T-5-25 PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTY ZONING  
ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO SHORT TERM RENTALS OF A RESIDENTIAL  
DWELLING UNIT. Action item: Request to send to ZBA for public hearing.  
Jessica Infelise Datzman, Zoning Administration Coordinator explained to the  
Committee that short term rentals (30 days or less) are currently prohibited. This text  
amendment will help regulate these rentals and curtail issues with large parties. Based on  
existing single family residential codes, they would allow no more than five unrelated  
people at the home, unless they obtain special event approval. There will be a annual  
registration fee and inspections will be conducted by the County. There was some  
discussion about the number of people being allowed at rental properties. Chair Tornatore  
reminded the Committee that the approval vote will send the item to the Zoning Board of  
Appeals for a public hearing.

Building & Zoning Department FY2026 Budget Presentation  
Jim Stran, Building and Zoning Manager covered the Department Summary and recapped  
the current numbers compared to the last five years. He told the Committee that Building  
and Zoning operates from a enterprise fund. He added that they are coming out of their  
slowest season and numbers should increase significantly over the next four months. He  
shared the 2026 revenue projections and expenditures. He explained that expenditures  
have increased due to personnel additions and a three year prepayment for Accela  
software for his department along with Stormwater, Public Works and DuDot, which will  
be reimbursing Building and Zoning.
