VACATION HOMES Administrator Repola reviewed the recent complaints received for one specific vacation home rental, A Celtic Lady's Mountain Retreat, and the need to address issues related
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Study Session - March 28,2007 - Page 2 to vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. The Municipal Code and the Development Code contain inconsistencies on vacation rentAls, specifically Bed and Breakfast. The Municipal code permits vacation rentals including B&B's in all residential zoning districts, whereas, the Development Code only allows them in RM and R-2 zoning districts. Seven strategies were discussed including the pros and cons: 1) do nothing; 2) require that a vacation homes not provide any other business service; 3) limit vacation home rentals to one party; 4) limit groups to no more than eight persons, 5) set minimum for length of stay; 6) strict interpretation and enforcement; 7) prohibit vacation homes in all residential zoning districts. Attorney White provided a historical background on the vacation rental industry in Estes Park that began prior to the incorporation of the town. Business licensing and regulation of the industry began in the late 80's to address concerns raised by residents. The issue has been regulated through the Municipal Code rather than the Development Code due to grand-fathering requirements. He stated the recent concerns raised should be addressed with clear definitions within the Municipal Code. Discussion followed and is summarized: B&B's should be considered if resident owner operated, no other commercial or home occupations should be conducted at a vacation rental, only one rental agreement should be allowed, clear definition of party, add language to business license application that informs each applicant that compliance with local covenants is required, how would minimum stay requirements affect local businesses, violation notices should be sent to properties advertising accommodations for more than 8, enforcement needs to be increased. The following definition was recommended: A vacation home rental property in a residential zoning district (RE-1, RE, E-1, E R, R- 1, R-2 and R-M) \s solely for the purpose of overnight. accommodations for periods of less than 30 days with one rental agrdement No other commercial uses and/or home occupations are permitted. There shall be no on-sight management or employee. Staff is proposing code enforcement be moved to the Police Department to provide 24/7 enforcement which would require hiring an additional police employee. This issue will be discussed at the April Public Safety Committee meeting. Staff will present modifications to the current language in the Municipal Code at the Community Development meeting on April 5m FIRE DISTRICT Administrator Repola reported staff has a meeting to discuss changes to the current IGA with the County on Tuesday, April 3,2007. The Town will propose the termination of the Automatic Response Agreement; however, if the County is unable to provide fire protection to the residents currently served by the Emes Park Fire Department, the Town is willing to provide specific services contingent on an equitable arrangement to offset the Town's costs. Staff will report the outcome of this meeting at the April Public Safety meeting. There being no further business, Mayor Baudek adjourned the meeting at 3:50 p.m. Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk

The naming rights proposal has been retracted by the Rodeo Committee. No naming rights will be proposed this year; however, the Committee may consider it in the future. Reports. • Bond Park Booking Policy - Dir. Pickering reviewed the policy that states specifically no new activities/events will be given use of the park on holiday weekends or the summer tourist season without approval from the Community Development Committee and Town Board. There are approximately eight events that use the park from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Currently the sponsor of an event is required to have a business license which all vendors operate under. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring entity to provide the Town with a list of vendors and to make sure that sales tax is being collected and reported. Staff performs random checks during a special event to confirm sales tax is being collected by the vendors. Staff would propose moving current events that primarily sale goods to the newly renovated Stanley Fairground facilities once completed in 2 to 3 years. The Committee suggested additional entertainment including evening events be provided in the park to encourage visitors to stay downtown during large events at the fairgrounds. Discussion followed on the
I , RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - April 5,2007 - Page 2 potential to provide shuttle buses from the fairground to downtown during the summer months as events move from Bond Park. Comments were heard from Paul Fishman/14'ers Caf6 regarding the need to display food service licenses during special events, require special event vendors to purchase a business license and the need to attract visitors downtown during special events. Jim Barrie/A Celtic Lady's Mountain Retreat stated a nominal fee would not preclude a vendor from participating in a special event; however, he suggested the responsibility for registering and fee collection be placed on the event organizer not the Town. The Committee requested staff research the appropriate fees and administrative options for a vendor license, research the timing for these events to move to the Stanley Fairgrounds, and discuss with the Rodeo Committee and the Scottish Festival options for entertainment in Bond Park during their events. • Non-Traditional Advertising - Mgr. Marsh reported the Estes Park Marketing Committee plans to spend over 18% of its media budget with online programs such as Denver Newspaper Agency Webs, Channels 4 and 9 websites, Google, Town website, e-Newsletter, and CO.com.

