Short-Term Rental Study Community Open House | Session 1 | Town of Telluride & EPS

The Town of Telluride and Economic Planning Systems (EPS), the lead study consultant, will present the initial findings of the first round of the short-term rental (STR) study during two community open house sessions on Tuesday, July 25. This first session (Session 1) will take place from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. Session 2 will take place from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.

In advance of the expiration of Telluride Question 2D on November 2, 2023, the Town of Telluride hired EPS and subconsultant RCC Associates to conduct a comprehensive Short-Term Rental (STR) program evaluation and a mitigation fee study to help inform upcoming STR policy discussions. Since March, the consultants have been analyzing data surrounding tourism, lodging, and housing in Telluride to inform two key questions:

• How important are STRs to the Telluride Region economy?
• How might STRs be affecting the availability of long-term housing for the workforce and other people and residents in need of housing?

The community open house sessions will give the public an opportunity to hear the initial findings on the role of short-term rentals in the Telluride economy and the potential effects on the Town’s housing market. The consultants will also present information on how peer communities regulate, or don’t regulate, short-term rentals and invite input on potential approaches for Telluride.

Each session will allow some time to ask questions regarding the findings, data collection process, and presented information.
