South Lake Tahoe Approves New Rules for Vacation Home Rentals (abstract)

"By a 4-0 vote, the South Lake Tahoe City Council approved new regulations governing vacation home rentals during another marathon session Tuesday.

The most recent vacation ordinance drew a lot of debate over the past year as the city attempted to address what it called a balancing act for residents and rental applicants alike.

City Manager Nancy Kerry said the new ordinance will provide a more streamlined process for vacation home rental applications.

Councilman Tom Davis recused himself because of his stake in vacation rental ownership.

Vacation rentals have been controversial topic in South Lake Tahoe for years, sparking a number of debates between long-term residents and real estate and tourist agencies about the impacts of vacation rentals on the community.

South Lake Tahoe has 1,735 vacation rentals inside the city limits... .

The proposed guidelines for new vacation rentals include notifying residents within 300 feet of a property, inspection by the city and a public hearing before the zoning administrator, if someone files a written protest within three days of notification. Kerry called the public hearing a fair addition to the permitting process."
