She responded to questions about opening on Sundays stating that it is not possible with current staffing levels and would require hiring additional staff.

Motion made by Commissioner Weaver to approve the Consent Agenda; seconded by Commissioner DeCiccio. There were no public comments. Motion carried unanimously with a 5-0 vote.

11) Action ItemsRequiring Discussion a. Discussion on the regulation of short-term rentals. Director of Planning and Transportation Jeff Briggs noted that this is a result of a request by a resident, Rick Keith, that the city consider allowing short-term rentals where the owner lives on-site. He explained the basis for the city code which prohibits short-term rentals for periods less than one month which effectively eliminates vacation rentals. He said there may be some opportunities to revisit the code to require homesteading of property which may work for duplexes, garage apartments or guest houses and to allow only for historic properties or city-wide with an on-premise owner.

Commissioner Weaver gave a presentation on the issues with short-term rentals in single-family neighborhoods beginning with Osceola County which now allows short- term rentals on homestead properties and with an on-site owner. He reviewed the City of Orlando's regulations and his proposed changes to limit number of guests to four which reduces the ability to rent out entire houses. Requirements include a short-term rental permit application fee and taxes and prohibits current commission members from eligibility for two years from inception. He gave a presentation on cities that allow short- term rentals and advantages of allowing short-term rentals including general fund revenue generation, visitor dollars and owner income. He said taxes paid by guests could be used to augment housing rehabilitation programs or a public art fund.

Mr. Ardaman stated state statute prohibits local agencies from banning or regulating the duration or frequency of rentals; however, the law provides that that prohibition does not apply to any local law ordinance in effect prior to June 1, 2011. The city’s ban was grandfathered in since it was in effect prior to 2011 and if the commission elects to modify its rule and allow certain short-term rentals, the city runs the risk of invalidating that grandfathered status. He stated that, in accordance with an Attorney General’s opinion, if short-term rentals were allowed, even in a pilot program, the city could not re-establish its prohibition; however, if short-term rentals are allowed in limited situations, i.e. owner-occupied houses, the prohibition in other situations could remain in place. He added the city could still restrict short-term rentals in some areas/instances but it may be challenged and pointed out that the city cannot in any case limit the frequency or duration of rentals. Discussion followed on the ability to regulate in certain situations, the potential for challenges and impact if the state law changes.

Commissioner Weaver pointed out that this will promote putting homes on Historic Register, alleviate gentrification, and reduce impact on traffic. He would support allowing on historic properties as opposed to historic designations.

Mayor Anderson said he feels the risk is too large and potentially expensive to respond to challenges. Commissioner Weaver said he has not heard of reports of litigation and restated benefits of allowing short-term rentals.

Commissioner Sullivan said he likes the idea but is reluctant since the city will be giving up its grandfathered status and the potential for changes at the state level. Further discussion followed.

Motion made by Commissioner Weaver to provide direction to staff to bring forward an ordinance; seconded by Commissioner Sullivan.

Motion made by Commissioner Sullivanto amend the motion to direct staff to develop a way to receive public input.

Mr. Knight advised that citywide notice could be given, at a cost of approximately $6k, or a survey, but public notice would be given at readings of the ordinance.

Motion made by Commissioner Weaver to amend the motion to restrict short-term rentals to historically designated properties. (Accepted by Commissioner Sullivan.)

Discussion followed on the extent, type and cost of city-wide public notice ($6k). Commissioners Sullivan and Weaver supported city-wide notice.

Beth Fox, 647 Callahan Street, owner of two long-term rentals spoke in favor of owner- occupied short-term rentals with limitation on number of guests and paying a fee. See sees no benefit in limiting this to historic properties. She has not seen a negative impact to her neighborhood and appreciates the income and said the city benefits from her referral to Winter Park businesses and restaurants.

Rick Keith, 849 Antonette Avenue, said allowing short-term rentals gives him the flexibility to rent the other side of his duplex but also reserve it for family guests. The income is appreciated for maintenance and upkeep. He said he has experienced a reduction in rentals since he cannot rent for less than 30 days and expressed his hope for a resolution.

Rafael Nevez, Orwin Manor resident and owner of a vacation rental management company, addressed the myths about vacation rentalsand noted that the typical guests are families and there is minimal impact on housing and rents. He encouraged the Commission to consider the benefits.

Jennifer McMurtray, 217 Lincolnshire Road, corporate housing provider, said she the city is losing transient tax revenue and business by prohibiting short-term rentals. She feels the 30-day minimum duration is too restrictive and flexibility is needed to fill gaps between rentals.

