Advisory committee to review existing ordinance for short-term rentals https://plus.google.com/b/114932372522295797425/collection/EhaQkB WACO, TX (KXXV) - The Waco City Council discussed its existing ordinances and permitting process for short-term rentals on Tuesday afternoon. Planning Services Director Clint Peters explained to the council currently 46 listings have obtained special permits to run the vacation rentals with three of them pending council approval. He added most of these listings have come in the last three to four months. “I think that is a positive thing for Waco, there is an increase desire for people in Waco and more people coming and visiting,” Peters said. Last year, Kathy Wise received her permit for her bed and breakfast located in the 1800 block of Washington Avenue. The Hymnsinger house, which opened in January, used to be an old barn behind the house built in 1896. “I just couldn't figure out a way to salvage it so I decided to tear it down and build a new building and use the barn wood of the new structure to preserve the story of the property,” Wise said. Wise said with the help of friends who want part-time work and technology, she runs her business. “I like hospitality and I think we’ve created a place that is beautiful and restful,” Wise said. https://plus.google.com/b/114932372522295797425/collection/EhaQkB
