City Council’s General Government and Planning Committee will have a special meeting about updates to short-term rental regulations at 3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, at the Government Center (200 E. Main St.). If you are unable to attend, it can be viewed on livestream here.
Potential updates include distance requirements and a formula to help determine when too many STRs are being concentrated in an area. The packet for the special meeting will be posted on Engage Lexington early next week with the full text of the proposals available for review before the meeting.
Should the committee vote to make any changes to the regulations of STRs, the Planning Commission would next be tasked with reviewing the proposed changes to the policy, including holding an open, public hearing to get community feedback before approving and/or disapproving any updates.
