The Dalles City Council approved a moratorium on new non-owner occupied short-term rental licenses in residential zones for the next 12 months while the City determines what kind of revisions should be made to their regulations on STR’s.  The action came after Councilors had received complaints about STR’s in recent months.  Mayor Rich Mays says staff will come back to them with options, and there are a wide range to be looked at.  The moratorium does not prevent current operators of existing STR’s from applying for a license renewal in 2024.
