Memorandum
To: Town of Vinton Planning Commission
From: Town of Vinton Planning and Zoning Department
Date: March 28, 2019
Re: Homestay Ordinance Regulations- Topics and Discussion Points
The use of short-term rental units (or homestays) is continuing to grow across the United States
and the world as individuals seek alternative options of lodging when traveling and vacationing.
The main draw of these lodging opportunities includes their affordability, uniqueness, locations,
and convenience. Unlike the typical hotel or bed and breakfast, these rental units are housed
within the homes, accessory dwelling units, etc. of individuals who can utilize these spaces for
secondary means of income. In fact, units located within the New River Valley can capitalize on
events, such as collegiate graduations or sporting events, to make thousands of dollars in a single
weekend depending on the size and demand. Despite the mass appeal of these online platforms
and the convenience they bring to guests and hosts alike, local governments must provide
standards and regulations in order to promote equity among businesses, protect public health and
safety, and effectively provide enforcement to preserve the residential character of their
neighborhoods. As shown in Appendix 1 of this memorandum, the homestay ordinances from
various localities differ in many ways as they seek to tailor these regulations to match the
demands and needs of their respective jurisdiction.
Registration Requirements
First and foremost, the capability and level of enforcement is a major function that a locality
should analyze for issuing any form of restriction within their ordinance. Some localities have an
annual registration requirement with the dual purpose of verifying the applicant’s credentials to
have this use and collect information for tax purposes. The registration process ensures that the
dwelling unit is located on the property that is the primary residence of the property owner. It
also allows localities to track the collection of a transient lodging tax from these property owners
through various physical and/or digital means. The lodging tax promotes fairness within this
specific industry by requiring these entities to not be exempted from the taxes that bed and
breakfast establishments, hotels, motels, etc. have to pay regularly in their operations.
Use Regulations
The use regulations attached to these homestays serve the purpose of ensuring that the residential
character of neighborhoods are preserved and the original intentions of these business ventures
as short-term rentals are upheld. As shown in Appendix 1, these three jurisdictions operate in
2
completely different ways and have regulations that are either lax or highly restrictive. In fact,
there are only four regulations in this entire table that are shared by a majority of jurisdictions
included.
The first regulation these jurisdictions share includes the prohibition of signage advertising the
homestay unit on the property. This regulation should coincide with the current signage
ordinance revisions our Planning Commission are working on. Next, all three localities agree
that the minimal rental period restriction should be 24 hours. Finally, both Blacksburg and
Christiansburg prohibit the parking of recreational vehicles, buses, or trailers in conjunction with
the use, and direct the hosts to prominently post the garbage collection guidelines within the
dwelling unit.
Beyond requiring a minimum 24 hour rental period, ordinances may include limitations on the
number of rental days in one calendar year, a maximum number of rental days, and even
distinguish between differing natures of a stay. In terms of the structural requirements of the
residence, Blacksburg currently allows for accessory structures for these living accommodations.
The City of Roanoke disallows for more than two bedrooms being utilized for guests for a
homestay purpose.
Finally, use regulations can also include limitations on the number of occupants per visit and
factors related to communication and accountability. Accountability is of the utmost importance
when contriving these regulations, as it ensures that both hosts and guests are held responsible
for the actions and potential nuisances that occur on the property. In light of this, some
jurisdictions have an age limit and require the hosts to be available to address complaints and
concerns of the guest and/or locality on a 24/7 basis. The occupancy restrictions of these
benchmarked localities range from 4 to 8 guests, which also addresses safety concerns related to
variable fire risks.
Safety Regulations
Although these dwelling units serve a purpose of lodging, not all residential properties are set up
in a way that promotes safety and welfare. In comparison to hotel establishments, these dwelling
units will pale in comparison to the building and fire code restrictions they must follow. The
enforcement of the following provisions will be difficult for the Town of Vinton due to the
limited staff time and resources we can dedicate towards these operations, however they should
still be included to set a strict precedent of safety. Potential safety measures include requiring for
an appropriate means of ingress/egress in a unit, working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors,
fire extinguishers in the kitchen, and more devices that help save lives in times of emergency.
