Enforcement Against Illegal Transient Vacation Rentals

In addition to other penalties provided by law, including, but not limited to, Secs. 8-3.5(a) and 8-17.6, the Planning Commission Rules, as amended, the Planning Director, or any member of the public who has duly obtained standing pursuant to rules promulgated by the commission, may initiate proceedings to revoke or modify the terms of a Nonconforming Use Certificate pursuant to the Rules of Practice and Procedures of the Planning Commission, as amended. Violations of conditions of approval or providing false or misleading information on the application or in any information relating thereto at any time during the application process shall be grounds for revocation or cease and desist orders.Advertising of any sort which offers a property as a transient vacation rental shall constitute prima facie evidence of the operation of a transient vacation rental on said property and the burden of proof shall be on the owner, operator, or lessee to establish that the subject property is not being used as a transient vacation rental or that it is being used for such purpose legally. If any unit is found to be operating unlawfully, penalties established in Secs. 8-3.5(a) and 8-17.6 shall apply.
