SECTION 3. Chapter 20, Article 5, Section 20-554 of the Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, 2018 Edition, and amendments thereto, is hereby enacted to read as follows:

 

20-554             SHORT-TERM RENTAL

 

(1)        Purpose

These design standards are to ensure that Short-Term Rental uses are compatible with the desired character and livability of the zoning districts in which such uses are permitted.

 

(2)        Residency Requirements

 

(i)         The Short-Term Rental use shall be considered an Accessory Use when the Short-Term Rental is located in the same Dwelling Unit in which the owner resides.

 

(ii)        The Short-Term Rental use shall be considered an Accessory Use when the Short-Term Rental is located on a property with a registered Accessory Dwelling Unit.

 

(iii)       The Short-Term Rental use shall be considered a Special Use when the Short-Term Rental is not located in the same Dwelling Unit in which the owner resides.

 

 

 

 

(3)        Site-Related Standards

 

(i)         All properties containing a Short-Term Rental use shall comply with the Occupancy Limits established at Chapter 20, Section 20-601(d) of the City Code.

 

(ii)        Any structure used for Short-Term Rental shall be initially approved in accordance with the process to establish its Principal Use or Structure.

 

(iii)       The Dwelling Unit and site shall remain residential in appearance and characteristics. Internal or external changes that will make the Dwelling Unit and site appear less residential in character or function are prohibited. Examples of such prohibited alterations include, but are not limited to: construction of Parking Lots, paving of required Setbacks, or the addition of commercial-like exterior lighting.

 

(iv)       Any Dwelling Unit used for Short-Term Rental shall be a legally established Dwelling Unit, or shall obtain a Registration of Nonconforming Use as required at Chapter 20, Article 15 of the City Code, as amended.

 

(v)        Signs shall comply with the provisions outlined at Chapter 5, Article 18 of the City Code, as amended.

 

(4)        Parking

 

(i)         Owner Occupied Short-Term Rental. Parking for an owner occupied Short-Term Rental use shall comply with the parking required for the principal use of the site.

 

(ii)        Non-Owner Occupied Short-Term Rental. Parking for a non-owner occupied Short-Term Rental use shall comply with Section 20-902 of this Article.
