AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE VILLAGE CODE OF
ORDINANCES AT CHAPTER 78. ZONING. ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL,
SEC. 78-4. DEFINITIONS. BY CREATING A NEW DEFINITION FOR
"VACATION RENTAL" TO CORRESPOND WITH VILLAGE CODE AND
APPLICABLE STATE LAW; ALSO AMENDING THE VILLAGE CODE
OF ORDINANCES AT CHAPTER 78. ZONING. BY CREATING AN
ENTIRELY NEW ARTICLE XIV, "VACATION RENTALS" TO PROVIDE
STATUTORILY COMPLIANT REGULATIONS FOR THE OPERATION

WHEREAS, Chapter 509 Florida Statutes regulates public lodging
establishments as either transient public lodging establishment or non -transient public
lodging establishment; and
WHEREAS, in 2011, through the enactment of Chapter 2011-119, Laws of
Florida, the Florida Legislature created a new classification of transient public lodging
establishment known as "vacation rentals" that is defined in Section 509.242(c), Florida
Statutes, as "any unit or group of units in a condominium or cooperative or any
individually or collectively owned single-family, two-family, three-family, or four -family
house or dwelling unit that is also a transient public lodging establishment but that is not
a timeshare project."; and
WHEREAS, Section 509.032(7), Florida Statutes, provides that any local laws,
ordinances, or regulations enacted after June 1, 2011 may not prohibit vacation rentals
or regulate the duration and frequency of rental of vacation rentals, effectively
preempting the local regulation of vacation rentals with respect to duration and
frequency of the rentals, but allowing other local regulation; and
WHEREAS, unregulated vacation rentals located within established
neighborhoods can disturb the quiet enjoyment of the neighborhood and create
1

First Reading May 12, 2022
numerous secondary impacts, including excessive noise, traffic, on -street parking, and
a greater demand on public services; and
WHEREAS, traditional transient lodging establishments (e.g. hotels and motels)
are typically restricted to commercial and other non -residentially zoned areas where
intensity of use is separated from less busy and quieter residential uses, but vacation
rentals are by their nature and definition, located in residentially zoned areas; and
WHEREAS, like many other municipalities throughout the State of Florida, the
Village of Tequesta desires to impose standards upon vacation rentals both to provide
for the safety and welfare of occupants of such vacation rentals, but equally as
important, to minimize negative impacts caused by vacation rentals in residential areas,
and especially in established single-family neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Tequesta believes the
enactment of land development regulations applicable to vacation rentals is necessary
to preserve the integrity of residential areas and neighborhoods and corresponding
property values, while also protecting the health, safety and welfare of residents,
property owners, investors and transient occupants of the Village.
