(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.
(Ord. 2020-5, passed 8-3-2020; Am. Ord. 2021-1, passed 2-1-2021) Penalty, see § 110.99
(A) Whoever violates any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not more than $500.
(B) Any person who operates a short-term rental shall be issued a citation by an enforcement officer designated by the city and ordered to cease operations. Violation of § 110.10 (including advertising for short-term rental without a license) carries a penalty of not less than $150 for first offense and $400 per day for each day of violation thereafter. Each day of such violation(s) shall constitute a separate offense.
In addition to the penalties provided herein, the city is authorized to pursue remedial civil actions for violations of § 110.10 by civil complaint or petition for injunctive relief, declaration of rights or other appropriate proceedings filed in the Oldham County, Kentucky Circuit Court.
