CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ANDY NAQUIN DEFERS SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE NO. CO-094-2023 (PROHIBITS IN RS)
Lafayette, LA – As author of City Ordinance CO-094-2023 that would prohibit short-term rentals (STRs) in Residential Single-Family (RS) Zoning Districts, City District 2 Council Member Andy Naquin has requested that the ordinance be deferred until the August 22, 2023 Council Meeting to allow additional review time to consider amendments to the ordinance. The ordinance would have been considered for final adoption during the City Council Meeting of July 25, 2023. The ordinance is as follows:
CO-094-2023 An ordinance of the Lafayette City Council enacting Chapter 73 of the Lafayette City-Parish Consolidated Government Code of Ordinances regarding the licensing and operation of Short-Term Rentals in the City of Lafayette, except for RS, PI-L and PI-H zoning districts, and establishing penalties for violations and amending Chapter 89 of the Lafayette City-Parish Consolidated Government Code of Ordinances by amending Article 2, “Table 89-21-2 Use Table,” Section 89-21(d) and Article 8, Section 89-151-1 “General Definitions,” all regarding Short-Term Rentals in the City of Lafayette (Prohibit in RS). (Andy Naquin)
The deferral of the ordinance does not indicate his support for City Ordinance No. CO-095-2023, which would allow STRs in Residential Single-Family zoning districts.
As of the time of this release, CO-095-2023 is still scheduled to be considered for final adoption during the July 25, 2023 City Council meeting at 5:30 pm.
