Generally Investor friendly
Ongoing STRs are allowed by right in high‑density zones (R‑4+) and permitted elsewhere via CUP, with clear steps to license and tax. R‑1 is restricted to capped special events and lower‑density zones add CUP burdens, but the multi‑step process and monthly reporting are manageable for investors.
