Lexington’s Board of Adjustment voted 4-3 today to deny an application to convert a single-family home at 714 Hambrick Ave. into an un-hosted short-term rental property under Lexington’s new STR law.
The city’s Division of Planning staff had recommended approval. The Mentelle Neighborhood Association’s board of directors opposed the application. Several neighbors spoke against the application, outlining concerns they had, including that the city has already permitted too many un-hosted STRs already in and near the neighborhood.
The applicants have the right to appeal the decision to Circuit Court.*
