(A) The City Council finds that the size of many homes and lots being used for short-term rental in Pewee Valley creates an unwanted and inappropriate opportunity for the short-term rentals to become large event spaces.
(B) The City Council hereby finds that the impact of traffic, noise and transient persons from these potentially large events is inappropriate for the city and cannot be mitigated.
(C) Therefore, no person, firm or corporation shall own or operate a short-term rental on any premises (whether it is the personal residence of the owner or not), within the city, unless the property is zoned C-2, C-3, or C-4, which allows hotels and motels as a Permitted Use.
