If you were to ask any building code or zoning officials in New Hampshire, “Can I build a motel in a residential district?”— the answer is no, they are a business.
I would love to see the STR that can accomodate 16 guests. I looked for one that would handle 14 when seeking a Yellowstone cabin in Idaho. I found only a handful. They had 6 plus bedrooms. Not many houses like that in Madison. People use extremes to try and prove their point. That's why so many bring in 'children' to many arguments. STRs are here to stay. You can regulate them. That's about it. Get over it. I never knew there were so many drama queens in the MWV.
Oh, Nick Borelli. You spent months claiming that STRs were a "commercial" use in a residential zone, only to be knocked down by the court and told NO, Nick, STRs are a residential use. End of story.
So now you are using Tom Holmes' playbook and rather than use the term "commercial" you are now calling STRs "businesses". That's not going to work either.
I can't recall how many times you hve asked this question... repeatedly, ad nauseam... to selectmen and PB members:
QUOTE: “Can I build a motel in a residential district?”
The answer has always been (duh) "NO", but not because they are a "business". The answer is NO because of ZONING DENSITY REGULATIONS.
And now you say:
QUOTE: "Businesses aren’t allowed in residential zones because they don’t have the appropriate infrastructure (think traffic, road noise, parking) to support them."
Of course that's not true either. Home businesses are quite often permitted as ancillary uses and home offices, with certain restrictions, are allowed and widespread.
But here's the clincher, and it's as obvious as the ruling that STRs are not commercial use of a dwelling unit. If in fact renting out a STR is a "business", that business is not being conducted at the STR. It's being conducted elsewhere, as from an office in a commercial district, or a permitted home office from as far away as another state.
Nice try Nick, but you are making the same mistaken misrepresentations you tried and failed with before. Stop spewing your flawed misinterpretations and debunked arguments. You're simply wrong...again. Accept your loss and let's move on.
