ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Request to Concur with the Recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission and Staff to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Approving a SPECIAL USE in a Class R-4 (Single-Family Residential) District, for a SHORT-TERM RENTAL, for the Property Located at 2303 W. MARQUETTE STREET, (Parcel Identification No. 18-18-255-018) Peoria, IL. (Council District 1)
Body
BACKGROUND: The applicant and property owner, Steven Hill, requests to obtain a special use to use an existing single-family dwelling with two bedrooms as a short term rental. The proposal is to allow up to 1 guest per bedroom on the main floor. This property is not within a Neighborhood Association. The Unified Development Code stipulates no more than 3% or 18 special use short term rentals are allowed within .25 miles of the property. Approval of this request will bring the total Special Use Short Term Rentals within the area to 1.
Renting all or part of a dwelling to transient guest(s) for a period less than thirty (30) consecutive days is considered a short term rental. A short term rental, in the R-4 (Single Family Residential) District, that is not occupied by the property owner, must receive special use approval in addition to the following:
1. The owner shall comply with the residential property registration code of the City of Peoria.
2. The owner shall obtain and yearly maintain a valid Short Term Rental license from the City of Peoria and the owner shall pay Hotel or Motel Room Rental Use or Privilege tax to the City of Peoria. The license is revocable.
The Planning & Zoning Commission found that the request, in case PZ 873-2022, met the Findings of Fact and voted 5-0 to approve the request subject to the following conditions:
1. Fire extinguishers shall be installed according to the 2018 International Fire Code Chapter 9, Section 906.
2. Interconnected smoke alarms shall be installed according to the 2018 International Fire Code Chapter 9, Section 907.
3. Carbon monoxide detectors shall be installed according to the 2018 International Fire Code Chapter 9, Section 915.2.1.
4. Additional dwelling units cannot be added to the site.
5. The residence shall comply with the 2018 International Building & Fire Codes prior to any occupancy. Inspections shall be required to verify compliance.
6. Occupancy of the short term rental shall not exceed the standards set forth in the Building and Fire Code of one (1) guest per bedroom on the main floor.
7. The owner shall obtain and maintain a valid Short Term Rental license from the City of Peoria and the owner shall pay Room Rental Use or Privilege tax to the City of Peoria.
8. An approved Special Use is valid for the Applicant only as identified on the special use application submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission. An approved Special Use shall become null and void upon any change in ownership of the property which results in the removal of all prior applicants. Such change in ownership of the property will require a new special use application and approval.
9. The driveway from the alley shall be replaced with an all-weather dustless surface such as asphalt or concrete. Appropriate driveway permits shall be obtained.
