Public Hearing Feb. 25 to Consider Short-Term Rentals
The Planning and Zoning Board will be conducting a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25 in the Council Chambers of City Hall to consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow short-term rentals available through hosting platforms such as Airbnb.
Currently, the City prohibits short-term rentals. The proposed amendment would allow short-term rentals of individual rooms where the homeowner, or “host,” is present. The proposed amendment would not allow the short-term rental of an entire home.
At the public hearing, anyone wishing to make a public statement will be encouraged to do so. Written comments may be submitted to the Board prior to or at the public hearing.
A copy of the proposed amendment is available for review in the office of the Director of Planning and Economic Development, 303 West Wesley Street, Wheaton, Illinois during normal business hours.
