Title
Consider An Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. 4255, Relating To Temporary Short-Term Rental And Bed And Breakfast Permits During Interim Prohibition.
Body
BACKGROUND:
On May 6, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4255 establishing Title IX, Chapter 100 - Temporary Short-Term Rental and Bed and Breakfast Permit During Interim Prohibition. The purpose of that action was to provide an interim regulatory structure for certain transient lodging uses during a temporary suspension of the short-term rental special use permit process.
Since adoption, the City Council received staff briefings, on September 23, October 14, and October 28, 2025, and considered broader policy options regarding transient lodging uses. Following this review, Council has determined that the temporary framework created under Ordinance No. 4255 is no longer necessary for the regulation and administration of lodging license permits to Short-Term Rental and Bed and Breakfast operations with the proposed amendments to Ch. 97 - Hotel Code.
The attached ordinance formally repeals Ordinance No. 4255 in its entirety. The repeal does not impact any ongoing enforcement actions, complaints, or claims initiated under prior ordinances.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
Repeal of Ordinance No. 4255 removes a temporary chapter that is no longer aligned with Council’s long-term regulatory approach to short-term rentals.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends approval of the repeal of Title IX, Chapter 100 of the Carrollton Code of Ordinances.
