Short-term rental town hall, June 12

(June 1, 2021) The Ocean Pines Board has scheduled a town hall on proposed short-term rental regulations, on Saturday, June 12 at 6 p.m. in the Assateague Room of the Ocean Pines Community Center on 235 Ocean Parkway.  

Director Frank Daly, in May, introduced new attorney recommendations for a Declaration of Restrictions amendment about short-term rentals in Ocean Pines.    

Daly said a short-term rental workgroup worked with stakeholders to provide a balanced approach to regulating short-term rentals in the community.   

He said after many discussions over the last two years, that work group determined that the best solution is to adopt the existing Worcester County Code into Ocean Pines Declarations of Restrictions, with "enhanced enforcement provisions."
