Title
Proposed Amendment to short-term rental regulations, UDO Section 6.505
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant currently owns rental property in Lee's Summit and desires to make one of her holdings (328 SE Green St) a short-term rental property. A "short term rental" is a use permitted by right but with conditions in certain residential zoning districts plus the CBD (Central Business District). The subject property is zoned CBD. One of the conditions of approval is that "[t]he owner or a local representative must occupy a dwelling unit on the same parcel or an adjacent parcel (UDO Section 6.505.B)." The applicant is a resident of Lee's Summit, but neither the applicant/owner nor a representative reside on the same property as, or adjacent to, the prospective short term rental property. The applicant proposes to amend condition "B" under UDO Section 6.505 to simply require that the owner or local representative reside within Lee's Summit city limits. Save for the requested amendment to condition "B", all other current use conditions to allow a short term rental at this location can be met by the applicant.
Background:
March 6, 2018 - UDO Amendment #64 (Appl. #PL2017-260) creating a definition and establishing regulations for short term rentals was adopted by City Council by Ordinance No. 8352.
