Legal Documents of Rocky Top

Except in instances where constitutional principles or binding state or federal laws otherwise provide, the provisions of this chapter and any ordinances or other measures concerning short-term rental units are not a grant of vested rights to continue as a short-term rental unit indefinitely. Any short-term rental unit use, and permits for short-term rental units, are subject to provisions of other ordinances, resolutions, or other city measures concerning short-term rental units that may be enacted or adopted at a later date, even though such ordinances, resolutions, or other city measures may change the terms, conditions, allowance, or duration for short-term rental unit use, including but not limited to those that may terminate some or all short-term rental unit uses, with or without some period of amortization. While this recitation concerning vested rights is implicit in any uses permitted by the city, this explicit recitation is set forth to avoid any uncertainty or confusion. (Ord. #594, Oct. 2024)
