You might say the Breckenridge town council is all talk and no action with regard to short term rentals other than the fact they capped the number of short term rentals even with overwhelming opposition from the public they serve.
Anyway, they are at it again:
In May the council talked about "exempt" properties.\ in the total count of short-term rentals, and on Tuesday, council members further discussed how to define resort-like units in town.
“Exempt” properties typically operate more like a hotel rather than an Airbnb or VRBO unit, such as having 24-hour security or a front desk. Council members at the last meeting agreed that finding a new word for these resort-like properties and exact qualifications would be more appropriate moving forward.
Can you believe they are spending time trying to figure out a new word for these properties! What is the point? They are exempt from the cap, why not just call them "exempt?"
“It was felt that these larger resort properties could internally resolve guest and facility issues on site without involving town resources, such as the short-term rental hotline or calling the Breckenridge Police Department for non-emergency issues,” Sarah Crump, a planner for the town, said.
