5. Communications Received

6. New Business/Public Hearings
Case No. P19019 — Zoning Code Text Amendment Pertaining to Short Term Rentals.
Request filed by city staff to amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, To establish short term rental
of residence and a short term rental of a lodging room as a permitted use ( Rather than a Special
Exception Use) in the residential and industrial zoning districts.
Mr. Barron described the proposed amendment stating that City staff is requesting to amend the
text of Chapter 35, zoning to establish short term rental of a residence and short term rental of a
lodging room as a permitted use, rather than a Special Exception Use, in the residential and
industrial zoning districts, which would result in an elimination of the special exception permit
process for short term rental uses. Mr. Barron explained that to date, 9 total Special Exception
Permit requests have been processed and 8 have been approved by the City Council. Several of
the cases had a high level of concern from neighboring residents, however, a large number of
those concerns were items already addressed within the Specific Use Standards in place for the
use. He stated that the Special Exception Use Permit process, which is effective in identifying
and addressing potential negative impacts, is proving to be largely ineffective as the impacts are
largely addressed through the specific use standards. When reviewing individual properties for a
short term residential use, planning division staff is finding it difficult to identify negative
externalities that have a higher impact on surrounding properties as compared to other permitted
uses within residential districts. For example, daycare homes for up to ten children are a
permitted use of single family districts, and would be expected to have a higher level of impact on
the residential area than a short term rental use. He stated that it has been staffs observation
that, while there is a general high level of concern brought forward by surrounding property
owners when a short term rental is proposed, the actual impact of such a use is low. Mr. Barron
explained that the specific use standards already established for short term rental uses would
remain in place, although removal of standard #1, which specifically refers to the special
exception process, should be included in the proposal as it would become an irrelevant section of
the zoning code.
Carla Kessell, 921 Fairmount Blvd, spoke in favor of the text amendment. She stated that she has
family that utilizes short term rentals in cities around Jefferson City, because there are so few
here, due to all the hoops that have to be jumped through. She has a couple of rentals that she
would like to turn into short term rentals, but does not wish to go through the lengthy process.
She stated that she does not believe that having a short term rental hurts the value of a
neighborhood at all, if anything it improves it. She stated that people who have short term rentals
are wanting to keep them clean and updated to attract renters.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
Mr. Barron gave the staff report and staff recommendation.
Ms. Cotten moved and Mr. Dutoi seconded to approve the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, to establish
short term rental of residence and a short term rental of a lodging room as a permitted use in the
residential and industrial zoning districts, with the elimination of the specific use standard #1 in
the short term rental specific use standards. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotton, Dutoi, Lester, Mahoney, Markus, Yarnell, Vaughan, and Vogt.
7. Other Business
A. Informational presentation of the Historic Preservation Plan
Ms. Nanoski gave a presentation of the Historic Preservation Plan. She stated that she will be

B. Comprehensive Plan Update

Planning Division Staff Summary - Jefferson City Historic Preservation Plan
Staff Comments:
The Department of Planning and Protective Services sought out to develop a historic preservation plan
for Jefferson City to highlight the community's historical assets and understand how to move forward
with protecting and leveraging those assets. Enhancing historic preservation efforts in Jefferson City can
result in a lot of cultural and economic benefits for the whole community. The Jefferson City Historic
Preservation Plan will provide the community with a focused document, specifically concentrating on
the City's unique issues and opportunities, to guide historic preservation efforts throughout the City.
Goals:
The Jefferson City Historic Preservation Plan contains five goals. These goals illustrate the overall
motivation and direction in which historic preservation efforts should be focused on in the community,
they are as follows:
1. Reinforce the role of Jefferson City's historic core as central to the City's identity and long-
term economic development strategy — emphasize quality of place.
2. Activate and revitalize Jefferson City's historic commercial centers and residential
neighborhoods as distinctive places for living and investing.
3. Connect the City's historic core to its outlying suburban neighborhoods through
transportation enhancements, parks, open space, trails, bikeways, programing, public
facilities, and other initiatives.
4. Use the City's historic preservation, neighborhood services, and planning programs
strategically to stimulate private investment in the revitalization of historic areas.
5. Actively engage residents and visitors with information, interpretation, and programming
that reinforces community identity and tells the City's stories.
Strategy Themes:
Strategy Themes were curated to organize and highlight the various benefits of the recommendations
listed in the Jefferson City Historic Preservation Plan. Naturally, historic preservation can be
accomplished by various stakeholders and members of the public, so organizing the recommendations
in this fashion reinforces the multiple directions in which historic preservation can be approached. To
review the specific recommended strategies please see the full plan (located on the City's website) or
the implementation matrix (Appendix A).
Jefferson City's Historic Preservation Program: coordinating historic preservation tools and
resources with revitalization and enhancement strategies.
Planning and Development: aligning historic preservation strategies with Jefferson City's
planning programs and processes.
Historic Commercial Centers: focusing public and private sector strategies on the revitalization
and enhancement of the City's historic commercial centers.
Strengthening Historic Neighborhoods: strengthening historic neighborhoods as distinctively
attractive places for home ownership and investment.
Welcoming Visitors and Storytelling: using heritage tourism to welcome and attract visitors and
residents. Strategically using tourism and storytelling can also enhance Jefferson City's quality of
place through economic development and revitalization.
Conclusion:
The Jefferson City Historic Preservation Plan allows the Historic Preservation Commission, City Council,
City staff, stakeholders, and the public to recognize and prioritize historic preservation efforts.

