AB 13-181Council Discussion Regarding Short Term Rentals and Conditional Use Permits This item was tabled on the September 12, 2013 regular City Council meeting. Mayor Bailey requested Council discuss what constituted a "lodge" as referenced in the McCall City Code 3.3.02. Mayor Bailey asked for a status update regarding the requirements for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and short term rentals referred to as a "lodge". Staff met and determined that The Conifer Lodge was a large vacation rental, but not unlike numerous other vacation rentals found throughout the City and Impact Area. The Conifer Lodge was not built to any commercial standards. There were no zoning or building codes that regulated the number of people who occupied a dwelling. Staff concluded that The Conifer Lodge was not a "lodge" as the type that is grouped with social hall and club within the land use table 3.3.02 which would require a CUP. Staff discussed the idea of creating a standard for the number of occupants but ran into a number of issues such as violations of the Fair Housing Act, family reunions, weddings, and enforcement. Staffs opinion was that the property did not need a CUP. Council discussed whether a CUP would be required. They also discussed ways to regulate the number of guests allowed. Bi11 Nichols, City Attorney, cautioned placing restrictions on rentals due to a possible violation of the Fair Housing Act. Council discussed regulating parking, the McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 4 of 6 October 10, 2013 number of allowed vehicles, or regulate through the issue of health and safety.

Mayor Bailey stated that the dock was not on the property Mile High Marina leased from the City, contrary to a memo from former City Manager, Lindley Kirkpatrick. Mayor Bailey stated it was on the submerged land leased with the State of Idaho. Mayor Bailey asked if it was legal for the dock to be located where it is. He also asked if there was an easement and who granted the easement. Bill Nichols, City Attorney, stated he was not aware of any easement documentation. He also stated that he was given no direction by the previous City Manager. Dennis Coyle, Parks and Recreation Director, suggested postponing any decisions on the Tomlinson Dock until Mile High Marina's lease was up in 3 years.
