Re: Short Term Rentals
Dear Mayor Jones and Councilmembers:
Attached is the revised Short Term Rental Ordinance that you requested last Tuesday
(September 4, 2018). The revised Ordinance makes short term rentals a principal use in the
Sandbridge Special Service District as mandated by the General Assembly and in any other
area that the City Council, in the future, identifies as a Short Term Rental Overlay District. The
ordinance does not create any STR Overlay Districts at this time. In all other zoning districts that
permit residential dwellings, short term rentals are identified as conditional uses. Properties that
have registered and paid transient occupancy taxes prior to July 1, 2018, are grandfathered from
the conditional use permit requirement.
The attached ordinance creates a single set of regulations applicable to all short term
rental activity in the City. These regulations may be modified or additional or differing conditions
may be imposed by the City Council in connection with the creation of specific STR Overlay
District areas or upon the granting of a conditional use permit, provided such modifications or
conditions are reasonably related to identified zoning and planning considerations. However,
unless and until the City Council takes such future action, the regulations contained in the
attached ordinance would apply to all short term rentals whether they are principal uses,
conditional uses or grandfathered.
The regulations are contained in Section 241.2 of the attached ordinance. Please review
these regulations carefully to ensure that we have captured the intent and direction given. We
have made some changes since the prior draft. Most of the changes are minor or of a technical
nature. For example, we added the words "or operator" in paragraphs 3 (responsible person)
Mayor Louis R. Jones
Members of City Council
Short Term Rentals
September 7, 2018
Page 2of2
and 9 (Insurance), which previously only made reference to the owner of the STR. We also
made revisions to paragraphs 4 (signs) (replaced sign size of 2 square feet with 4 square feet),
and 14 (smoke detectors) (added reference to propane as well as natural gas). We also revised
paragraph 16 to more clearly state that a violation of Section 241.2, a violation of a conditional
use permit condition, or a structural change exceeding the limitations for grandfathered status
may result in the City Council revocation of the grandfathered status or conditional use permit.
There is one substantive addition to the provisions in Section 241.2 that I wish to
specifically call to your attention. We are proposing the addition of a new paragraph 12, which
requires the owner or operator to maintain a guest log including the name, address and
telephone number of all overnight lodgers and to provide that log to the City upon request. This
language was drawn from the text of the recently enacted Fairfax County Ordinance and is
included for your consideration as an attempt to address concerns expressed by the City Council
over the practical enforceability of the number of contracts within a seven-day period and the
overnight occupancy provisions.
You will have the opportunity to discuss the attached draft ordinance at your informal
session on September 11. We will have a resolution referring this ordinance to the Planning
Commission ready for your formal consideration on September 18.
Also attached is a draft City Council Policy regarding the process for consideration of
Short Term Rental Overlay Districts. This item may also be placed on an agenda if acceptable
to you. Because this item need not be referred to the Planning Commission, you may wish to
defer consideration of it until later in the process.
As your city attorney and as a citizen I wish to express my appreciation for the time and
attention you have devoted and will continue to devote to this difficult but important issue. Please
contact me if you have any comments, concerns or questions.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Stiles
City Attorney

Re: Abstention Pursuant to Conflict of Interests Act § 2.2-3115 (F)
Dear Mrs. Barnes:
Pursuant to the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, I make the following
declaration:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the City Council's discussion and
vote on an ordinance or ordinances that would regulate short term rentals in the
City.
2. My mother-in-law's will provides that my wife will receive a 1/6 interest in a home
located at 2945 Sandfiddler Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23456, which is within the
Sandbridge Special Service District. The estate, however, is still in probate, and
title to the home currently is in the name of her estate. Neither my wife nor I serve
as executor, and we do not know when probate will be completed.
3. I have requested an opinion from the Commonwealth's Attorney regarding any
restriction the Act might place on my ability to participate in the City Council's
discussion and votes on this issue. Until I receive the opinion from him, out of an
abundance of caution, and in the interest of transparency, I have chosen to disclose
this interest and abstain from the City Council's discussion and votes on this matter.
Accordingly, I respectfully request that you record this declaration in the official records
of City Council.
