[Added 1-16-2023 by Ord. No. 382]
A. 
The Village is committed to preserving the residential character of its neighborhoods, minimizing potential nuisances, and maintaining the Village's small-town character. The Village intends to protect its residents and visitors from the potentially negative or harmful effects that can arise from commercial rentals, including the potential impact on the appearance, tranquility, and standard of living in the Village's prime residential areas.
B. 
However, the Village also recognizes the potential benefits of tourism and additional lodging opportunities for visitors, as well as the financial benefit that short-term rentals can bring to property owners in the Village. Therefore, the Village wishes to achieve a balance between these considerations by providing that short-term rentals are allowed as special land uses, based upon a consideration of the standards in § 390-134 and in this Short-Term Rental Overlay District.
The uses permitted in the Short-Term Rental Overlay District shall be the uses permitted in the underlying zoning district, plus short-term rentals as special land uses.
