Long term rentals of one month or longer, to fellow senior citizens, is not the issue. It’s rentals by the night, while the homeowner is concurrently living in the home, to people of all ages, which has people up in arms. The key litmus test to just about every zoning controversy is that the activity in question needs to be in harmony with the existing neighborhood. Nightly rentals, in a single family residential 55+ retirement community, are most definitely not in harmony with the existing neighborhood.
1. What you describe is not a right, it's a preference
2. Your delineation of short/long, occupied/vacant, young/old is arbitrary with no connection to any actual problem.
3. Again (for the 3rd time), is this truly a common problem, is this a "one time at band camp" issue, or is it anticipatory whining?
4. To hear it on these boards, this activity so prevalent that it *IS* the existing neighborhood and so it must be in harmony.
5. Has no one tried solving a real issue through Community Standards or the Sheriff's office or is it more that there have been no real issues to solve?
