The Gardendale City Council will hear from the public at the June 5th meeting on the issue of banning all new Airbnb/short-term rentals in residential zones in the City.
On May 11th, the Gardendale Planning and Zoning Commission favorably recommended a ban.
The City Council is the final decision maker.
If the City Council votes to enact the ban, then any existing homes currently being operated as Airbnb/short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods would be allowed to continue to operate.
The public may speak for or against the ban at the 6pm meeting at Gardendale City Hall.
