At workshop, city reveals its short-term rental numbers
Seats were filled at Columbia Falls City Council on Monday, Jan. 22 for a workshop on short term rentals. Currently there are no recommended changes, and all information gathered by the council is being taken under advisement.
City Manager Susan Nicosia outlined present STR regulations in Columbia Falls. The current zoning code was adopted in 2012, allowing conditional use permits (CUPs) for STRs in agricultural and residential zones and permitted use within commercial zones CB2, CB4 and CB5.
The city reported 128 total vacation rentals, with 108 in city limits and 20 outside but in the city’s planning jurisdiction. Within city limits, 78 were granted CUPs and 21 were commercial permitted, with nine in progress.
