CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Cape Charles Town Council has scheduled a work session for Dec. 9 to continue discussions on a proposed short-term rental ordinance.
The ordinance, aimed at addressing the impact of short-term rentals on the community, has been a point of contention in recent months. Previous meetings have highlighted concerns over parking, neighborhood disruptions, and housing availability.
The council’s ongoing efforts to refine the policy underscore its commitment to balancing tourism-driven economic benefits with the town’s quality of life.
The work session will be open to the public, offering an opportunity for community members to voice their opinions.

Usually, work sessions ARE open to the public, but typically NOT open for public comments. Also, work sessions typically are not videotaped, so folks may want to confirm and not assume, if they want to actually hear what is being discussed.
