605-607 Emery Short Term Rental Conditional Use Site Plan Neighborhood Meeting

The City of Longmont, Colorado, held an informational neighborhood meeting on October 23, 2026, regarding a proposed conditional use and site plan for a short-term rental at 607 Emery Street, one unit of a duplex in the historic Eastside neighborhood. City staff explained that no formal application was yet under review and no decision would be made at the meeting. Because the residential block has reached the limit for short-term rentals permitted by right, the owner must seek conditional-use approval before renting stays of fewer than 30 days. If submitted, the application would be reviewed by the Development Review Committee and proceed to a Planning and Zoning Commission hearing; no application or hearing date was identified.

The owner described the property as a family home used by his mother and for long-term rentals, and sought flexibility to offer occasional shorter stays. He said there would be no new construction, described two rear parking spaces (a garage and an outdoor space), and outlined guest screening, property management, and neighbor-response arrangements. Several residents opposed the proposal, citing concerns about neighborhood character, housing availability, parking, enforcement, and the possibility of setting a precedent for additional short-term rentals. The owner acknowledged the concerns; no motion or vote occurred. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
