The web page details the provisions outlined in the Cape Charles Zoning Ordinance for Short-Term Rentals, which were adopted by the Town Council on Nov. 21, 2024. The ordinance establishes rules to regulate STRs in designated zoning districts, balancing the needs of rental owners while preserving the character of the town.
According to town officials, the ordinance ensures that STRs operate safely for guests, align with zoning district requirements, and integrate seamlessly into residential and commercial areas without disrupting the community. The regulations also work alongside the town’s business license requirements, allowing local officials to monitor the number of STRs and enforce compliance measures.
By providing an online resource, Cape Charles aims to enhance transparency and accessibility for property owners seeking to navigate the STR approval process. Officials encourage residents and STR operators to visit the website to familiarize themselves with the regulations and ensure adherence to town policies.
