Rentals: Code enforcement actions may begin this week
Continued from Page 1A
Vacation rentals are treated
like hotels and motels and
are only allowed in commer-
cial zones. The main differ-
ence between vacation rent-
als and homestay lodging is
that homeowners must occupy
and manage homestay lodg-
ing, rather than hire managers
to do the job.

tial zoning violations. The city
expects to begin code enforce-
ment actions this week.

sent a tiny fraction of the city’s

vacation rentals and second

and exacerbate Astoria’s hous-

Councilor Cindy Price said.
Price, however, would
wait until the city has com-

ing inventory and brought on

Councilors Drew Herzig
and Zetty Nemlowill are inter-

“I really don’t want us to
just sit here and say, ‘Well,
there’s nothing we can do at
this point.’ We’re going to end
up with half a city of empty
houses,” Herzig said.
Nemlowill, who served
on the Planning Commission
before being elected to the City
Council, would consider ban-
ning homestay lodging from
residential neighborhoods. She
said she has seen homeown-
ers use homestay lodging as
a “loophole” and a “vacation
rental in disguise” because of
the lack of city enforcement.
“I don’t want to have a
problem on our hands like
Gearhart, and then have to deal
with cleaning up that mess,”
she said.
