C. Public Hearing on proposed Amendments to Ivins City Code/Zoning Ordinance, Title 16 Chapter 12 Section 123 (Short Term Leases of Residential Properties) and Title 16 Chapter 9 (Development Agreements). David Lynn/VE Mgmt & Investment Co LC, Applicant.

David Lynn Zoning Ord Amend App

2015-04 Short Term Rentals and Development Agreements

16.33.101 Table of Uses

Kevin Rudd stated this is a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and an application is being brought forward by a property owner. The change being proposed is to develop a short term rentals project on their property similar to what Santa Clara now allows. Our Zoning Ordinance, Section 123, limits short term rentals to a legal Bed and Breakfast or if it is part of a mixed use plan for commercial use.  The City of St. George also allows for short term rentals.  Some conditions that would be required: must be managed by a property management company that is in Washington County; collect a transient room tax and sales tax; and obtain a business license.  A section of the proposed Ordinance was inadvertently deleted which stated the short term rentals will only be allowed in new developments.  This omission will be corrected for the next Planning Commission Meeting. Vice-Chair Murphy opened the public hearing. Richard Bryant stated he lives in a HOA and wanted to know if it negates HOA authority.  Dale Coulam stated no, it only applies to new developments depending on zoning.  Kevin Rudd agreed, stating the way it is written, a new development may come in and request a short term lease on the property, even in areas in Kayenta where Mr. Bryant resides. Phillip Gubler, represents the applicant and is also a resident of Ivins. He believes people would stay local in a short term rental due to the races around the county that come through Ivins City and bring along with it the revenue. Vice-Chair Murphy closed the public hearing.
D. Discuss and consider recommendation on proposed Amendments to Ivins City Code/Zoning Ordinance, Title 16 Chapter 12 Section 123 (Short Term Leases of Residential Properties) and Title 16 Chapter 9 (Development Agreements). David Lynn/VE Mgmt & Investment Co LC, Applicant.
