The Dalles City Council discussed where to move next on short-term rentals during their meeting this week. Mayor Rich Mays says municipal staff gave Councilors a wide-range of options to consider. Limiting the number of STR licenses to a percentage of housing units in The Dalles or the number within a given area was brought up. Other areas to be examined is whether to limit STR’s in particular zones, possibly limiting owners to one STR listing, and differentiating between those who actually live in the home they use for an STR and owners who don’t live on the property. A potential moratorium on issuing new permits for STR’s until the City sorts through its rules was also discussed. Councilors will discuss the subject further at their upcoming goal setting session next month.
