Public hearing continues next week in New Fairfield on short-term rentals

New Fairfield officials will be voting next week on a proposal about short term rentals.  The Zoning Commission continued the public hearing at its December 23rd meeting, to January 8th.  Had the proposal been approved at last month's meeting, it would have taken effect with the start of the New Year.  Only bed and breakfasts are currently defined in the town’s zoning regulations.  The proposed amendment would allow rentals of six or fewer days, up to two people per bedroom, as long as a property owner obtains a zoning permit.  The two-year permit costs $500.  The owner would need to have a certificate of insurance for the proposed use, and live either on the same property as the rental or an abutting property.  The permit requirement would not apply to rentals of at least seven days.
