City Attorney Eric Vail informed the Council of the need to have a phase-out period to allow for a fair time period for owners of short-term vacation rentals to recuperate investments or re-purpose their properties. He would like the City Council to consider adopting a blanket time, and if allowing for a hardship provision, he would need to do further research to draw reasonable conclusions.

Councilmember Mark Carnevale feels that a two-year phase-out plan would be enough time for owners to re-purpose their properties and questioned if a hardship provision is even necessary.
