C. The form of the permit and application process: The Town Board shall prescribe the form of the Short-Term Rental Permit application, which shall be administered by the Code Enforcement Officer. The applicant shall submit all required information to the Code Enforcement Officer. (1) Applications for Short-Term Rentals on parcels that do not qualify as a Primary Residence shall be forwarded by the Code Enforcement Officer to the Town Board for review and decision. The premises shall be inspected before Town Board Approval. (2) Applications for Short-Term Rentals on parcels that qualify as a Primary Residence shall be inspected by the Code Enforcement Officer or their designee upon receipt of a complete application. (3) The Short-Term Rental Permit shall be issued only upon successful completion of all required inspections and satisfaction of applicable requirements. D. Requirements: Before a permit may be granted, the following requirements shall be met for any short-term rental unit listed : (1) A drawing of the building floor plan or site plan with accurate dimensions. The drawing shall designate rooms for use by guests, designate exits and access to exits and identify and specify the off-street parking spaces that are required by this chapter. (2) Any Non-traditional Dwelling Unit offered as a short-term rental shall clearly disclose in all advertisements, listings, and booking platforms that the unit is an “Non-traditional Dwelling Unit.” Such disclosure shall include a clear and accurate description of the type of structure (e.g., yurt, recreational vehicle, tiny home, glamping tent) and the nature of the living arrangements and amenities a guest can reasonably expect (such as access to plumbing, electricity, heating, or cooking facilities). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure transparency for prospective guests and to avoid misrepresentation of the accommodations being offered. (3) The application shall be signed by the owner of the premises and shall contain at least the following: the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, if available, of the owner and operator, if any, as well as a local contact who is able to respond within 30 minutes.
