What is the Hearing About?
The Town received an application for a Development Agreement from the property owners to add short-term rentals as a permitted use at 24 Albert Street (PID# 90210386). The property is currently zoned Low-Density Residential (R-1) and has an existing building containing two (2) units.
The property owners are now applying to allow the units to be used as dwellings or short-term rentals, or a combination of the two. The proposed Development Agreement does not require the property owner(s) or short-term rental host to reside on-site.
How Will This Affect Me?
The proposed Development Agreement will allow units in the existing building to be used as residential dwellings and/or short-term rentals. These changes will only apply to this property.
