The town of Dillon was home to a divided exchange regarding regulations on short-term rentals during Summit County government’s last public forum held Wednesday, July 27.
The county implemented the open houses to collect public input on short-term rentals’ impact on the community so that officials could use the input to create legislation they hope to enact. They hope to take action on the issue before the end of the moratorium on issuing rental licenses for neighborhood zones, which expires in February.
Officials from the county’s planning department attended the open house. They provided posters with short-term rental maps of each basin in Summit County, along with graphics that explained proposed short-term rental rules.
The mood of the open house was divided. Many attended to protest the short-term rental regulations, but some were there to support efforts to make workforce housing more available.
At the front of the room, an interactive poster provided stars that attendees could use to express approval of a proposed rule, but one attendee used a pen to draw frowny faces to express frustration.
