Challenging to Investors
STRs are legal only via Specific Use Permit (no by‑right operation), requiring a case‑by‑case Planning & Zoning hearing and City Council approval with possible operating conditions, plus code/life‑safety inspections and state/local hotel occupancy tax compliance—creating notable permitting complexity, public‑hearing risk, and compliance burden that deters investment.
