Short-term rental at non-owner-occupied home in Little Farms

Summary

A homeowner sought to run an Airbnb-style rental at a house he doesn't live in on E. 105th Street. Neighbors objected over drainage, traffic, speeding, no sidewalks and neighborhood character, but the board approved it for one year, noting state law limits how much cities can restrict short-term rentals.
