WCNC | Matthews leaders vote to regulate short-term rentals @WCNC | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
After months of back and forth, the town of Matthews has officially updated their ordinance relating to short-term rentals.
The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Monday night to adopt new restrictions, as outlined in the agenda.
The changes impact Matthews Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO previously did not have a definition for short-term rentals. Now, they're included in the "Bed & Breakfast" section.
Those rentals will also be limited to room rentals, as opposed to whole-house rentals.
This is something long-term resident Patricia Robinson has been pushing for for months, since WCNC Charlotte first spoke with her in February.
"It's just been a nightmare. It's been, it's just not a good thing for Matthews," Robinson said.
