Cleveland Township, Leelanau County, Michigan proposes a Short Term Rental Ordinance (Version 9, dated August 3, 2023) to regulate short-term rental activity that currently violates the township's zoning ordinances. The ordinance aims to permit short-term rentals while maintaining the township's rural residential, agricultural, natural, and scenic character. The township cites community concerns including excessive noise, disorderly conduct, overcrowding, traffic, congestion, and parking issues at short-term rental properties, as well as environmental concerns regarding septic system over-use and water quality protection. The ordinance prioritizes primary resident owners when awarding permits while providing opportunities for other owners and investors in designated zoning districts. The township notes that absentee investor ownership of single-family homes and non-resident property management are associated with poorer property maintenance and code compliance compared to owner-occupied properties.
