Overview: Town Council approved an update to the Blue Hill Use Standards on June 16, 2021 <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4983578&GUID=72C970B2-544E-4B56-B2CB-F5AEC4471304> to define short-term rentals (STRs) as a residential use in the context of a Mixed Use project. In the same discussion, Council asked staff to study appropriate regulations for STRs in the Blue Hill District in more depth.

Recommendation(s): |
That the Council adopt the resolution, calling a legislative hearing for a Land Use Management Ordinance Text Amendment regarding Short-Term Rental standards in the Blue Hill District on September 22, 2021.
Background
• The Council adopted a Short-Term Rental Ordinance on June 23, 2021 <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4990629&GUID=158986D8-2B8F-4700-ACDA-6C74C6C64511> that applies regulations throughout Chapel Hill but outside of the Blue Hill Form District. Some Council members expressed interest in putting Blue Hill under a similar regulatory framework for STRs.
• Residential projects in the Blue Hill WX- Subdistricts are required to include a non-residential component. Under the update approved on June 16, 2021, STRs are allowed in Blue Hill but do not count toward the non-residential requirement.
• Hotels are allowed in Blue Hill and are defined as a non-residential use. The Form-Based Code does not draw a clear distinction between Overnight Lodging (hotels) and Short-Term Rentals.
