
