HomeMy WebLinkAboutpublic comment on_ short term rental moratorium
[CAUTION - EXTERNAL EMAIL]
PA City Council :
I'm a resident and property owner here in Port Angeles, and am emailing you to voice my strong support for enforcement of existing regulations on short term rental properties, whether
or not the council also approves a moratorium on new short term rentals.
Port Angeles has a glaring housing shortage which makes it illogical to ignore existing illegal short term rental listings in locations where they are already disallowed. Immediate
action to enforce existing rules would quickly motivate sale or long term rental of many of those properties. If the council thinks a moratorium completely disallowing new short term
rentals in all areas would help, and if that doesn't divert or delay enforcement on the existing illegal short term rentals, then a moratorium on new ones also makes sense. But please,
whether new moratorium or none: please move ahead to enforce the short term rental regulations we already have on existing violators!
Respectfully,
Gail Cripe
