Presenter(s): Jason Dietz, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman
Time: 20 Min.
05172022 STR_Memo.final.pdf
Lindstrom reviewed the background and the council approval to re-open the short-term rental
regulations. He provided a background and mention of the most recent EPS studies regarding
residential linkage in whole, as a report that is a couple years old. At the time, the finance
department had instated fees for short term rental properties.
Lindstrom stated that an argument of short-term rentals impacts the long-term rental market does
not go very far in our jurisdiction. The argument going forward would be more along the lines of
residential linkage.
Lindstrom summarized commercial linkage, residential inclusionary zoning and residential linkage,
which is a topic that will be re-opened. New legislation is akin to but a separate piece from
commercial linkage.
Denton suggest that we are running into ownership rights, in his opinion, and he is not into forcing
people to follow additional regulation.
The STR piece will come up quickly and may lean on The Authority to weigh-in and/or
make a recommendation.
Conversation ensued among the Authority around the future of commercial linkage placing
more of a responsibility with fees or production of employee housing to help with the strain on
the community, including the large employers in the area and concerns of parking and housing
impacts.
Referencing the documents that were provided, Santucci stated if there is an opportunity for the
Authority to have an ongoing structure to assist the community, then that is what we should be doing
in aligning with the Authority's purpose to help create additional housing for locals.
Dietz weighed in that Council had asked staff to start looking at the fee structure in relation to the
nexus study that came from EPS a couple of years ago. He provided a short summary of the
previous EPS nexus study and conversation ensued with comments from the Authority and
curiosities if the Council agrees with the pathways from the nexus study and determine next steps.
Finance Department leads on STR and Dietz will share information as he knows more about STR
and residential linkage and commercial linkage.
Anderson reminded the group that the fee-in-lieu, which was last updated in 2016/18, also needs
to be revised in relation to commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning and discussion continued.
