During their first reading of an ordinance to limit the number of short-term rental licenses in Summit County’s unincorporated areas, the Summit Board of County Commissioners voted to replace a cap on nightly stays with a yearly limit on individual bookings by property owners.
It marks a reversal from the board’s previous decision to include and enforce night limits, though the booking cap — set at 26 — is intended to achieve the same goal of reducing complaints from short-term rental neighbors. Regulations will affect only properties that rent for less than 30 days at a time.
That change is set to be included in the ordinance set before the commissioners on Feb. 15, when they will take a final vote on implementing the policy.
The policy debate and change by commissioners came without a public hearing — which is standard for first readings per county guidelines but which frustrated several attendees, some of whom stood out of their seats to interject as commissioners were speaking.
