The city may designate any business which provides transient lodging within the city as a "transient lodging rental business". Any operator of a business designated by the city as a transient lodging rental business may elect to designate specific spaces, rooms or accommodations within the operator's business for use other than and not including rental of transient lodging. Any such designation by the operator must be made in writing and submitted to the city clerk and must be supported by such evidence and/or supporting documentation as is requested by the city. Space rental reports shall relate only to those spaces, rooms or accommodations used for the rental of transient lodging and shall not include information pertaining to spaces, rooms or accommodations designated by the operator for use other than and not including rental of transient lodging, unless the city redesignates the space, room or accommodation as part of the operator's transient lodging rental business in the manner provided in section 5-4-4 of this chapter. The city clerk will examine the operator's designation of transient lodging rentals, together with all evidence and/or supporting documentation submitted in support therewith, and will either approve or disapprove the operator's designation based on whether, in the city clerk's discretion, it complies with the requirements of this section.
