2 2 Official Community Plan(OCP) The OCP policy directs Council to consider Short term Rental rezoning applications in residential zones in Rossland on a project by project basis. When reviewing rezoning proposals for short term rentals, the Council shall consider the following criteria in determining the appropriateness of the proposal: 1) The density of Short Term Rentals in the vicinity of the property which is being proposed to be rezoned for this use; The short term rental policy gives Council direction for determining the appropriate density for short term rentals. The policy states that in general, properties with this zone are limited to one property per block where "one block" shall be considered to be the two sides of a single street that face one another and are bordered on either end by the nearest street or cul de sac. The property is located on Second Ave between Washington St and Spokane St. There are no other properties on this block that are zoned for short term rental use. 2) The road network and parking issues that may exist or arise in the vicinity of the property which is being proposed to be rezoned for Guest Home use; Parking regulations require a total of four spaces for this proposed use (2 for the home and 1 per guest room). There is parking available on the property for 4 vehicles. 3) The presence of a suite does not detract from the quality of life of nearby residents and is not intrusive in the neighbourhood; The block contains a mixture of single family homes, multiple family buildings and a commercial property. The public hearing will give Council the opportunity to hear from adjacent property owners and the general public. 4) Proximity to commercial, recreational, public/institutional centres, or parks and major collectors; The property is close to downtown, the bus route and is located within a block from a restaurant and pub. 5) Impact on affordable housing and long term rentals. Council has adopted the Short term rental policy, new zoning and business license regulations in order to protect the integrity and make up of Rossland as a sustainable, full service, yearround community with a healthy mix of residents and tourists. Specifically, the policy states that the maximum amount of short term rental units in the City is limited to 5% of total dwellings within the City, at the time of a specific unit s approval. 165 of 218

A variety of accommodation types, tenures, and sizes ensures that residents and visitors of all ages and incomes have a diversity of market and non market housing choice. Attachments: 1.
