To all Douglas County residents. We have an online petition to help us protect you in the future from having Vacation Home Rentals (VHRs) in single-family homes in the middle of your residentially zoned neighborhoods.
In October the Douglas County Board of Commissioners will be meeting to determine the direction Douglas County will take with regards to how VHRs will be addressed within all of our neighborhoods. This is concerning because the board may vote sometime in the future, to expand VHRs into all of the communities in Douglas County, Nevada.
By signing this petition, all Douglas County residents will be able to protect themselves from these commercial businesses moving into their own neighborhoods.
VHRs in neighborhoods:
· Bring in a daily rotation of strangers to our neighborhoods, thereby exposing our children to danger as well as increased criminal activity.
· Bring in increased unwanted noise at all hours as the renters have parties and events without regard to how they affect the neighborhood’s quality of life.
· Bring increased traffic and congestion into our neighborhoods including daily surges beyond the occupancy limits of these neighborhoods.
· Bring in daily parking violations by stuffing in more cars than what our neighborhoods can actually sustain causing renters to park along already too narrow roadways or in other neighbors’ driveways (creating daily safety and conflict situations).
· Take housing from families, putting our students and teachers under a constant threat of school consolidations and the stress of changes to our educational structures.
The Douglas County Code Enforcement has been inadequate. As Douglas County constituents, we need to stand up as we have had enough in our neighborhoods.
Support yourselves by supporting us to eliminate VHRs in single-family homes in residential neighborhoods.