Beth & Eric,
Im contacting you all to get comments from the Jefferson City Area Board of Realtors included in packets for the
upcoming Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on November 14th regarding the Historic Preservation Plan.
I have attached our comments to this email.
If you have any questions please let me know and thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
With Regards,
Brian Bernskoetter
R.J. Scherr & Associates

To Whom it May Concern:
The Jefferson City Area Board of Realtors® greatly appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments
regarding the draft Historic Preservation Plan. Our members are very interested in any policy matters put forward by
the City of Jefferson that affect property rights and economic development. Our intention in providing these comments
is to offer our perspective which we hope balances the interests of preservation with the sacred and fundamental
property rights of individuals. In our view, if property rights are not protected than the opportunity for property owners
and landowners to seek the maximum gain from their time and investments is diminished and there in the incentive to
own some older homes and buildings in Jefferson City.
We humbly submit the following remarks regarding the draft Historic Preservation Plan for consideration and inclusion
in the plan
1) It would seem that this plan anticipates giving the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) a great deal of
new/expanded authority. This increased authority would seem to require a great deal of expertise on the part
of the commission members to be wielded appropriately. It would be our recommendation that the make up of
the HPC be given some consideration with more stringent parameters for inclusion on HPC than a
"demonstrated interest" (JCMO Ordinance 7-52)
a. It would be our recommendation that slots be assigned certain sectors of interest to ensure a good cross
section of representation is present on the HPC
2) There are lots of recommendations for HPC to have new roles in the community outside of what is currently
allowed for in ordinance. It would be our recommendation that the drafters of the plan review the
recommended new roles with the discernment towards
a. What should the role of a commissioner on HPC be and
b. What should the role of a public interest group like Historic City of Jefferson (HCJ) be
i. It would be our hope that HPC responds to the needs of the community and it could be up to
groups like HCJ to generate the concerns that HPC responds to
c. Additionally, it's inappropriate for the plan to specifically reference groups outside the direct control of
the City of Jefferson. It's not likely but it is entirely possible that groups outside the control of the City of
Jefferson could alter their mission/purpose yet still remain ensconced in the document as if their
mission/purpose had never changed.
3) JCABOR and its members dealt with the demolition ordinance for many years before coming to a compromise
last year. It is our sincere hope that issue be left alone for the foreseeable future and be removed from the draft
plan.
4) Before adopting any more or any stricter standards for "overlay districts" it would be our hope let the current
overlay district on Capitol Avenue work in light of the fact that it's one of the few areas of the city that has
overlay requirements and it was one of the area's most extensively damaged by the tornado thus necessitating
rebuilding or demolition for many of those structures. It could serve as an important lesson in how these
overlay districts do and don't work before we implement them in other parts of the city.
5) The draft plan suggests yearly inspections of rentals and rental fees. Our members stand in firm opposition to
any such proposals and would hope those recommendations are removed from the draft plan.
With Regards,
Brian Bernskoetter
Government Affairs Director for the Jefferson City Area Board of Realtors®
