No Short Term Rentals Without HOA Approval

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 2, 2013.  There was a public hearing held concerning changing Ordinance #13-13.  The change would not allow Short Term Renal licenses to be issued within subdivisions without HOA approval. 

Mayor Spuhler indicated that he didn’t want to see this change occur.  Currently, the City is treating everyone the same.  Regardless of who requests a short term rental license, as long as they follow all of the required procedures, they will be given such a license.  With this suggested change, those individuals in an HOA (Home Owner’s Association) would be treated differently.  They would not be given a short term rental license if their home is in a subdivision where their CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) state short term rentals are not allowed.  In other words, the City would be trying to enforce a subdivisions CC&R’s.  This puts the City in the middle between the HOA and the individual home owner. Mayor Spuhler doesn’t want to see this happen.

No other comments were made at the Public Hearing.
