The agenda for the City Council meeting August 2nd lists two items concerning short term rentals.
Item 84 in the morning session: Set a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the City Code Chapter 25-2 addressing the short term rental of residential units. (Suggested date and time: August 23, 2012, 4:00 p.m. at Austin City Hall, 301 W. Second Street, Austin, TX).
Item 122, added in the addendum as the last item in the afternoon session: Approve an ordinance on second and third readings amending Title 25 of the City Code addressing the short term rental of residential units. (Public Hearing closed)
The city sent out two memos Friday and they really confused things (and effectively disrupted the anti-CSTR groups’ plans for Monday press conference and rally, some think they did this on purpose). The first memo said the Aug. 2 discussion on CSTR’s would have to be postponed. The second one said, oops, never mind, it doesn’t have to be postponed and is back on the agenda for August 2. (of course, after the media and about 600 people were notified that the rally was cancelled.)
Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
