The purpose of this chapter is to encourage appropriate and orderly physical development without diminishing the desirability of the town’s living and recreating space, considering such standards as open space, desired levels of population density, adequate community facilities and to promote in other ways the public’s general health, safety, convenience and welfare. It is also the intent of this chapter to implement the provisions of the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and any amendments thereto. The city finds that vacation rental occupancy of dwelling units constitutes a visitor oriented commercial use in the city’s residential areas. In order to maintain the residential character and livability of its neighborhoods and to prevent the adverse effects of the vacation rental occupancy of dwelling units on residential neighborhoods, it is necessary to limit and regulate the vacation rental occupancy of dwelling units.
