The Summit County Courthouse
In May, the Summit Board of County Commissioners approved a nine-month moratorium that halted short-term rental licenses in neighborhood zones, which is set to expire in February 2023.
Shortly after, the county announced that it would use that time to establish a short-term rental regulation system. They wanted to find a community-based solution, so the county created a timeline of meetings, forums and hearings throughout the summer and fall.
Now five months and many meetings later, the county is one step closer. The commissioners and the planning department agreed that caps will most likely be a part of short-term rental regulations, according to discussion from the commissioners’ work session on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
Though nothing is official yet, the conversation on Tuesday indicated that caps will be used, said Summit Planning Department Senior Planner, Jessica Potter.
The decision was agreed upon after commissioners reviewed suggestions made by planning commissions from each of the four Summit County basins. The Ten Mile, Snake River, Upper Blue and Lower Blue basins had planning commissions that looked at public input, commissioner goals and data from the county’s short-term rental questionnaire.
