Jackson council to revisit 30% cap on short-term rentals in one project
At a June 15 workshop, the Jackson Town Council will decide whether to back drafting Land Development Regulation changes that would cap short-term rentals at 30% of a new downtown project, a limit the Planning Commission recommended denying.
Jackson’s Town Council is set to decide Monday whether it wants staff to draft an amendment that would cap short-term rental units at no more than 30% of a single project in the downtown Lodging Overlay, a policy staff pitched as a way to push new construction toward more “vibrant and active uses” downtown. The option comes to the council as part of a larger Land Development Regulations discussion in a workshop packet. Town Council Workshop Agenda Packet
Planning commissioners recommended denial of the 30% cap, citing uncertainty about unintended consequences and whether it would actually increase downtown vibrancy or simply shift development toward traditional hotel rooms. Council members can support, modify, or decline the concept at the June 15 workshop; if they give a green light, staff would return with draft ordinance language for formal readings at a later meeting.
