Ordinance No. 2022-02 from the Township of Lancaster amends Chapter 280 (Zoning) of the township code to regulate boarding houses and short-term rental units. The ordinance revises definitions for bed and breakfast establishments (now classified as short-term rental units for stays under 15 days per 30-day period), boardinghouses (residential facilities with rooms rented for minimum 30 consecutive days), dwelling units, and adds a new definition for short-term rental units (temporary accommodations in single-family dwellings for stays not exceeding 30 days). The Board of Supervisors determined these amendments were necessary to clarify zoning regulations and protect community interests.

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.

Columbia Charter Township in Jackson County, Michigan proposed a Short-Term Rental Ordinance designed to regulate short-term rental properties while preserving the township's residential, lake living, and agricultural character. The ordinance addresses community concerns about noise, disorderly conduct, overcrowding, traffic, parking, and potential loss of neighborhood character, while recognizing that short-term rentals provide community benefits through expanded lodging options and owner revenue. The ordinance applies to the rental of entire dwelling units on a short-term basis throughout the township outside Village of Brooklyn limits, and excludes owner-occupied rentals, bed and breakfasts, hotels, motels, marinas, and senior care facilities, with all requirements intended to supplement existing zoning ordinance requirements.
