WHEREAS, at their regular meeting on June 28, 2022, City Council approved Ordinance #09,
Series 2022, (Ordinance #9), by a 5 to 0 vote, adopting Short-term Rental Regulations; and
WHEREAS, during such regular meeting, City Council was presented with proposed Short-term

with STR Program Guidelines", adopted pursuant to Ordinance #9, such guidelines shall set forth
the standards, procedures, and supplemental information necessary for the operation of a short-

WHEREAS, Section 26.530.050.D, approved pursuant to Ordinance #9, and Aspen Municipal
Code Section 26.208.010.H, Powers and Duties of the City Council, allows for Council's adoption
of any guidelines that will be used in a guiding or regulatory capacity by the City and allows the
amendment of such guidelines by resolution of City Council; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of Ordinance #09 on June 28, 2022, staff has built the short-term
rental program to support the new policy which establishes an equitable balance between the short-
term rental industry, the local community, and the Aspen Area Community Plan and in so, has
modified the previously proposed the Short-term Rental Program Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Short-term Rental Program Guidelines describes new program
details that take effect October 1, 2022 to ensure compliance under the new permit regime and that

short-term rentals in understanding and applying the new policy; and
WHEREAS, the City determined that establishing the regulations for licensing, permitting,
capping, inspecting, enforcing, and establishing a fee structure for services performed for short-
term rentals in this Resolution furthers and is necessary for the promotion of public health, safety,
and welfare for the operation of short-term rentals; and.
