Special Magistrate Hearing - Jul 16, 2026
Three cases this session involved short-term rentals — loud parties, overstayed guests, and cars on lawns. The magistrate made clear operators need 24/7 contact numbers, house rules that get enforced, and a willingness to call police themselves, or the fines will climb to as much as $5,000 per violation.
Development Review Committee - Jun 11, 2026
A rooftop cinema and bar wants to run shows past 11 p.m. next to an apartment building, but city code restricts outdoor amusements near homes to before 11 p.m. The city is weighing whether the use even counts as an 'outdoor amusement' and what protections residents need from late-night noise.
