NEWS Association president calls for complaint system creation • C on tin u ed fro m p ag e 18 between short-term ac­ commodations and the bed and breakfasts.Popular online plat­ forms such as Airbnb, Flipkey and HomeAway facilitate bookings and payments for short-term accommodations.Not everyone was en­ thusiastic about the new regulations. Joshua Creek Resi­ dents' Association presi­ dent Janet Haslett-Theall said short-term accommo­dations do not support community building and stable residential neigh­ bourhoods. "We do understand you are looking to regulate and put restrictions in place that would limit the impact that short-term rentals could have on our commu­ nity," she said. "Perhaps this is the lev­ el of restriction we can best get, but we do have some suggestions."Haslett-Theall said she supported the regulation that the short-term accom­ modation operator needs to have their principle resi­ dence in the same dwell­ ing. She also said a total an­ nual cap on nights that the unit could be rented is crit­ ical and called for a clear complaint system to be es­ tablished. "It seems to be in behind the scenes with the short­ term operator. It needs to be at the forefront. Who can a resident call? How will it be addressed?" asked Haslett-Theall. "It shouldn't just be our bylaw officers, it should be the operator." Burton said the regula­ tions could be passed and then improved as they are rolled out. The regulations passed unanimously with the ex­ception of Ward 3 Coun. Dave Gittings who voiced concern about the town's ability to enforce them. Please keep our community clean!
