What is the Good Neighbor Policy?

The City requires that all occupants of STRs adhere to the Good Neighbor Policy. The policy is intended to minimize the impacts on STRs on neighborhoods. An outline if the Good Neighbor Policy can be found in Section D. of the STR Application and Sections 17.113.070 and 17.09.070 of the PBMC.
