- Requiring the space between units to be 250 feet per block face.
- Asking the Planning Department to study other kinds of documentation(besides just a signed affidavit) the city can use to verify second/vacation home vs. investment property status. (For example, allow only properties owned by individuals or family trusts, and not LLCs.)
- Asking the Planning Department to study the feasibility of allocating a significant portion of the fees and taxes collected from short-term rentals of vacation properties to supportive and affordable housing funds.