Proposed Vacation Home Municipal Code Revisions - Discussion. Dir. Joseph provided a brief history of the licensing of vacation homes in Estes Park. Recent discussion with neighbors and business owners has called for more restrictive use of a vacation home in a residential neighborhood and better enforcement. The revisions allow vacation homes to operate in all residential zoning districts as a principal full-time use with the following proposed regulations: (1) Prohibit any related or unrelated services or home occupation businesses; (2) Overnight occupancy of a vacation home shall not exceed eight people nor be rented to multiple parties (separate rental agreement); (3) No onsite customer services while the residence is occupied or rented as a vacation home; (4) No commercial activities other than accommodations shall be allowed; (5) No home occupation businesses would be permitted at any time on properties licensed as a vacation home, or non-concurrent home occupation businesses would be allowed when the vacation home is not in use; (6) B&B provision would allow an owner occupied vacation home to rent to multiple parties and provide daily cleaning, laundry and food services. Discussion was heard and is summarized as follows: the occupancy of eight should never exceed eight including the occupancy of the homeowners (example: 2 homeowners plus 6 guests); leasing of a property to run a B&B would not be permitted; kitchen facilities shall be consistent with single-family residential use (no efficiency kitchens permitted); difficulty in regulating/enforcing a non-concurrent home occupation license; impact of vacation homes on residential neighborhoods; requiring the posting of regulations at each vacation rental; setting a minimum night requirement. Jim Barrie/A Celtic Lady's Mountain Retreat expressed concern that the proposed revisions do not address the impact of a vacation home on the residential neighborhoods. He stated the current language that allows an onsite manager to be present during the rental to multiple parties aids in maintaining compliance with the Town's regulations. Requiring a property owner to live onsite full time would create a larger impact on the neighborhood with an increase in traffic and noise. The new regulations would decrease the number of vacation rentals and B&Bs in Estes Park. Mr. Barrie requested the Town consider adopting a set time when the new regulations would be enforced as businesses are accepting reservations for future dates. Administrator Repola stated the regulations are an effort to protect the residential character of the neighborhood. He informed the Committee no new B&Bs will be permitted unless the property is within the RM or R-2 (special review) zoning districts as required by the Estes Valley Development Code; however, current businesses will be permitted to continue their operations. Tom Ewing/1082 Fall River Court strongly suggested the Town develop a clear definition of a vacation home with language that is easily interrupted and enforced, the proposed business should be investigated prior to issuance of a business license to ensure that it conforms to the regulations of the Town and private covenants, business owners should be made aware of the Town's regulations, and favors a vacation rental over a B&B operation with a minimum stay of 3 nights in a residential neighborhood. Marge Gooldy/1071 Fall River Court would encourage the Committee to adopt language that would not permit any other commercial activity at a vacation home.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - April 5,2007 - Page 4 Dir. Joseph stated a growing trend is the purchasing of homes in Estes Park by hotel operators for overflow capacity. These stays could be nightly, with a larger impact on the neighborhoods. The Committee discussed options to address the issue such as a minimum stay requirement. The Committee requests staff prepare the revision for presentation at the April 24~h Town Board meeting including the language that would prohibit a home occupation business concurrently with a vacation home and eliminating the optional B&B provision. Reports. Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings. • Activity and Budget Summaries • Building Permit Summaries CONFERENCE CENTER TOUR. All wishing to tour the newly renovated Conference Center will meet on-site directly after the meeting.