Penalties
The final section of a homestay ordinance is necessary for all regulations, which includes the
level and mechanism for penalties to be imposed on property owners who are noncompliant with
3
these provisions. First, penalties should be imposed when someone fails to collect and pay the
required taxes and fees. Second, to avoid the potential of property becoming a public nuisance,
there should be a process in which a certain number of reputable complaints leads to the
individual losing the right to operate a homestay. Finally, if the property is not found to be the
owner’s primary residence, they should no longer be permitted to operate a homestay unit on
their property.
Conclusion
Homestay dwelling units will continue to be utilized by individuals across the country as it
grows in popularity and demand. Localities must be proactive in preparing a section of their
ordinances that addresses all the concerns and issues that may arise from these operations. If a
locality has an existing homestay ordinance and tax collection system that can be enforced and
operated, they will have the legal, operational, and political ability to effectively manage these
new enterprises.

Memorandum
To: Town of Vinton Planning Commission
From: Town of Vinton Planning and Zoning Department
Date: April 2, 2019
Re: Central Business (CB) District Building Height and Setback Requirements
The Central Business (CB) District in the Town of Vinton was created with the intention of it
embodying a compact, densely developed and well-defined area coupled with a strong pedestrian
orientation and urban shopping area character. Downtown areas in localities are economically
and culturally significant and should be the main hub of social and consumer activity. The Town
of Vinton has focused heavily on improvements and changes to revitalize the Downtown area
and corridor through the form of infrastructural improvements, short-term and long-term
planning efforts, and economic restructuring activities. The following consultant
recommendations hone in on the way physical characteristics of developments influence multiple
facets of economic and social behavior in a Downtown area.
The first major recommendation by the consultants is to increase the height limit in this district
from 35 feet to 45 feet. The main justification for this increase would be to allow for greater
density, particularly in relation to future mixed-use development with dwelling units being
located above retail spaces. During the final advisory meeting in December 2018, it was
recommended that we change the regulation to allow for four (4) stories in general, rather than
setting a specific maximum in feet. In preparation of this memorandum, sixty-six (66) properties
in the CB District were analyzed to calculate their building height (in stories) and their front-yard
setbacks. Graph 1 in the Appendix shows the percentages of different story level heights among
these properties. Overall, 59% of these properties are only one (1) story high and 38% are two
(2) stories high. None of the buildings in the CB district are currently over two (2) stories tall. Of
the existing two (2) story buildings, many of them may have the potential to incorporate
residential dwellings in the higher floor with a few already being utilized in this manner.
The second major recommendation by the consultants is to describe the front setback
requirements as a range, with a minimum and maximum yard requirement. The main reason for
the maximum setback limit is to incentivize walkability and keep storefronts closer to the
sidewalk where pedestrian traffic will flow. The reason for the minimum was to allow for a
buffer for potential utility improvements and allow for a minimal sidewalk to be located within
the public right of way. Although the Town staff agrees with the utilization of a front yard
setback range in this district, we are requesting the Planning Commission review the possibility
2
of a zero-foot setback minimum requirement. Our current zoning regulations and other localities
in the Commonwealth utilize a zero-foot minimum setback to accommodate for the existing
structures typically found in Downtown areas and foster a pedestrian-oriented urban streetscape.
The data collected during this research phase shows the existing front yard setbacks of structures
located in the CB District in the Town of Vinton, which will allow for these regulations to be
tailored specifically for our present and future developmental standards.
In the Appendix, Table 1 shows the frequency of front yard setback (in feet) amounts among the
66 properties in the CB District. Presently, 34 of the properties currently have a zero-foot front
yard setback which constitutes 52 percent of the total number of properties as indicated in Graph
2. With over half of the properties having this setback characteristic, we should be attentive
when preparing regulations for future developments to follow. For example, if an existing block
has a row of parcels with zero-foot front yard setbacks, we should be weary of requiring a new
infill development to have a four foot setback to follow a set of new regulations. Of course, the
nature of each block may vary in the CB District, so different approaches should be taken when
constructing these developmental standards. Overall, a range should be instated to promote the
original and future goals of our Downtown area.