Steve Simms, 1201 Tom Gurney Drive, spoke about his experience with short-term rentals in New Smyrna Beach and opposed any loosening of any restrictions.

Michael Voll, 719 French Avenue, commented on issues experienced in his neighborhood and expressed his concerns about impact to historic districts and opposed short-term rentals because it opens the city to liability.

Upon a roll call vote on the main motion with amendments, Commissioners Sullivan and Weaver voted yes and Commissioners DeCiccio and Cruzada and Mayor Anderson voted no. Motion failed with a 2-3 vote.

9) Public Comments| 5 p.m. or soon thereafter Steven Gallagher, 1930 Summerland Drive, showed images of conditions in the city needing to be addressed and offered suggestions to install a fence or hedge around the trash collection site near the entrance to the train station; repair water fountains; convert unused open space at Dinky Dock for parking and remove city vehicles parked outside the cemetery offices at Palm Cemetery.

A recess was held from 5:47 to 6:15 p.m.

Mayor Anderson suggested combing the Orange Avenue complete street study, I- 4/Fairbanks into a topic of having staff bring back recommendations for use of the $750k allocated for studies. Approved by consensus.

Commissioner Cruzada expressed his concern at the possibility of having to use reserve funds.

Commissioner Weaver opposed the Orange Avenue street study and preferred that staff determine whether a roundabout is feasible before moving forward with a more detailed study and also the I-4 Fairbanks study. He suggested an alternate location for Sunrail and potential use for roundabout and sell the land not needed or use for underground regional stormwater, He suggested shorter hours on Sunday to reduce costs.

Mr. Knight explained that the fees are the same for WP9 but the residential rate are recommended to be extended to residents of Winter Pines community. He stated that the commission could consider a phased in rate for current members or buying a packet of greens fees if purchased by a certain date to ease into new rates.

Commissioner Sullivan suggested charging current members of Winter Pines GC the current rate in an effort to retain regular golfers.

Mr. Seeley noted that the golf course is not taking new members at this time and suggested keeping the rate available for existing members only.

14) City Commission Reports Commissioner Sullivan - • Listed locations for campaign election sign recycling – Howell Branch fire station, Mead Garden and Cady Way Pool. • Advocated for advisory board involvement in what goes on with the city. He stated that city staff has discretion on whether to bring items to the boards with the exception of RFPs affecting city policy; which are required to go before a board. He asked staff to outline and define what would be a significant change to policy and take such policies to advisory board for review. He cited the changes to stormwater fee billing that goes from the utility bill to the property tax bill as a topic that might have been of interested to a citizen board.

Commissioner DeCiccio agrees that certain topics should go to the board for review, but is unsure how to define what is significant. She feels a change in rates should go before the board. Commissioner Cruzada agreed that board members should be involved. Mr. Knight said staff will attempt to define and ensure significant items go before advisory boards.

Commissioner DeCiccio - • Received an e-mail regarding the Muscovy ducks on Lake Knowlesand Muscovy. Mrs. Eby explained the process for removing ducks and noted that there has been a lot of public outcry as a result. She stated that the ducks cannot be relocated according to Florida Fisch and Wildlife rules. She discussed the hardship with communities not being able to agree on how to handle removal of the ducks. Commissioner DeCiccio asked that Ms. Eby speak to resident regarding the options. Ms. Eby stated she will speak to the neighbor and continue to reach out and educate the community.

Commissioner Weaver - • Spoke about recycling efforts as they related to the plastic plates and asked Mrs. Eby to request the caterer to find a recyclable plate option to be used at any future events. • Asked that the lights in the chamber near the right side of the dais be removed to reduce glare from the screen.

Mayor Anderson - • Suggested the commission take another look at the paid banner program for light poles. He stated that it is staff's discretion to interpret and apply policy and there is some sensitivity for how the decisions are being made. He suggested revisiting the program and consider suspending the paid portion. Commissioner DeCiccio noted that the ordinance related to banners was recently review strengthened by the commission pursuant to the Supreme Court. Mayor Anderson feels the city has a situation where staff is being asked to interpret provisions and does not feel this is the best approach. He suggested staff come back with a different approach.

Mr. Knight stated that staff can research and bring back options that are less discretionary on the part of staff. He noted that Rollins College has paid for September banners.

Mr. Ardaman added that the policy meets Supreme Court ruling. He provided an option by which the commission consider specifics about banner content which would narrow staff's discretion. He stated that staff will have an option that will be more specific to what the commission would like to allow.
