Steamboat Takes On Vacation Home Rentals, Again
A City Council that just 3 years ago placed a temporary moratorium on vacation home rentals in Steamboat is now poised to actually relax home rental fees and loosen parking regulations for vacation rentals in Steamboat. The City Council says it has no interest in taking up the more contentious issue of whether to allow or disallow rentals. They say they understand the importance of home rentals for the local Steamboat economy. The Council would like to support the nearly 75 vacation rentals by reducing the permit fees from $50 for each bedroom to a flat $50 annual fee. Qualified property managers could also be allocated up to 6 outdoor parking permits. The issue of vacation home rentals continues to be contentious. Many locals opposing the rentals showed up at the Council meeting asking for the City to again consider banning rentals in Steamboat. City staff will draft an ordinance for the Council to consider in the coming weeks.
Avon, Eagle County To Review Medical Marijuana Rules Tuesday
The Eagle County Board of County Commissioners is seeking input on medical marijuana dispensaries at its work session Tuesday, at 1:30 pm. A state law that went into effect allows local municipalities to put additional regulations on the dispensaries. Eagle County currently allows medical marijuana dispensaries in commercial and industrial zoning areas of the county, but does not allow them near schools or residences. Because of county zoning, there are very few locations where a dispensary can be located in the county. The County Commissioners are looking for input for citizens as to whether they should continue the temporary regulations and allow dispensaries in the county, or whether they should be banned completely. The town of Avon has an ordinance on its Council agenda for Tuesday that would ban medical marijuana businesses in Avon. The town has a moratorium on dispensaries that expires this month.
