Councilmember Fosque confirmed that they would not be eligible to rent out the home on a short-term rental basis. Mayor. Jones asked how council would be able to enforce the 185-day policy. Councilmember Fosque stated that it Councilmember Krause asked if the owner had to be present while renting the Homestay. Councilmember Fosque explained that the owner would not need to be present. Councilmember Fosque continued on to state that the owner-occupied provision isagray area. Mayor. Jones asked for Councilmember Fosque to explain the Planning Commission's rationale for the owner-occupied provision. Councilmember Fosque explained that the Planning Commission is concerned about absentee landlords buying up properties in town. Concerned about protecting the rights of those in the residential districts. This language would circumvent outside investors from buying up properties in town for this purpose. Councilmember Fosque clarified that those currently operating a Homestay int town would not be subject to these regulations but would be grandfathered in. Counciimember Burger asked whyi it was bad for investors to buy property. Councilmember Fosque stated thati it would decrease property value in town. Councilmember Burger stated that he feels that if property was being purchased ata a higher rate, that it would in turn automatically increase property values. Councilmember Byrd stated that residents in town want real people buying property in town. Councilmember Fosque stated that the Planning Commission wants permanent residents buying the property. Councilmember Fosque expressed his concern about the town potentially turning into Cape Charles, VA. He also explained that during the winter months no one is around because the homes are mostly used as summer vacation rentals. Commissioner Grier is concerned that this itemi is a sticking point, foreshadowing that certain parts of town may not be happy to learn that the house next to them nowl has different types of people rotating in and out. Commissioner Grier feels that the owner-occupied provision is a necessary component to the regulation, giving Mr. Alan Silverman, Parker Street, shared that while the issue is valid what type of provisions are there in the code fore enforcing the regulations on the violators. Councilmember Fosque agreed that enforcement in town has not been as rigid was he would like, stating that it would mostly Councilmember Bundick shared that the onlyi item in the proposed language he is concerned about is the owner- occupied provision. Could council further empower the zoning administrator to review the variance? Councilmember Fosque stated that the town needs residents. Councilmember Bundick suggested that council move forward with regulating Homestays in smaller steps, stating that they could make further restrictions down the road. Mayor. Jones read aloud some discussion points that were given to him by a neighbor that currently operates al Homestayi in town but was unable to be present. Mayor. Jones shared that the neighbor purchased their home in Onancock as a second home, a future retirement home, they rent as a Homestay to assist them with the financial upkeep of a second home. Mayor Jones shared that since his neighbor has been doing these short-term rentals hel has had no problems or concerns about the people his neighbor rents to. Those renters eat in town, shop int town, and spend their money in town. Councilmember Fosque asked why they were not would be up to the zoning administrator. the town a modicum of control over these rentals. be based on neighbor complaints. present to have their issues with the proposed language heard. 2 Ms. Ann Nock, Market Street, expressed her concern that council and the zoningadministrator Mr.. John Morrison, Mallard's at the Wharf, spoke on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Williams on King Street that also operate a Homestay. They were unable to attend the public hearing since they do not live int town full time. The Williams divide their time between Onancock. and Woodbridge since they are still working full- time. They purchased their home on King Street aftera al huge fire in 2000 and then spent approximately eight years restoring the home to its original integrity and style. A few years ago the Williams' decided to rent their home out ona short-term basis to assist with the financial burden of owning two homes. Since the King Street home is where the Williams' plan on retiring to, they are extra cautious as to who they rent their home to. Theyacknowledge the town's need for some regulations in regards to Homestays in town, but not sure that what they are doing differs much from the town renting boat slips to transient boaters. The Williams' stated that to date they have yet to have one complaint froma Mrs.. Janet Fosque, Market Street, is concerned when: she hears council say, "there has not been any problems to date." Stating that thisi is a poor excuse for not being proactive with regulating the Homestays, Mrs. Fosque feels that there is no way to enforce all future Homestays to be Councilmember Fosque explained that council does not need to vote on this issue at this time. Commissioner Dunton shared that this issue has been growing across the county and has created a lot of issues for other localities, and in some cases taking viable housing options away Councilmember Fosque asked if council was interested in taking out the owner-occupied Mr. Rick Turner, Onancock Street, expressed his desire for council to adopt the regulationasit Councilmember Bloxom acknowledged that there are some very reasonable second home owners but that there is no guarantee that they willl be cautious landlords; council runs the risk of being arbitrary with the passage oft this language. Councilmember Bloxom suggested one Councilmember Burger feels that there may be times when one person with more than one Councilmember Fosque asked council for directives to take back to Planning Commission.
