The main item on the commission’s agenda is a use permit and categorical exemption for a short-term rental Lois Langlois is proposing at 1270 Martin St.

Community Development Director Jenni Byers’ report to the commission explains that Langlois is proposing to rent out on Airbnb a unit that includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchenette and family room on the ground floor of the two-story single-family residence. The unit will accommodate up to four people.

City requirements will include a business license for the rental’s operation, and working with the city to provide transient occupancy tax — or bed tax — from the rental, Byers’ report said.

Byers said staff is recommending approval of the permit and categorical exemption.
