To consider a proposed ordinance to amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Caledonia. The principal provisions of the proposed amending ordinance can be summarized as follows:

1. Regulation of Short-Term Rentals. The proposed ordinance would add a new Section 3.44 to the Zoning Ordinance to allow short-term rentals within the Village, subject to compliance with the requirements in the new Section 3.44. The proposed requirements for short-term rentals would include compliance with permitted configurations of short-term rentals, the maximum number of short-term rental units per lot or parcel, parking, trash, other use restrictions, the maximum occupancy for a short-term rental, and compliance with applicable building codes, maintenance standards, and other Village ordinances. The new Section 3.44 would also provide an application, review and approval process for short-term rentals, require an annual zoning compliance permit to operate a short-term rental within the Village, and address violations regarding short-term rentals and the revocation procedure for a zoning compliance permit for a short-term rental.

2. Definitions. The proposed ordinance would amend the definitions in the Zoning Ordinance to add a new definition for a short-term rental. Short-term rental would mean a dwelling unit that is rented or is advertised to be rented for a period of less than thirty-one (31) consecutive days. It would also amend the definition of a bed and breakfast establishment to clarify that a bed and breakfast establishment does not include a short-term rental.

3. Districts. The ordinance would amend the AG Agricultural-Residential District, the R-1 Low Density Single Family, District, the R-2 Medium Density Single Family District, the R-3 Medium Density Multiple Family District, and the R-4 High Density Multiple Family District to permit short-term rentals in compliance with the new Section 3.44.

The proposed amending ordinance is on file at the Village Hall and may be reviewed, or a copy obtained, during Village office hours.
