Months of discussion and research could soon come to a close as Breckenridge Town Council and staff hammer out the final details of a short-term rental ordinance.
In recent weeks, council members agreed to by land use districts and guidelines instead of drawing new lines to distinguish tourist areas from traditional workforce neighborhoods. This way, it would be easier to tell what properties are in their designated district, they said. In total, there will be four zones: Resort, Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3.
For resort properties, or areas that provide additional amenities and operate more like a hotel rather than an Airbnb or VRBO, council members said that a much higher percentage of licenses is appropriate. On Tuesday, recommendations to staff ranged from 95% to 100%. Zone 2 is a zone where rental saturation is relatively high, but families and residents still live there. The area has a higher density, so its percentage rate is about 50%. For Zone 3, council and staff noted that they wanted to protect the character of these neighborhoods, and council members agreed that its percentage should remain low at 10% to 15%.
