The Chattanooga City Council votes this evening on whether to establish a special district for short-term vacation rental businesses.
The body has wrestled with how best to balance the property rights of people who want to operate short-term rentals and residents who don't want them in their neighborhoods. Officials say Chattanooga already has hundreds of short-term rental operations who are not in compliance with zoning requirements. The proposed special district would replace zoning procedures with a simpler permit process.
