The city’s last special-use permit for a short-term rental was granted before a subcommittee offers guidance on when or when not to approve the special use in Boerne.
Boerne city staff have begun the process of combing the city – outside of the downtown and River Road overlay districts where short-term rentals are automatically allowed – for short-term rentals in the city operating without the appropriate permit.
The city’s new Unified Development Code implemented last year has updated regulations, requiring special-use permits for any shortterm rental outside of the downtown overlay district and the River Road overlay district. Now, short-term rental requests are treated much like zoning requests as the city hosts BOND meetings with nearby residents before bringing the request to the planners.
