Yardley Borough Council is considering a draft ordinance regulating short-term lodging. The proposed ordinance sets definitions for bedroom, dwelling, dwelling unit, local contact person, rental and short-term lodging; sets forth regulations for the rental of short-term lodging, restricting it to the C-1 (Pedestrian-Oriented Commercial) and C-2 (Vehicular Oriented Commercial) zoning districts; categorizes rentals as specific bedroom or entire residential dwelling accommodations; and regulates the minimum and maximum duration of short-term lodging. It also sets terms for applications, insurance, inspection, and regulations and restrictions for obtaining an annual, mandatory short-term lodging license, including how many may be obtained. A copy of the proposed ordinance may be reviewed at Borough Hall during normal business hours. A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Borough Hall, 56 S. Main St.
