The Town Council voted on Monday, August 10, 2020 to refer to the Planning Board a proposed amendment to a 2019 Comprehensive Plan Recommendation regarding short-term rentals. 

The proposal to amend recommendation No. 86 of the Comprehensive Plan emerged during a special Town Council meeting on July 20, in which companion amendments to the zoning ordinance related to short-term rentals were discussed. During the July 20 meeting the Town Council voted to forward the proposed zoning-ordinance amendments to the Planning Board for their review. The memo to the Planning Board can be found here.

Both proposed amendments indicate a shift towards limiting short-term rentals to primary residents.
