New Orleans City Council members Stacy Head and Nadine Ramsey want to task the city with studying current and new rules for short-term rentals. The council members plan to introduce a motion at the council's Community Development Committee tomorrow asking the*City Planning Commission (CPC) to look into regulations for short-term rentals (aka Airbnb-type rental units) within the new Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance "from a land-use perspective, in light of municipal regulatory schemes recently enacted by local government entities around the United States."

According to the motion, the CPC will be asked to consider*whether the current definition of "short-term rentals" should be amended in the CZO, as well as*limitations for sizes, number of rooms and units for short-term rentals ? and*whether to even allow them, make them conditional use or a permitted use.?
