Penetanguishene staff is working to align short-term-rental discussions before the 2022 summer season starts.
Staff recommended taking a look at licensing bylaw examples from other municipalities dealing with STRs and obtaining community feedback through a survey, open houses and public meeting.
Public consultation on the draft zoning bylaw is anticipated for the first quarter of 2022, with a bylaw being presented on STRs in late spring to coincide with the new zoning bylaw, prior to the summer season.
The presentation on the draft zoning bylaw, as well as the short-term-rental licensing options referral report, can be viewed in the committee of the whole agenda on the Town of Penetanguishene website.
