Unlike residential properties, the city would not require owners to live in short-term rentals in commercial zones.
A “fairly significant” difference from residential rules is commercial properties may allow short-term rentals at multi-family dwellings such as apartments or a fourplex, Stowell said. The intent was to reserve those types of rentals in residential areas for long-term rentals.
Short-term residential renters may not sublease and as proposed the same restriction would apply to commercial properties.
