Board of Adjustment and Appeals Meeting May 13, 2026

The City of Englewood Colorado Board of Adjustment and Appeals held a meeting on May 13, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to the short-term rental (STR) licensing requirements. The case involved a waiver of the primary residency documentation requirement for a property at 2963 South Lincoln, where the applicant, Sherry Gemelli, had purchased the property recently and requested an extension to file her tax returns, which are normally required to prove primary residency. Staff recommended approval of the variance with the condition that the applicant must provide the required tax documentation by the time of the STR license renewal. The board discussed the procedural and code implications of granting such waivers and the potential need for future code amendments to streamline the process. Ultimately, the board voted to approve the variance request with conditions as recommended by staff. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
