Item No. 5.2.
Short-Term Rental Ordinance Policy

Recommendation(s): Staff recommend Council receive the presentation and provide direction
regarding the specific elements to include in a prospective short-term rental ordinance.
Summary: Staff presented a draft short-term rental ordinance to Council during the Workshop
portion of the City Council meeting on April 23, 2020. The draft ordinance proposed the regulation of
short term rental units (STRs) and described how the City would permit and enforce STRs in College
Station. The ordinance included elements to permit owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied STRs,
mandated life safety inspections prior to permit issuance, instituted guest information brochures for
STR operations, required STR operators to collect and remit applicable hotel occupancy tax, and
detailed a denial or revocation process for violations.
At that meeting, staff received additional direction from Council to further examine the limits of non-
owner-occupied STRs, address the presence of bed and breakfast facilities, and consider life safety
inspections at more frequent intervals.
On May 28, 2020, staff presented a revised ordinance which defined STRs into 3 categories and
placed restrictions in some zoning districts based on owner-occupancy. The ordinance also provided
clarity on bed and breakfast facilities and established more regular life safety inspections.
Following discussion, Council requested that staff return with a Workshop presentation to review the
elements of a prospective ordinance and work toward the development of a final draft for
consideration.
