Malvern Borough Council will hold a public hearing to consider zoning amendments that would define and regulate short-term rental units and update rules for fences and walls throughout the borough. The proposed ordinance would amend the borough’s zoning code to establish a formal definition of “short-term rental unit” and specify which zoning districts would permit the use. Officials said the measure is intended to allow short-term rentals in designated areas while preventing disruptions to residential neighborhoods. The ordinance would also revise the section of the zoning code governing fences and walls to clarify standards for their placement, height and maintenance. The public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. at Malvern Borough Hall, 1 E. First Ave.
