The mission of the Short Term Rental Committee is to prepare a draft short-term rental general or zoning bylaw for the Select Board and Town Meeting to review and approve. The Committee’s work shall include an investigation of how other communities in the Commonwealth, particularly Cape Cod municipalities, are regulating short-term rentals including their impact on sustainable workforce housing and the establishment of enforceable best practice standards and requirements for the operation and occupancy of short-term rentals within the Town of Falmouth. It is the intention of the Board to encourage consistent and steady progress to timely reach this final recommendation, as it is in the Town’s interest to facilitate enacting a bylaw to regulate this important matter. To this end, and to provide for additional public dialogue, the Committee shall provide quarterly progress update reports to the Select Board.
