The Isle of Palms City Council will now meet at 5 p.m. July 11 to consider an ordinance that would cap “investment” short-term rentals at 1,600.
Originally, the meeting was scheduled for 3 p.m., followed by the Council’s monthly workshop at 5 p.m. According to City Administrator Desiree Fragoso, the schedule was changed to give more local residents the opportunity to attend. In anticipation of a large crowd, the meeting will be held at the IOP Recreation Center rather than at City Hall.
In addition, a special Council meeting has been set for 4:30 p.m. so the Council can go into executive session and receive legal advice concerning its short-term rental options.
The ordinance, proposed by a local organization known as Preserve IOP Now, was presented to the city June 27 along with a petition that includes 1,173 signatures.
