Short-term rental owners get reprieve in Gearhart
Reading of
ordinance will
wait until August
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
GEARHART — Two
consecutive days of four-
hour meetings, public com-
ment and deliberation still
left Gearhart without a
short-term rental ordinance.
But by 10 p.m. Wednesday,
it was getting closer.
Councilors declined to
conduct a first reading of the
ordinance, designed to regu-
late properties rented for less
than 30 days. But a revised
draft of Gearhart’s zone code
amendments for short-term
rental properties from city
councilors will be presented
at Gearhart’s August council
meeting.
Officials worked their
way through the amend-
ments, picking up where
they left off Tuesday night
in a public hearing at the
firehouse. Most of the con-
ditions presented by the
Planning Commission were
left intact, with signifi-
cant changes to the number
of permits offered to prop-
erty owners, an extension to
bring properties to code and
a discounted fee for property

owners who provide go-bags
to their guests. Councilors
raised the proposed permit
fee from $500 to $600 per
short-term rental property
application, with a refund of
$100 for those who provide
tsunami preparedness sup-
plies to their guests.
The permit fee and lodging
taxes are designed to cover
the city’s costs, City Admin-
istrator Chad Sweet said. He
estimated city income from
short-term rentals could
reach $200,000, with more
than $140,000 from lodg-
ing taxes, paid quarterly, and
$50,000 from rental fees.
Other conditions for per-
mit applicants include pro-
viding neighbor notice and a
24-hour representative able
to physically respond to the
vacation rental site within
30 minutes. Property own-
ers would be required to dis-
play a notice of occupancy,
parking and good neighbor
policies in every rental, and
occupancy limited to two
people per bedroom. A pro-
vision requiring a maximum
occupancy of more than 10
people was deleted if a prop-
erty otherwise meets the
ordinance requirements.
Tsunami ready
Councilors
expressed
concern for visitors unpre-
pared for risks in the tsunami
zone. “From a preparedness
standpoint, I feel all these
items should be mandatory,”
Councilor Dan Jesse said.
“We owe it to people com-
ing to our community to
have someone looking after
them.”
A Planning Commission
recommendation of go-bags
and a NOAA weather radio
was modified to offer a dis-
count on the application
for homeowners providing
emergency supplies.
Councilors also con-
sidered what conditions
would warrant a loss of per-
mit, forming a consensus
that three citations to sep-
arate rental parties would
Care
be required to trigger revo-
cation, rather than multi-
ple citations from a single
incident.
A “bad group” should not
be enough to revoke an own-
er’s permit, Councilor Sue
Lorain said.
“I don’t think it’s fair to
kick somebody out because
of a bad apple,” Jesse added.
The city will also provide
language for a variance pro-
cess, one which could impact
several Gearhart proper-
ties, including the Lodge
at Little Beach and Break-
away Lodge, both of which
received approval from the
city in 1994 to operate under
hotel rules. “Both submitted
evidence they’ve long been
used as lodges,” Watts said.
They have each paid the
7 percent lodging tax since
that time, Sweet said, and
could be treated as noncon-
forming properties.
Planner Carole Connell
advised putting a “place-
holder” to the ordinance to
consider variance procedure.
“The key is to have crite-
ria that can be applied across
the board,” Watts said.
With the close of delib-
erations, councilors unani-
mously approved a motion
to direct staff to prepare
a final document in ordi-
nance form for its August
meeting.
