July is an important month for District C as I continue moving forward with making changes to the citys Short-Term Rental (STR) program. My office has received numerous phone calls and emails from you about the two STR motions approved by the Council back in May.
In this newsletter, Im addressing some of your questions by clarifying the three categories of STR licenses issued by the city. |
