The Stroudsburg Borough Council proposed a 2020 zoning ordinance amendment to regulate short-term rentals by amending definitions of family and dwelling units, and modifying zoning district use requirements and parking regulations. The ordinance aims to prohibit short-term residential rentals in residential zoning districts (R-1, R-2, and R-3) while permitting them in non-residential zoning districts, subject to specified criteria and a permitting process. The amendment was prompted by a 2019 Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision establishing that municipalities have authority to regulate transient residential uses through zoning ordinances.
