Short-term rental transactions will be included in the city’s lodging tax, with staff first reviewing the permit system to identify properties that should pay it. The townhome financing measure creates districts where property owners make service payments instead of regular property taxes, with those payments supporting public improvements. Council also referred proposed hookah-bar and tobacco-establishment zoning rules to the Municipal Planning Commission for review.
