Jenkintown Borough Council is considering a draft ordinance that would amend the zoning code to allow short-term rentals by special exception in certain zoning districts and amend existing rental property requirements to set forth additional licensure and regulations for the operation of rentals, including short-term rentals. The revised Chapter 142, Rental Properties, contains provisions that address the following: the requirement to obtain an annual license for rental properties, including short-term rentals with certain exceptions; annual license procedures and license application requirements; and penalties for noncompliance. A copy of the full text of the draft ordinance is available at the Borough of Jenkintown Municipal Building, 700 Summit Ave. A public hearing on the draft ordinance will be held on Wednesday, March 26, at 7 p.m. at the Borough Hall.
